“There’s an interesting wave in the yoga community today. A lot of people have been practicing yoga for years, even decades. Their bodies are healthier, their relationships are better. They’re saying, ‘Now what? How can I take my practice off the mat and into the world?’.”

—Seane Corn from “The Karma Yoga Queens” by Kristin Barendsen Yoga + Joyful Living, January-February 2008

“OTM provided me a centered foundation to begin asking myself those tough questions….what is my purpose, what do I have to give, am I capable of these things? Going to such depth in a like-minded, supportive and caring environment created the structure for me to safely begin to crack open and heal from past wounds, preparing to give of myself in ways that would have been hindered before OTM. I am now living “heart forward.”

– Amanda Holdan
