“The Mannaz coaching course was very well organized and structured, the teaching was of incredibly high quality and enjoyable in every possible way, as well as interactive and with plenty of time set aside for hands-on practice. The atmosphere was very professional yet friendly and intimate at the same time, making everyone at ease to experiment and ask questions.
