You are an exceptional teacher.’ ‘This workshop exceeded all my expectations.’ ‘I just wanted to thank you for a fantastic weekend of learning and re-consideration. I run a yoga group at school twice a week & yesterday was my first class following the training. I had such a successful class integrating my learning within our group. The children were so responsive to a little more structured program…..When the expectations for children are set high they will rise to meet it (that’s been my experience anyway).’ |
