Kate, Yoga Teacher & 2019 Restorative Training participant.

“Your passion and heart / love of sharing this beautiful practice was inspiring and life changing. Your pace, tone & practical teaching style is fantastic, and you have a wonderful, calming presence. Thank you for sharing everything from self-care as a teacher, our worth, personal development, marketing tips, sequences that work, music do’s/don’t’s - and most importantly the importance of language and PERMISSION, as a core component. I’ve learned so much in 5 days about myself and others. Thank you !!”
Brooke, Yoga Teacher recent graduate & 2019 Restorative Training participant.

“This was such a great embodied training. I loved having time & space to experience each pose, the de-briefs, the detailed teaching tips and repetition of key facts, AND the great marketing info. Mitch was so generous with her knowledge. It definitely was time and money well spent.”
Sallyann, Yoga teacher & 2018 Restorative Training participant.

“Already teaching & loving Restorative, I have been taken to a new depth. Mitch’s warmth, authenticity, knowledge, detail, humour & love was incredible. The humanness of it all was perfect. The return on investment was much higher than I’d even hoped.” Tracey, Restorative Yoga teacher & 2019 Restorative Training participant.

“Mitch’s Restorative training delivered everything it promised, and more. There was a beautiful flow to the course - and the emphasis on small details that make a lot of difference, was great. It’s taken my Restorative practice to a whole new level, and given me the confidence to teach Yoga one day.”
Deb, Yoga student & 2018 Restorative Training participant.
