Mehtab Benton is an amazing teacher with a comprehensive mastery of some of the higher yoga teachings (including Jyotish and Gong Yoga). He delivers them with much authenticity and joy. I have rarely met a master who is also so authentic and can’t wait for next retreat with him and his wife Guru Karam.
