I attended a kids yoga training this past weekend. As someone who never taught children, I was given the tools needed to feel confident in delivering a fun class for all ages. Suzanne Brubaker was incredibly knowledgeable, organized and delivered such quality information to all of us during the training. I highly recommend this training but Water and Rock Studio overall.
-Valerie
Thank you so much! Loved loved the class and resources. It was so great meeting you as well!
-Bianca
This training gave me peace in the midst of the chaos of my life. I hope to be able to take this training and transfer all of its positivity to healing myself and help kids in my schools initially. Down the road I hope to be able to use it as a side hustle. If all works out, I may even try to use it as my sole income base. Thank you again for your enthusiasm, gentle spirit and kindness. It's people like you that keep me going when things are really difficult in my world.

...it was such a positive and beneficial experience for me. Suzanne was an amazing, relatable, and flexible teacher and really knew how to keep virtual classes engaging and relevant for us. I am already implementing the techniques and strategies I've learned into my own daily life as a mom.

This training was absolutely wonderful! We learned so much and got to look at yoga from a more psychological perspective and try to see it through the eyes of kiddos. The program was overall incredible! Sooo happy I was able to do this.
