Here’s what people say about Geeta’s workshops:
I attended a green products workshop hosted by Geeta Nadkarni at the Naada yoga studio. I felt I was in the room with a trusted friend, as I have heard Geeta forecast the weather on CBC television and heard her speak of green living on CBC radio. Although I had never met her in person, Geeta soon made us all feel right at home. She explained that she loves interaction from the participants in her workshops and that she wanted us to ask questions and challenge her viewpoints. Her teaching style emphasized getting us involved. Here is an example: when she showed us how to make a fragrant, inexpensive body polish, Geeta had one participant measure out the ingredients and, later, another stirred up everything until it was the proper consistency. All along the way, Geeta let us touch the raw materials, smell the fragrant oils and see how everything fit together. I have been a teacher for 33 years and this is precisely the way to engage people – use all the senses and let everyone be involved! And we were.
As the workshop progressed, we heard how to use homemade exfoliants, polishes and moisturizers. We made each of these under Geeta’s skilled eyes. There was enough of each of the products we made for all of us to bring home samples. Geeta provided the recipes for us to make our own at home and gave us suggestions as to where to buy the raw ingredients like cocoa butter, beeswax and essential oils.
All in all, I have to say that the time I spent at the workshop was very well spent. I learned a lot and had fun doing it.
