Reviews

"The course was a rare opportunity to study with someone who possesses a wealth of knowledge, is more than happy to share it, and who takes pride in producing high quality yoga teachers."

— John Zutic

"I’ve done plenty of Yoga courses that teach content, this course teaches how to apply the knowledge. Each person is different, has a different way of moving, behaving and thinking. Jean's years of experience in her own practise and in teaching Yoga enables her to provide a course that offers practical steps to assist students develop their experience of Yoga. Jean is highly regarded in the Yoga community for the depth of her anatomy knowledge, it is her ’signature dish'. This component of the course is invaluable. Jean also brings her depth of understanding to teaching pranayama and mantra. Again, applied, practical knowledge to build a genuine experience of Yoga.."
