Feedback from parents and children-
‘I went to the Mom and me mini retreat with my 6 year old daughter, I noticed for about 3 weeks after it she was really regulated & calm. It was like magic. Myself & her Dad are going through a separation, and she was struggling a bit with anger and staying calm with her siblings. I saw a real difference after the retreat & was able to recreate the different activities that Laura introduced us to, which has really been lovely & very helpful. I would recommend to all parents & their little ones, loads of fun was had too. The retreat was a birthday gift for her & she told me afterwards it was “the best birthday present ever”, which says it all!’

‘My daughter and I did a lovely Mom &Me Yoga half day with Laura. Laura was very warm and friendly and great at engaging the younger participants and teenagers as well as the Moms. There was wonderful variety throughout the three hours with a mix of energetic games, breathwork, imaginative activities and lovely playful interactive yoga between Mom and child! By the end of the session , I felt very connected with my daughter and very relaxed. Thank you Laura for a lovely session!’

Testimonials
“Laura Dowdall’s workshops were a central element in our recent, highly-successful ‘Wellbeing Week’.
Laura’s gift of effective communication, pupil-motivation and enjoyable presentation ensured a positive response from teachers and pupils.
Feedback indicated that many relaxing techniques were learned, which will help us all become more in tune with our bodies and deal with stress.
With the current national focus on wellbeing and the importance of teaching positive mental health strategies to children, these workshops are a timely and valuable resource to any school.”
Brianóg Brady Dawson Deputy Principal, Holy Trinity National School
“Laura is a highly skilled and much learned teacher and practitioner who invests great amounts of energy and warmth into her workshops. I know of no one who is so determined to spread the benefits of somatic yoga, and so passionate about what she does, which is equalled only by her supportive nature and wisdom. The lessons I have learned from her are incredible, and I highly recommend her to anyone seeking a balance of learning and enjoyment.”
