“Just wanted to say thank you to you and Matt for the course. I really enjoyed it. The mix of yoga and calligraphy worked really well. And the pace and structure of your teaching was fantastic. I feel I have gained basic skills but more importantly a good understanding of the thinking behind and the philosophy of the art form.”

needed to write to thank you for this wonderful course. I am unable to join you live, but every week I have been enjoying learning these wonderful practices and I feel them influencing me in my other moments, massive enjoyment of the breath rising up, slowing down my perceptions and every moment lasting that little bit longer than before. I am so happy and grateful for your instruction.
