"There was indeed a great response from staff and participants last week during and after the workshop. The clients, without exception, participated enthusiastically and all reported they enjoyed the session. We found Ran to be particularly aware of everyone's capabilities and his enthusiastic approach inspired a few initially reticent clients to join in. In short, we felt he succeeded in facilitating one and all to achieve some goals in a very fun and stimulating environment. We look forward to future sessions with Banyan Creative!"

Corporate & Adult Groups
"Our company used the Jugglacise Programme when inducting new employees into our business. It got our people out of the classroom setting, provided warm up exercises, and an introduction to using more of the body/mind than we normally think is available to us. Most of all, it was fun! We got good feedback each and every time we used the Jugglacise programme. Rahn, the Jugglacise Trainer, is marvelous in his skill and ability to expand our own beliefs in what we can do."Vedama Barford APG Training Coordinator (Schlumberger Oilfield Australia)
