I’ve been reflecting on the really hard year I’ve had. The meditation class with you was my refuge. I learned so much and have developed a regular practice, morning and night. For this gentle entry into the practice, I’m so grateful.

{Farah was such a great teacher. It was a real pleasure having her as my teacher. She is so open and friendly and very good at getting students to understand what she is teaching.
{Farah leads by example. Her ability to hold space and structure a class while simultaneously allowing us to do the same releases any anxiety one may have about being in class.
Her way of clearly and mindfully articulating concepts makes it amazingly easy to be an attentive student and just learn!
