Feedback & testimonials from my workshops and courses:

Sensory Processing Yoga Sessions

Yoga has helped me feel confidence about myself and how to use my body.

Aaron aged 7

The yoga sessions have helped me feel stronger and relaxed. I initially found it hard to lay down still in the relaxation. However, yoga has thought me a lot about my body and how to use my breath when I am feeling anxious. I use the breathing exercises in school as a way to calm down when I am feeling worried or anxious.

The Yoga of Pregnancy Prenatal Teacher Training

A two day Prenatal Teacher Training Course (registered with the Yoga Alliance, worth 16 CPD points).

“I found the whole experience much more enjoyable, simple, calming and inspiring for my soul, body, mind, practice and role as a yoga teacher than I thought I would. Thank you so much it’s been a joy and a bit of a transformation to acknowledge and honour pregnancy … so many lovely ideas to cherish and consider.
Thanks so much for a great, informative, fun and inspiring weekend. I now use a few of the more fluid movements we went through in my classes and have had a great response 🙂 As well as having my first x2 pregnant clients I now teach weekly!”  Emily, Yoga Teacher
