Comments about BSY reflexology course and Yoga courses…

Whether you’re interested in a reflexology course, yoga course, or other home study courses, it can be useful to read the opinions of those who have taken a similar path.  We have received feedback from two of our family of students who have chosen to study with us and thought it would help to share their opinions with you.

Paula Smith has chosen to enrol on the pre- and post-natal Yoga teacher course.  She decided on this Yoga course as she is ‘already a Yoga teacher, qualified through BSY.  I have taught a number of pregnant students and thought that they would benefit more from a course specifically geared to their needs.’  Paula chose to study with BSY as ‘it lets me study to my own timetable, of great benefit when working.  Also the tutors are only a phone call away.  Payment in instalments is also a bonus!’  Thinking about her pre- and post-natal Yoga course, Paula felt it may help her to ‘practice Yoga for pre- and post-natal students, with confidence and a comprehensive knowledge of their needs and abilities’.  Paula’s advice to others is that ‘I would thoroughly recommend studying with BSY.  All of my courses have been extremely informative and enjoyable to do.  I can honestly say that studying with BSY has changed my life.  I am now offering several Yoga classes a week and am able to offer Yoga therapy to students who need individual attention.’

Elizabeth Biggs decided to take the BSY reflexology course.  She chose this course after ‘having read into reflexology I found an interest.  During my late husband’s illness I found that rubbing certain parts of his feet relieved the pain.’  Elizabeth explained that she decided to study her reflexology course with BSY as ‘I went on the internet and your college came up… After reading about you, I decided that you would be my choice.’  Thinking about her reflexology course, she has been most happy with ‘…the knowledge that I have gained and, after my final exam and practical, hope to put into practice.’  In the future, the course may help Elizabeth to ‘be able to reduce my hours in my present job as it involves a lot of travelling, and combine it with reflexology’.  The advice Elizabeth would give to those thinking of studying with BSY is to ‘go for it.  When I first called you I received all the help I could have asked for – and any problems you dealt with them immediately in a very helpful manner.  And you also have a large choice of courses to choose from.’ You can learn more about our reflexology course or Yoga course by calling our course advisors on Freephone 0800 731 9271 or 01409 220 400.
