program, will begin offering daily yoga classes, meditation

new textbook that will be utilized in this new expansion of its
operations.

for the practice of yoga, whose true purpose is to free us from our inner conflicts and
help us recover the pure joy within, that is not dependent on any external circum-
stances,” she says.
Core teachers will be FYI teacher training graduates Suzy Goldberg, of Cape
Coral; Raquel Torres and Madeline Ebelini, of Fort Myers; and Sondra Mitchell, of
Estero, who is also an FYI faculty member.
