“I have known that Yoga was helpful for my mental and physical wellbeing for quite some time. I joined Amy Wheeler at Optimal State for her Yoga Therapy and Ayurveda Therapeutic Specialization in January of this year. In these three months I have realized that what I thought I was experiencing on a mental and/or physical layer, is actually much more complex. This helped me dig in and realize areas where I could improve my life immediately, such as setting healthy boundaries. I am in awe with what I have learned so far, and I look forward to what is ahead of in my Yoga Therapy path, as well as how I will be able to apply this knowledge in helping others.” – Maurizio Caputo, Florida
