Robert Fitzpatrick is a spiritual inspiration for those seeking their own way into the mystical realms through focus on meditation, self-enquiry and a little humor thrown in. He spent many years on his own inner quest, from an early mystical experience which inspired travel, study, and most of all continuous exploration of the essential questions of being & consciousness. Through this journey Robert arrived at a place of resilience, patience and guidance that is essential to help others cultivate a yoga practice. You will find him these days leading meditation classes in and around New York City, as well as retreats & teacher trainings, "anywhere the pizza is good & the complaints are few", more specifically leading yoga meditations from Indiana to India...http://www.yantratecture.com

Past Students of this training are saying:

"...it really had a huge impact on me"

"these are excellent teachers, all so knowledgeable, open, fun and energetic"

"amazing....incredible....this is one of the most rewarding experiences I've ever had."

"I knew that teacher training was going to help me with my practice and expose
me to a bit more than asana but i had no idea that it was going to have this big of an impact
on my life. i really feel the direction of my life is changing..."
