I mentioned a few weeks ago in our Ompractice monthly teachers meeting that while I don’t currently intend to dive into a 200 hour teacher training for myself, I’d love to start reading my way through a YTT-esque reading list to further my own learning, and deepen my practice.
Jane, who teacher our awesome Sunday evening restorative class, was kind enough to send me an email with some of her favorites, and I intend to relish my way through them.
