A recommendation from a teacher who knows you well helps us with a look into your practice and commitment to yoga. We prefer a recommendation from an Ashtanga based teacher, yet whomever you call your teacher works fine. We would like to hear about how long you have worked together, what the experience has been from the teacher's perspective, your teacher’s view on your potentials and challenges, whether your teacher finds you are physically and mentally ready to pursue a one month all day intensive, plus whatever else your teacher finds relevant.
