I understand all of the material and feel comfortable
practicing at home with the new techniques. The

they deepened the physical practice.

addictive. I cannot wait until the next session!

Throughout the class series, I felt myself grow so much
as a hooper. I struggle with social anxiety and this was
good for me to be pushed out of my comfort zone. It was
good practice at celebrating me and not be
so hard on myself. Relax and don't stress.

I
was very impressed with the size and quality of the
information provided in the manual, as well as the
thoroughness of the group exercises. It actually exceded
my expectations. The slow but sure transformation of my
confidence in teaching was the most gratifying part for
me. I feel very confident and excited to hold my first
class! The format provided is a basic structure that I
can always go to, but you also gave us plenty of room to
make it our own.
- Annie, San Francisco, CA
Empowering.
I feel fully prepared to teach and ready for any awkward
students ... I am buzzing with energy and
excitement!
- John Parnell, Birmingham, England
I read everything on the website and everything said by
others as well. This class met my expectations totally
and went even beyond that! Probably the most I learned in
such a short time ever.
