I attended the Toddler yoga instructor training course with Kimberly. The group work was enjoyable learning experience. Inspired confidence in developing skills to deliver a successful business opportunity. Highly recommended.
Wendy Walker Doncaster, March 2018

I have learnt so much in regards to toddler yoga and from attending the training with experience trainer and students.
Rachel Doncaster, June 2017

I feel that toddler yoga is a fantastic tool in order to enrich a story telling experience. It enables the children to get really involved in the story and encouraging the child to move and listen rather than just sitting and concentration lacking after a very short time. It also shows parents that exercise is not scary and something as simple as a story time with movements can have a huge impact on their own wellbeing as well as their child’s wellbeing. I think I will be using this in both my personal and professional life.
Beth Swansea, March 2017

I loved how much sensory development was included in the sessions and I can see I will really build on this aspect for my own classes
Dawn June, 2017

I now realise you can turn simple songs and rhymes into simple yoga moves and the EYFS information was really helpful as I work in a nursery.
Emma Swansea, March 2017

The best thing as learning how to incorporate movements into stories, songs and rhymes. It was very informative and professional, fun and enjoyable’

It was great learning the moves and how to use any storybook within your sessions. All of the sessions were really inspiring and gave me so many ideas.
Eiys Swansea, March 2017

Thank you for another brilliant course! I have just done the Course is London which was great and lots of fun. I have also trained in Baby Massage and Baby Yoga with To Baby & Beyond. I have done face to face express courses and have found the group work really enjoyable and the coursework relevant and very useful preparation before the training day and the case studies. The courses are methodical and follow a logical format and this makes everything easy to understand and always flow really well. Julie and her team are very knowledgable and pass on a wealth experience to deepen learning along with passing on very helpful advice and tips when setting up your business. I have always felt supported in my learning and afterwards as wel. I have throughly enjoyed the journey so far - and excited to see where it takes me :) Thank you!
