"Mary (Fatehbir Kaur), based on her years of experience teaching seniors, has an infinite amount of wisdom within her on "how" to teach, but she also has you inquire deeper within yourself. Training with her has prepared me to teach seniors through her demo-sessions, self-awareness exercises, excellent and thorough teaching materials, and fun and exciting practicums with fellow classmates!"
