"Ha sido un curso muy intensivo, con mucha práctica, reflexiones compartidas y con mucho feedback entre nosotros y con “sensei”, clases y prácticas muy bien planteadas y enfocadas a coger tablas, dominar los contenidos y perder el miedo a ponernos delante de una clase, toda una obra maestra de enseñanza, mi enhorabuena a Dharmakirti y Ádolf por el trabajo realizado para elaborar unos cursos tan profesionales y por ese trato tan humano y amable en todo momento. Por mi parte muy contento, muy motivado y decidido a seguir profundizando en este camino sin fin…" Pablo, participante de la Fase III, diciembre 2013
"As for the retreat it was a wonderful way of putting into practice once again the teachings, but this time supported by the energy of the group and surrounded by the beauty and peace of the Valencian mountains. I'm very grateful to Dharmakirti, Vidyamala and the whole Respiravida Breathworks team for creating this program and supporting the students in every step of the path." Lauren, Fase I, junio 2013
"A golden opportunity! ... the week's training retreat as the most intensive experience so far. Here, the emphasis, as well as deepening our personal practice of mindfulness, was on considering and practising ways of communicating mindfulness to others as future teachers of the RespiraVida Breathworks approach. This involved enhancing skills of all kinds and took place in a warm, supportive atmosphere which encouraged valuable peer feedback on short periods of practice. It was an international group, too, which opened up many new perspectives on communication. Phase II also enabled me to understand better the overall aims of RespiraVida Breathworks and the shared vision and values underpinning the methods used on the programme – vision and values to be passed on to those we eventually will come to teach.
The week's retreat was well-planned and organised, with a balanced programme including presentations, revision, discussion, reflection and plenty of practice. I came away with a strong sense of the solidity and sustainability of the RespiraVida Breathworks approach as well as a firmer feeling for the integration between my personal mindfulness practice and the skills needed to pass this on effectively in teaching the programme. I'm very much looking forward to the final training retreat in Phase III (tt3), and feel enormously grateful to those in RespiraVida Breathworks who have spent so much time, energy and thought in planning and running the programme."
