"Charli encourages every student to bring out their own unique teaching style, in a nurturing environment. Her teaching style and support both on the course and after completion is exemplary. It is the best decision I could have made and the YTT has been transformational, truly life changing. I have the utmost respect and gratitude for Charli."
Francesca Deith, 200 hour Graduate
"Using the words of Meggan Roxanne 'Who I was at the beginning of the year, is nothing compared to who i am now”. Thank god for growth and self-love and all the opportunities that arose directly after I reminded myself of who I am and what I deserve. This teacher training course has been that opportunity and it has reminded me over and over again of the beauty, light and potential we each hold whilst equipping me at the same time to go out and safely teach yoga"
Emma Maltby, 200 hour Graduate
