Testimonials

“Laura Yates, Founder and CEO of The Dance of the Hummingbird, and her two-part mindfulness course quickly became my mid-week escape from reality. Laura is kind, warm and knowledgeable and kept me engaged and accountable throughout the entire course. She has inspired me to continuously challenge myself to become a better version of who I am every day. The course itself is filled with science and facts, as well as incredible stories of her own journey to becoming more mindful as well. She is realistic and understanding and always manages to explain the content in a consumable way. I feel blessed to have found Laura, to have gone through my mindful journey with her, and I cannot recommend both the Foundations and Intermediate Mindfulness courses enough!” - Phoebe

“Laura did a session on enhancing creativity in the workplace with our company. Laura is an energizer. I really enjoyed how she had us engaged with conversations on our wellbeing as well as activities that got us excited to go through each day. Laura is very friendly and down to earth. Really enjoyed working with her.” - Naiki

“I experienced my first cacao ceremony last week and luckily for me I experienced it with the lovely Laura. I didn’t know what to expect but I did have visions of feeling awkward about sharing feelings within a group and then dancing in a small group setting.

However, nothing about the experience was awkward at all! Laura put us at ease immediately and made the space feel extremely safe. There was absolutely no pressure to take part in anything, just a little encouragement to embrace the evening. Laura balanced the evening so well, giving a good amount of information, movement in the form of dance, meditation and relaxation, oracle cards, shares and of course an amazingly tasty cup of cacao.

I left with a full heart and a feeling of connection. I will definitely be back!” - A.

“Laura’s mindfulness course was in such synchronicity it was magical! She gets people on a whole new level and keeps on pushing exactly where one needs it. A lot of stuff came up and she made me realize it’s ok. And it’s normal to be distracted and also to get an awareness of how much distraction there is as I was getting more mindful of my life and its surroundings. An absolute game changer! Very grateful. I just “happened” to be in one of Lau’s yoga classes and I immediately had this feeling of belonging. They were always the highlights of my week as I could just be and let go. A healthy balance of guided practice and also room for play and growth. A safe and happy place.” - Marina

“Mindfulness has helped me so much. I find myself drifting off, making up stories in my head, playing out different scenarios etc and then I catch myself and am mindful of where I am now. I start to breathe and just follow the breath. Its almost grounding. I just lay in bed breathe and fall asleep. While working I’m mindful. I feel like these days I’m not wasting my time and energy focusing on things that have no already happened. Thank you so much for this strong reminder of mindfulness. And for teaching me to breathe.” - Vasantha

“Laura has this amazing voice! She not only teaches mindfulness but also lives it. Wonderful breath meditations and body scans. I sometimes really struggle to calm down and meditate but with her beautiful words and music she immediately brings me into another state of calmness. It is an absolute feel good and mindful way to begin or end your day or do it whenever it feels right. Great work Laura! Thank you!” - Katja

“I met Laura in 1993, high school, Midlands, South Africa. Fast forward 2020…I for sure can call it a breakthrough of the year…many many lows, gutter lows! For me, the past 20 years have been 2020 year after year…for 20 years! Ironically… this 2020, has been the year I’ve been most “alive”, most thankful, most afraid, most aware and I wasn’t going down the same road of a year again. I became intrigued at how Laura had transformed her life over the years, followed her travels all over the world…but my biggest wow was her spiritual journey. When you mindfully exist… really live mindfully, immerse your being into living mindfully in every aspect of your life… it’s core deep… I will always remember to be gentle with myself. Thanks Lau… you are amazing!” - Bonnie

“I have known Laura for… years now, and I am so pleased that she has committed all her time and efforts to teaching mindfulness. I feel truly fortunate to have Laura as a friend and as a mindfulness coach. Her patience, calm demeanor and profound teachings have been an enormous benefit to me as I am sure her years of study, experience and travel will be to everyone else.” - Cheryl
