TESTIMONIALS (2015 Foundation Course)

Thank you for your teaching which has been both fascinating and inspiring. I have learnt so much and it has secured my decision and helped me find the confidence to commit to becoming a yoga teacher.

I really enjoyed this course and I cannot see how it could have ben more effective. I particularly liked the delivery of the philosophy and the amazing meditations lead by Liz. I found the course to be an overall inspiration in terms of my personal practice and to study further. Many thanks to Liz an amazing teacher!

A fascinating and eye-opening course with a very experienced and knowledgeable tutor and lovely group. It has opened a window onto the magnitude and power of Yoga. Every Sunday has been a special time to ground myself and think more clearly. I’ve learnt a lot. Liz has facilitated an excellent and thorough Foundation Course.

Liz approached the course in a great way, giving a very organic rounded understanding of yoga using a variety of methods, which meant it was an extremely powerful experience.
