No Separation in the Universe: discussing online teaching

Sarah and Kelly tackle the concept of separation: separation between teacher and material, teacher and student, student and time in the context of an online studio or class. An online studio isn't a compromise or a lesser option to an in-person class. It's simply a different medium, and it could be the way forward to making yoga an accessible part of your daily life. If the teacher's intention is there, you will feel it across time and space.
