Easy to understand

I loved the classes, I found them really useful in so many ways, the way you explained the skeletal system and got me thinking about my bones rather than muscles was fantastic. The ways in which you described the movement was easy to understand and it was all at a good pace I thought. I looked forward to coming to each class. I enjoyed the before and after stretching etc a lot also. If anything I was going to ask you if you would consider making a CD of your talking through the breathing and movement to buy so I could do it at home as I found that part so useful and meditative!
The dancing was great, I felt movement in parts I had never used before and the use of parts of the body which I hadn’t consciously thought of before also and this is of great benefit I think to health and awareness. I thank you for your teachings and beautiful space in which to learn, I felt your encouragement and approachability.

Purifying and healing

What Yvonne had to say about SensingFeelingDancing the Charkas 2009

“Thank you, Maria, for providing an exquisite space in which our inner feelings, our inner life really, can be explored and expressed through dance.  I’m finding this experience tremendously purifying and healing. Each week, as another Chakra becomes enlivened and strengthened, the process has assisting me in my journey from fragmentation to wholeness.”

It brought me back to my body

I also especially love the way you really focus on the belly being our dance centre. I think for me this is what inspired me the most. It brought me back to my body and my feeling centre. I can quite easily lose my centre; a lot of stress from every day running of a business can be overwhelming

How great & unique our class is

I went along to another class this Saturday  for a little extra practice, & while it was a good class, it definitely gave me an appreciation of how great & unique our class is, & what a great teacher you are.
