Camilla from Norway October 2011
"The 200hr Therapeutic Yoga Teacher Training has been one of my best experiences ever. The days were long and intense, but the themes were interesting and very different so the hours just flew. I have learned so much and I feel more confident teaching yoga in different settings. I certainly recommend the programme to anyone who want to teach yoga and to anyone who want to deepen their own practice. It`s a journey, not just an education"
Jen from Colorado USA October 2011
"I recommend the program to prospective students. For me personally, the overall experience has helped me to be confident in my teaching skills and become more aware of all the aspects of yoga. Professionally, I think this course will help me in my future teaching because of all the modifications we learned and different ways of teaching. I feel now as though I can teach most people, not just young, fit people. I think the third week was a vital part of the course"
"The course also truly allowed me to work on myself, which will inevitably lead me to be a much better teacher in the future. As a teacher, Kathy was incredibly compassionate and gave me so many tools I have taken home with me. After taking this yoga therapy course, I feel confident in my ability to help students from a variety of backgrounds. I could not have asked for a more positive or rewarding experience. Thank you Kathy!
Janna October 2011
"What struck me most, is Kathys ‘gift’ to empower people and mirror them – at the same time not interfering with their process (which for me worked very well).
The times we spoke during the coaching talks, I could actually make direct contact with ‘self-confidence’ – and say and feel without ‘blushing’ or shame: “Yes, I can do this! I can be a teacher. I am a teacher.” Whereas in the past if somebody said something like ‘you are good at this or that’ – it remained something they said… but I couldn’t feel myself. Kathy is very welcoming, always positive towards everybody and everything, giving (we got so much information/handouts and visits to other places) she is also a very experienced Yoga Teacher and Coach"

Rosy March 2011
"My decision to take Kathy's Therapeutic yoga teacher training was something that happened unexpectedly but it was most fortuitous.
It was a difficult time of my life so I looked to see if I could find a program and a teacher who could offer a gentle and compassionate environment for learning & growing while healing.
I stumbled on Kathy Therapeutic Yoga Teacher training which spoke to me as it was tailored to illnesses & conditions. I thought this program would allow me to recover in a gentle more serene way. I liked her approach as she was the only instructor that I had contacted that backed her information up with lots of data, studies and legitimate references when I emailed her my questions. This told me she was credible and had integrity. What I received from the training far exceeded everything I could have ever imagined. Additionally, the encouragement and inspiration I have received from Kathy has allowed me to open my heart and eyes to other career possibilities within Therapeutic yoga and mind body healing. Since the training I have had many interesting opportunities come to me most of which were unexpected. The program and experience was delightful and Kathy since the training has been extremely resourceful as I try to figure out how and where I will lay my hat"

Andrew completed his 200hr Therapeutic Yoga Teacher Training programme in April 2011.
