“I’ve always been awed by the core strength education offers individuals. It fuels us with an INNER POWER to forge a path and embrace a journey no matter how bumpy the road may become or where it will eventually lead us. Open a book, switch on a computer, turn on a cell phone, listen to music, sit in meditation, take a yoga class with a master; the possibilities to explore and grow are infinite. There is no end within the realm of knowledge, only new and wondrous beginnings. I know this because I’ve seen the transformation of students I’ve had the privilege to teach and I’ve felt it in my own journey of discovery which continues to this day.” Dr. Susan Taffer
