Five Day TriYoga Intensive in Barnaul, Russia with Rishi

From November 5–9, Rishi taught an intensive 40+ hour program in Barnaul, Russia which included all-levels workshops, Fire 108 (Level 3) teacher training, and regular classes. The program was organized by TriYoga teacher Irina and her partner Olga at their new yoga studio. This was Irina and Olga’s first time coordinating a TriYoga program and it was very successful, with the teaching room completely full for most programs including many new students. There was a wonderful energy in all of the programs, and all are looking forward to the next TriYoga event in Barnaul.
