The following feedback is from my first cohort who studied with me from March to September 2026.

This course is beyond my expectations, I was unsure what to expect and thought I would learn about the Chakra System within the human body, however this course has led me on a personal journey, I have gone deep within myself, and have a better understanding of myself and with Lina’s methods of facilitation this has made me more aware of how I perceive others in relation to myself. Lina’s delivery of the course is well timed and organised, she facilitates the discussion in a respectful manner, enabling participants to feel able to share, and also importantly able to not share if they don’t wish to. She is able to draw out thoughts and feelings like no other group facilitator I have worked with. (Emily)

“Lina is an excellent outstanding teacher her knowledge patience and guiding are really one of the best tutors I have had with the BWY. Totally unique in the way it is structured and delivered. To gain experiential learning and given at a pace that includes history, culture, philosophy sociology, and yoga traditions is really a journey which has given me a better understanding of the subject matter. It has exceeded my expectations because of the structure and the pace of the course, the use of skill and experience of the fellow students and the wonderful knowledge of the tutor. Her own background and her own experience and knowledge has been a breath of fresh air on a subject I have had difficulty getting to grips with it has changed my perception and I feel I have had a shift in my knowledge base as well as my experimental learning. No doubt in my mind I would recommend this course to everyone” (Sue)

“You make sure that no one is left out and everyone has an opportunity to interact. Your focus is not just on delivering the content but also on us connecting as a group and drawing from each other’s’ experiences. It feels like a safe space and it is very nice to meet people that are different, yet like-minded at the same time. I love the practicality of it though – the fact that we don’t just ingest material but that we can feel the direct impact of what we learn and that we share it with each other. It’s the perfect way of learning” (Anne)

“Lina leads the course with great authenticity, guided and inspired by her own experiences, wisdom and extensive knowledge. Her caring and compassionate nature has created a group dynamic based on openness, safety and trust without any fear of judgement. Covering this broad and complex topic, the course offers both an impressive quality and quantity of study material, delivered to optimise our own learning, reflection, growth and confidence. Analysing each Chakra provides a unique framework for questioning and understanding the self, and others, to support us in navigating the challenges of life. As a Yoga Teacher I remain a committed student to continuous learning with an open and enquiring mind, and look forward to further modules. I highly recommend Lina who delivers all her teachings with passion, integrity and thoughtfulness”.(Anne)

“Lina has created a unique and hugely valuable course based around her enormous wealth of experience, both personally and professionally. She has lifted the chakras out of yogic philosophy and symbology, to delve deeper into the practical aspects of the psyche in a relationship with one’s personal life force. All of which I have been able to use both positively and directly within my life. And I have found it refreshing to have the opportunity to undertake a BWY module that focuses on true personal growth and self-nourishment, over modules that are mainly focused on teacher training.” (Nicola)

“This course is a real eye-opener for anyone wanting to deepen their understanding of the Chakra system. Lina offers a variety of lens through which to view it ranging from traditional Tantra right through to modern psychoanalytical theory. It will challenge your expectations and pre-conceived ideas and take you on a journey of self-discovery and personal development” (Jacqui)

“Lina has managed to present the material in a clear and concise way. She has created an open, compassionate, and clearly boundaried learning environment, in which I feel secure, respected and able to fully take part in the group work.  Lina’s communication is very good, and the sessions are well managed, with presentations, exercises, practices, group work and time for discussion and answers. The wide-ranging perceptions, historical and contemporary models of the Chakras, and the perception and implications of the different models is refreshing. I think Lina’s wide-ranging life and work experience mean she is well able to present this culturally and historically broad ranging course on what the Chakras (energy systems). Understanding the Chakra energy system through Lina’s model shines a different light on how I perceive my relationship to Yoga.” (Jane)
