I had an amazing time. I feel truly inspired and also clearer on many aspects of what teacher and teacher I want to be. I’m very grateful for the experience.

I felt connected, listened to and valued for being here. I felt that the teachers had great knowledge and met my needs as a learner... Thought had gone into everyone’s learning style.

I cannot recommend this training highly enough. It has helped me on both on a personal and a professional basis.

A wonderful experience for teaching and on a personal level. The possibility of change within everyone is my biggest takeaway. Thank you for a beautiful 5 days.

An absolutely fantastic course – invaluable to both the teaching and practice of Yin. Norman is a brilliant teacher with a huge amount of empathy and knowledge.
