You have openend me up to a whole new way of living my life and I am really grateful for everything you have taught us.

"I didn't expect to enjoy Anatomy and Physiology this much! and we got to practice more meditation than I expected" 

"the friendship and support of the group has been a delight. The volume of knowledge has been an eye-opener - I shall be studying aspects of yoga for the rest of my days and still not reach the end of it! My own development both physically and spiritually has surprised me"

" I really loved the course. It's been one of the best things I have ever undertaken to do and one of the most rewarding. Thank you!"

" I have so much more understanding of how energy moves in different asanas. I have deepened my meditation practice and I have brought yoga into my daily life. I am much more confident that what I am teaching is safe and in the correct order for maximum benefit. I have a much broader knowledge of asana (and their names!). I feel more capable of putting a class together with a themes, chant etc"

" I gained a lot of encouragement and support and I feel I have the confidence to teach"

"I really enjoyed the open style of learning and the opportunities we had to discuss things in a group setting"

"The structure of the course was fantastic"

" I realise that I love teaching and that there so much more to yoga than asana - it's such a wide subject! - I chose this course because it has such a wide syllabus and it was even more comprehensive than I thought it would be"

 " I have a much deeper understanding of history and philosophy and how it influences what I'm doing in the present day"

" I have learned some new approaches to asanas that I have struggled with before. There were lots of great asana teaching techniques. I have a better understanding of mantra and the use of sound in yoga so that I can offer my students something meaningful"

 " I feel that I got an excellent grounding in the nuts and bolts of teaching asana, learning and practising adjustments and assists, but also I think we had the opportunity to learn a lot of nuances - all the feedback was brilliant,"

" I gained so much from this course! - increased strength and flexibility - new skills for connecting body and mind. Exploring a fascinating philosophy and science. I have also learned how being true to myself maintains professional integrity"

" I felt really at home and looked after on the residential"

" one of the best decisions I have ever made! Thank you!"
