I immediately booked Sarga 102 after completing Sarga 101, thinking it would be the same material, only afterwards I found out it would be a combination of raised and floor work. This is not what I wanted but reassured myself I would be learning something anyway so I kept my reservation for the class. The teacher definitely knows the course material and all of the anatomy involved with it. What she lacks though is helping others understand how to effectively execute the moves. She has one way of explaining things, and when the students are confused it's met with condescension and repeating what she said even louder. I was often left feeling like I was an idiot and a fool, even though I am completely comfortable on the table doing Sarga. Class time was not used effectively in both 101 or 102. It always seemed rushed and we were then criticized for not learning or practicing quickly enough. If the teacher needs more time to teach, then add more days to the course. Rushing through everything makes it seem like it's all about the paycheck and not about effectively spreading Sarga knowledge. This teaching environment is impossible to truly learn in. We only had 2 days for 102 and I had the same partner the entire time. My partner had just finished 101 the week before and couldn't use the sarga silk effectively enough to balance on one foot on the table, which meant I only got to feel the moves when Amy came around and rushed through the sequence. Letting this student take 101 let alone 102 seemed like another money grab. When this student was doing the sacrum straddle move she was so wobbly I was afraid for my safety. I firmly believe students shouldn't be allowed to take 101 and 102 so close together. From experience I'm glad I had 6 months to gain confidence in the silk wrapping and footwork before taking on more advanced moves. Further issues with my partner were that they couldn't handle even firm pressure when I was practicing. They were constantly squirming on the table to get comfortable, making it impossible for me to practice the moves as well. I would have loved to have swapped out partners at least once. When I was doing my certification I was encouraged to have as many kinds of bodies under my feet as possible, to then in class be stuck to one person for 14 hours was counterintuitive. This also limited what I could do and the feedback I could receive. Thanks for taking these notes into consideration. Thanks Mary

Amy was a great teacher. Although the course was very challenging both physically and mentally, she communicated the techniques in a clear and concise way. I highly recommend

Amy works hard to help workshop participants understand, feel, and learn Sarga Bodywork techniques. Amy provided a comfortable and “safe space” environment where she always took the time to work with each participant individually and to meet them at their own abilities/experience to better improve their learning. Couldn’t ask for more, thank you Amy!
