'To practice with a sangha, to tune in together and share the transcendental intimacy that we experience on the meditation cushion, the yoga mat, or in prayer, creates a spiritual resonance that amplifies our inner alignment with source and develops a lasting bond with our spiritual family’.
- Igor Odriozola
