Past trainees comments and testimonials

"I just wanted to say a big thank you for this weekend, it was truly needed. I have come home and practised the yoga with my daughter; she has really enjoyed it, and bonded with me again over the course of the afternoon. She loved it more than I have ever seen her enjoy her other children’s yoga! I have a feeling it was the best money I have ever spent. All the Birthlight people were amazing." Georgina

"I tried some of the things we learnt over the weekend with my 2 year olds today and I got them all joining in which they have never done before!" Georgina

"I am using loads of Smart techniques in my classes now, and lo and behold I have had complete concentration from all my students so far, and the youngest was 22 months!" Georgina

"A wonderful course – I can’t wait to get started!" Anne-Marie

"Just to say I throughly enjoyed and can recommend the Smart Toddler course. I hope it continues to run and goes from strength to strength. Melanie has put a lot of time and thought into it and draws from a wealth of teaching experience. I have been happily driving my partner mad practicing all the fun new songs I've learnt! Thank you Melanie." Cat

"I am studying for my Baby Yoga diploma and went to Newmarket to see Melanie in action. I also managed to catch her SMART toddler class which I have a personal interest in as I have a very active 14 month old little boy!  I must admit I was absolutely amazed to see the little ones in action with their Mummys. The energy in the class was incredible, positive and uplifting and although noisy not really what I would call chaotic. What astounded me the most was the final relaxation when on hearing the bells several of the little ones went to collect a cushion to lie down with their Mummy – magic! As soon as I have had a bit of baby yoga practice you can count me in for a SMART course and I would urge anyone who is thinking about it to go and see Melanie in action – you will come away with a big smile on your face and a full heart!" Steph

"I just wanted to send a public word of thanks to Melanie for the wonderful two days held in London for the SMART training at the beginning of this month.  It was a packed couple of days (could have done with more time, but happy all the same!) It was such a pleasure to see how we can extend from our baby yoga sessions and make the transition to our mobile little people. For those of you who don't know much about it, it's such great fun. Looking forward to hearing how everyone else is getting on with their sessions, especially those of you who were going straight from the course into running classes already pre-arranged(!)" Claire
