“Navina’s Thai Yoga Massage certification by far exceeded my expectations. I have taken many different courses, workshops and certification programs in the past few years and this one was one of the best. The course content and resources were laid out better than any others I have seen and the online content was incredibly helpful and easy to access. The instructors were engaging, caring and thoughtful and took the time necessary to go the extra mile for each student’s learning experience.”

“I have been to many training’s and workshop courses over the years in the movement world and also the music world. These training’s have been all over the globe and with various groups of individuals that I have had to board, and eat, and share spaces with for many weeks. In these spaces, I have run into situations that as the time goes on the more I had to distance myself from the groups (literally going for runs ever spare second in some cases) as competitive natures or conflicts would pop up amongst groups. However, not once at Navina did I ever feel this, the space was so neutral and things were handled so incredibly well that I never felt like I had to run, that is really special. The way you and Maryl manage the centre is truly beautiful and you have managed to create a safe space (in many ways) in the middle of the jungle.”
