‘Great use of imagination, just what kids need and love.’ ‘Incredible activities. Lots of inspiration.’ ‘The workshop was rich in creative ideas. Your respect and love for children come through. 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).’ |
