“I am pain free for the first time in 6 years. My heart has lightened. This retreat was an experience of profound integration.”
“Superb yoga instruction. Brigitte & Sharon are concise, caring, professional & empathetic.”
“What I most enjoyed was the richness and fullness of the workshop. If I was to use one adjective to sum up your workshop, I would say “multi-dimensional”. Your looking-at-it-from-many-different-angles approach not only engaged me physically but also my intellect, senses, emotions, curiosity, sense of wonder were fully involved. The holistic way appeals to so many parts of me; it inspired me to want to explore and learn more!”
