BIRTHLIGHT YOGA DIPLOMA TESTIMONIALS

Course dates: 26th-28th March

Attending the Birthlight yoga diploma was an eye-opening, thought provoking weekend.

I found the course work informative not only for pregnant women, but on a personal level too. Learning the benefits of yoga, in pregnancy - and the possibility of teaching these to pregnant women - is exciting and I see it as a priviledge also, as the benefit these courses/exercises have for women is evident.

I enjoyed the weekend immensely, and although it was a huge learning curve, and lots of information to process, it was also relaxing and grounding as it reminded me that sometimes I get too medicalised. Wendy presented the learning material with such enthusiasm and passion, displayed an obvious wealth of knowledge about this topic, and made me feel completely at ease.

I'm looking forward to progressing with Birthlight yoga teaching, and although it seems scary for me at the moment, I feel it is very much needed in addition to antenatal exercise classes and courses.

A wonderful mixture of theory with practical. A relaxing session.

Wendy's loving, encouraging and humorous way of presenting and leading this course has given me not only a wonderful and refeshing weekend for myself but also the right tools and ideas to make the class special and nurturing for my clients.

Hi Wendy

Thanks to Francoise and yourself for an amazing three days of Birthlight Yoga.

I was able to implement my learning immediately and practiced exercises with several post natal women the following day. Their complaints included sacrum pain, inability to rest during the day, haemorrhoids and incontinence and for every individual complaint I suggested one yoga therapy.

I felt I had made a positive input and the women responded enthusiastically.

I had a student midwife working with me and she was most impressed with the advice given and demonstrations of exercises.

Warmest Regards

Hi Wend

Now that reality has crept in and the days and nights are full I figured I'd better write down a couple of thoughts that I did not grasp at the end of our wonderful 3 days together. You and Francoise complemented each other very well over the course and there was never a time when I thought 'ok I can tune out or drift off' - other than relaxation of course!

I'm so grateful I took the opportunity for this seminar, as it once again shows me my pathway is not through the academic world but through practical application for happiness! Lots of soul searching in the car coming home! Some of us need to be battered over the head with our own destiny sometimes.

My other purpose for writing is a small item that has overall impact. It's around language and the attachment is a good example of what I've droned on in maternity circles for 14 years. Parents Centre CBEs certainly get that message clearly when they begin teaching. For me it's about strength and empowerment and this is what Yoga can do for women

Thanks Wendy,

I enjoyed the workshop so much! It was lovely to meet you and francoise and everybody.

My classes are continuing to go well here and I am introducing more and more of what I learned on the weekend with each class. Thank you for the certificate and access to the logo, and for contacting midwifery council.

I have begun thinking about the assignment and I am looking into some yoga classes to attend.

Thanks again wendy for your lovely work,

Warm regards,

Claire Eccleston, Midwife
