Testimonials

This was an AMAZING training! The perfect combination of study and practical application. I feel as if I am bursting with knowledge and am incredibly excited to share all that I learned with my students. I feel that my teaching has become more confident, and I am giving my students a more complete class. I am so grateful to Sue for allowing me to take part in this – she is a SUPERB instructor! Thankful to Allie for her assistance, to Tracy for her behind-the-scenes admin, and to all the women for sharing their knowledge and experienceBethany Reilly

I really enjoyed this training with Sue and the great group of women that came together for it. I appreciated the focus on both the physical and spiritual and also the nice blend of strengthening and restorative. Sue is an extremely knowledgeable teacher and I loved getting to learn not just about yoga but also more about pregnancy and birth as well. Thanks Sue! Megan Braemore
