Namaste~
I am a CYT-200 and ACE Paddle Fit certified (Brody Welte). Are you the only SUP Yoga Alliance certification in USA offering this training class or are there other locations? I am expanding my SUP business in 2012 and researching all options for a SUP yoga certification and the WPA Class I certification too. Would greatly appreciate your information and guidance.
Thank you,
