Past Participants Feedback:
“The Toddler-training was first of all lots of fun! Emma (the teacher) guided us in confidence and by making space to share real-life-experience with each other made it so valuable. From practicalities of setting up a class to the intention of connection and honouring the roots of the 8 limbs of Yoga: the whole courseflow covered it all. In just 4 mornings we created this warm bubble and I am grateful to meet such heartwarming people from all backgrounds and ages, learning from each other – a Birthlight training really models connection with humility and humanity. Thank you!!” Sept ’26 Pui Yee
