Feedback

The yoga sessions run by Dominique were absolutely marvellous. They were mindful, relaxing and well differentiated. I was especially pleased with how accessible they were for our Reception pupils. All teachers were extremely positive about our Yoga Week!  John Mills, Teacher, St Batholowmews Primary, Brighton.
