Participant Experience
My gratitude to Kaivalyadhama for offering a specially curated workshop for Auto Immune disorders. The highlight of the course was how Renuji took us through it without making it heavy. Her personal connect with each participant and overall connect with the group was superb. I wish Renuji more power on her journey to positively impact many more people in demystifying and coming out of their painful state.
I started the workshop when I was very unwell, extremely tired, anxious and without sleep for days. As the days went by, after starting to learn the practices and with great support of Ms.Renu, I could get back my sleep and smile. I started to feel more open and happy. This was so special
It was an immersive experience. The workshop was superbly laid out and I take back great memories.
Renuji is one of the most grounded and honest teachers that I have come across. She is genuinely concerned about the participants. The workshop was excellent and much needed refresher into the vulnerabilities of our psyche.
I realized the course as very good and wish it should encourage the people preferably young ones.
The workshop was very well designed, covering all important aspects for well being (mind & body)
Understanding of issues, concepts....one relates to the Tutor's words and experience. Personal attention and time were given to address the participant's problem and issues.
Definitive/assured feeling of self-pride and equal hope that we can overcome our conditions. A fantastic insight into the Vedic-yogic-sattvic way of living.
Very good experience, not only from the contents of the workshop, but for sharing them with participants.
Had a great experience at the workshop. Learnt many new practices which are helpful. Especially the mind relaxation and the meditative practices, Overall had a great time.
Ms. Renu jain is an empthathetic knowledagable and meticulous teacher who helped us discover the positive aspects of our personalities. The lesson planning and the mixtures of the asanas, kriyas , yoga nidra , pranayama and other activities was excellent. I feel empowered to tackle the auto immune heath issues hence forth. Thankyou! Love and Light!!
Very good and I would rather say excellent and price worthy.
Here I got to know the power of yoga and which changed me within. Mind power helps us to revert all damages that I learned from here. This workshop gave me many new friends. Whom I will never forget ever. I loved the whole programme.
Amazing experience, got answers to my most of the questions. Hope can continue to follow everyday.
It taught beautiful way to spend the life. Now we are looking forward to practice yoga and all the kriyas in day to day life. Ms. Renu helped us to give new way to spend life. Thanking her from bottom of my heart.
