I took many classes and workshops with Savitri-Devi, and the common denominators in all of them were the vast knowledge, innumerable practical tips, and most of all the continuous joyfulness and laughter she transmitted with her teaching.
I deeply enjoyed every aspect of Beata’s teachings, but perhaps what surprised me the most was how very much more I could learn from her Yoga Classes in spite of long years of experience I too had…. She taught me so many variations of the classical postures that I feel now equipped to handle students of all sizes and abilities and progress in all directions in my own practice.
And yes, she also thought us, at her “Reveal Your Blessings” workshop, to appreciate and revere the many blessings which come daily, even with misleading appearances. A major blessing for me was meeting SAVITRI-DEVI!

I just completed the Yoga for Osteoporosis Teacher Training Course. The course was much more than I expected. The instructor, Beata Barnard (Sevitri Devi), provided excellent handouts, course materials and power point, along with a wealth of experience and knowledge and provided hands on practice in the clinical sessions. This course leaves me positive and optimistic, that as a yoga teacher I can make an in-pack in helping clients with Osteoporosis at all stages.

I took the course "Yoga for healthy bones -osteoporosis prevention and treatment" with Beata Barnard. The course was more than excellent! I learnt how bones and joints function and the different tools to strengthen and stimulate them. I also learnt how to balance my diet and my work-life schedule. This course has been a tremendous help for me, I'm practicing my adapted asanas every day and I'm very optimistic that I'm having positive results. In addition to this, Beata is a very warm-hearted person and it comes through her teaching.
