Participant Testimonials

“I am incredibly glad I attended this training. It has made very clear to me the emphases of what TCTSY is about and has given me concrete tools to work with in my practice. I also find the fact that it is applicable in daily life (even though you would not be coaching people) a real added value. It is in my eyes a philosophy of life, more than a stand-alone way of yoga.” Silvia Rossel, (Welkomthuiscoaching) Belgium, 2024
