Workshops References"Really really pleased with all the positive feedback, I couldn't be happier. We had a full class of 30. Anna was easy to liaise with leading up to & post IST. The day was interesting, informative & easy to follow. Anna's enthusiasm for the research they have done overflows & rightly she is proud of her work. This came through in her delivery" Lauren Clarke BWY Derbyshire County Rep re Yoga for Healthy Lower Backs."Responses to the day were all favourable and positive. I would love to book you again in the future and I shall certainly be able to tell my fellow county reps what a successful day it was." Val Booler BWY Training Officer West Mids re Yoga for Healthy Lower Backs "Your day was excellent, both content and delivery - informative and inspiring. I will definitely suggest that you are booked again. I'll also be mentioning how good your day was in my write up in the NW BWY mag." Katie Duffy, BWY NW County Rep- Greater Manchester & Isle of Man re Doshas. "Feedback said - excellent, uplifting, brilliant handouts, great communicator and a very inclusive person.

We all enjoyed it." - 100% would recommend it to other teachers - BWY feedback Linda Dunne BWY East Yorks re Dosha IST March 2010 "Thank you for a truly inspiring workshop." Eleanor Barkans FRYOG Dosha day Nov 2009 "Anna came to Coventry to teach a general yoga session for students and teachers on Yoga and Ayurveda. Anna was well prepared with suitable activities and handouts. Her knowledge of the subject was thorough and she presented it in an accessible and lively way. The session was practical and mainly focussed on yoga practice but with the added emphasis on Ayurveda even familiar practices revealed something new. Though the session was not INSET training there was plenty of food for thought for teachers which I am sure we have taken forward into our understanding of students in our own classes. All reported satisfaction and found Anna friendly and approachable. I particularly commend her kindness and support for the newer students in the group". Lesley Butterwick, BWY County Rep Warwickshire "Anna delivered a fantastic workshop - informative, varied, and fun. She presented it so very well, sharing her knowledge through a perfect mix of written, spoken and practical information. She also made it personal by clearly drawing on her own experiences with the Doshas. It was one of the best yoga workshops I have attended in a long time, and in following some of her advice can already feel the benefits!" Christine Ross FRYOG re Dosha day Nov 2009 "Thank you for attending the AGM and being our guest tutor. Feedback was very good".

We were most grateful for the hard work you put into the weekend with your preparation and handouts and the varied and enjoyable sessions of physical practice" Sue Hargreaves Cheshire Yoga Teachers Association re weekend 2009
