Previously said about the course

It felt like a warm embrace to the world of yoga. I felt like I was in guiding and secure hands. I definitely bring with me the awareness of the breath, registering it and focusing on it, not only during classes but over the weeks. That the “one breath – one movement” makes sense!

This course really helped me feel more secure in my yoga practice and I now feel brave enough to go to regular classes at Yoga Folks! It was great to understand different breathing techniques and learn about the way we breathe. Yoga can be so many different things!
