| Really enjoyed it! |
| Very informative and helpful. Opened up so many different ideas and very practical. |
| A very helpful course for teachers who are interested in introducing yoga in the school classroom for students and colleagues. |
| I think this course has some good ideas but was not presented as well as it could have been. A lot of teachers talking and negative assumptions about students which I didn't appreciate. The DVD handout will be useful to help me learn what to do. The exercises were the most useful and beneficial. |
| Some concepts/ ideas/ terms (eg positions) were foreign to me and needed further explanation. |
| I honestly only picked up a few more techniques - already knew most from my training - but lovely day! |
| Very informative, good strategies for classrooms. |
| Really simple and not overly complicated which is good for beginners trying to integrate into the classroom. Lots of ideas that were helpful |
| Very enlightening |
