Level 1 Beijing 24 Instructor
Below is feedback from a recent Level 1 Beijing 24 Instructor Training session:
“Thank you Jenny for the most rewarding weekend. After enjoying the Sunday workshop with the group, I was able to relax, and then, appreciate the work we did together on the Saturday. It was amazing. Learned so much.” JD.
“Just a quick thank you for the wonderful sessions you provided for us this weekend. We have a lot to work through, and some great ideas and principles to explore in the coming weeks. I feel quite inspired again now. We are, or at least soon will be, practising the Beijing at a team of leaders, with renewed vigour again, thanks to your amazing guidance.” JT
“Thank you very much for excellent sessions last weekend. I really appreciated the learning and hopefully have taken much onboard. I especially appreciated your observation about me not concentrating enough on what my feet are doing - a goal for the coming months - and also the importance of drills and transitions, all gently reinforced. We all look forward to your sessions and are grateful to you for making the trip up.” CS
