    Beverley Kempel

    I got so much out of doing this course. Simon goes into so much detail and his explanations are consistent and logical throughout the course. As I progressed I found a deeper level of understanding with each of the asanas.Simon is extremely thorough and there was always an emphasis practicing safely.I think it is well worth doing for practitioners at all levels. I also think there would be a benefit in re-visiting the course in time as a refresher.The other benefit for me was an understanding now of how many of these cues are applied in the general Yoga Synergy classes.

    It has been a very good learning experience with the course and excellent teaching style.

    Colin Bond

    I found them useful in the way I’ve studied Ashtanga with such a rigid methodology, your posture has enabled me to relax more, they have open my hip flexors, and it’s given me more tools on how to approach posture

    Kimberly Chu

    Phillipa Matthews

    The course was fabulous, helping me to consolidate further my understanding and application of the bundhas in a wider variety of postures.
