＜2011 Januari Workshop Dance Miracles" Sanctuary"＞
You offered a wonderful workshop. The workshop was very deep and I also went very deep myself. It was good for me. I felt very strong mentally whole week. It's very special what you can achieve through the way you teach.
Sahaja, thank you very much and I hope I can keep on dancing with you for many years!

It is always special to dance with the group at your lessons, you always guide us lovingly and carefully into our bodies and we can discover so much by letting go and letting the body lead to where it needs to go. Dancing with you has given me much more freedom to express myself and to trust life processes as they unfold. Thank you and I look forward to dancing with you again and again.
<workshop " Happy body, Pain Body " 2010 March >
Thank you for leading our journey through the miracles of happy body, pain body. I was amazed to discover how much the atoms of my body know and how much they have already experienced, as I experienced myself as a continuation of so many miracle processes, both happy and painful. My body is shining like a bright star now and I know that whatever happiness or pain may occur in my life, there is always support.

Sahaja taught great lessons 5 Rhythms. I was looking forward every week to let my body dance. The body parts at the start of every lesson were so relaxing, that I had to yawn. Than was I ready to go into the Wave. She always played nice music to go into it.
She changed the group into a tribe in a very subtle way. So we felt very comfortable, like we were a family. One time in the chaos I didn’t know anymore which dance my body did and which dance was done by the bodies around me. Was this the ‘Buddha Field’ Sahaja mentioned?
The lyrical stage was always a party, with lots of humour and laughing.
I remember a special moment during the silent stage. I was dancing with another participant. We were dancing with our hands and felt very close. It felt like there was energy between us. Unfortunately it didn’t last long, because we had to continue to do another dance.
Words, which came up after the lesson, were ‘great’ and ‘magic’.

Sahaja, you are so enthusiastic and positive during your lessons. This makes me feel safe during your teaching. You’re able to teach in a subtle way, so I can go deeper inside myself. Because of the variation in your music, I could give myself fully and I enjoyed very much. Music makes you joyful, or sad and I could let go of the pain.

What I experienced during your lessons, was that I had more contact with my body. Away from my head. More in peace with myself and more in balance with here and now. You created a very nice and safe atmosphere: ‘you can’t do anything wrong’ and ‘don’t beat yourself’. With many nice and warm people around me, I could cry and laugh lots.

I danced with you the 5 Rhythms for the first time and I experienced how free dancing can be. After years of dancing lessons (which I enjoyed very much) I liked it very much to express myself fully through movements. Without instructions and without rules, but just what you feel. The advantage of dancing is that there is no much room for talking, so I can stay with myself. I found you as a teacher very inspiring, because you have your own way of communication and your own way of expressing yourself, with language and body. This gives others also lots of freedom to express themselves. Your exercises were often creative and playful.
What I liked most, is what you said during the lesson. I remember you said: ‘Welcome yourself in this space’. That was for me a big eye-opener. Also sentences like: ‘Don’t change anything, if your breathing is superficial, it’s all right’. For me this took away the pressure to be perfect. To accept yourself and your movement at that moment, and your emotions, was very relaxing and respectful. I want to thank you for these kind of things! I wish you lots of luck and I hope will see again in the future!
