What students are saying about the 2010 21-day teacher training in Christchurch:
"Donna, Marcia and all assistants, this training has by far surpassed my wildest expectations. I have been given a depth and insight into my own practice and into teaching that is priceless. The gift of a lifetime - Thank you!"

"The training brings a very deep connection with the body and breath and how to initiate and move into an asana on a very deep and profound level. Beautiful! I fully recommend this training on a personal level and to new and current teachers."
~ Judy Manning

"As the inate movement patterns of being human reawaken I wonder how it could be that they were missing from my practice, and how I never noticed their absence. I now have a freedom of movement that stems from my very core and will surely continue to permeate my life. To explore and discover in a space of wisdom, trust, care and laughter has been a joyous, relaxed experience for me."
~ Rachel Anning
