FEEDBACK

“As a yoga teacher, mindfulness has played a big role in helping my students to practice with presence, and since completing Ovio’s facilitator training my teaching has been transformed! The best part about the training is that you can mould it to fit in with your area of interest, or just present the course as is. Cheryl has a beautiful way of talking and teaching, with so much wisdom to share, I really can’t recommend the training enough!”

“I attended the Ovio Mindfulness accreditation course recently and it was really terrific. Not only has it enabled me to provide a more holistic service to my clients but it has also deepened my own daily mindfulness practice. I have done a few mindfulness courses in the past but this is the most comprehensive and practical one by far. The course was casual and friendly and Cheryl made us feel very welcome and relaxed. The support and fellowship following the course has also been fantastic and much appreciated. I would highly recommend anyone doing the Ovio Mindfulness accreditation course for personal or professional reasons.”
