Hi Anne! At your workshop, I had a such wonderful experience and was amazed to realize about my body & mind through your work.
Because of raising my little daughter, I always have very stift neck and shoulders. And it was such a long time I did not have so much relaxed feeling during and after your workshop. I wish I can practice more in daily life though…
I am looking forward to taking your workshop very soon.
Thank you for sharing your great work.
Till then,
Tamami Nooruddin
Thank you so much for your workshop last night.
So nurturing, nourishing and self-loving. Such good medicine.
I really appreciate your guiding self, the way you led and also allowed us to lead ourselves. I felt no expectation from you beyond the structure you created softly and lovingly, and that allowed me my self-exploration in safety. Thankyou!
