Testimonials from courses

‘What a great course! The perfect combination of online tutorials and a weekend of discussion with fellow yoga teachers. Thank you Gabrielle, for your supportive and open-minded facilitation”. – Jenny Ellinghaus, yoga teacher and author of Yoga for Travellers

A great workshop Gabrielle. It was well explained and always paced out well for question time and personal inquiry. I particularly enjoyed the posture, breathing and anatomical explorations/experiences that really bought everything together for me; being a person who learns best through demonstration and experiences. Thanks again for allowing for an incredible space for yoga teachers to come together – Julianna G.

“I completed an anatomy teacher training with Gabrielle and it was fantastic. A beautiful, natural space with lovely energy and amazing, inspirational teachers. Thank you Gabrielle!  – Sarah Cresswell
