    “This was my workshop of the course, Kate was very welcoming and had a great attitude towards us. She kept conversations flowing and was interested in getting to know us as individuals as well as having brilliant knowledge of Yoga and was able to answer all questions with facts. Kate really helped me out when I got particularly nervous in front of the class and pointed out things I did well which therefore made me feel more confident. Thank you, I look forward to the next one”
