What clients say about our service

I feel relaxed and calm after a yoga class. Mandy is easy to talk to and always makes the class fun as well as challenging. I love aerial yoga, took me out of my comfort zone and I look forward to every class. I hadn't done any exercise for about 15 years, Mandy's classes have given me to confidence to also join a small gym where I'm now doing weight training. At 66 years old I wouldn't have had the confidence to do this if I hadn't attended these yoga classes

Julie aged 66

I have been battling cancer for a few years now. I believe 100% yoga with Mandy has given me some of my life back. My physical mobility & balance has improved massively

Anon aged 50-69

The sessions facilitated here are helping me deal with a very difficult period in my life and I’m very grateful for them.

Nat aged 30-49

Mandy offers teaching in a relaxed friendly and professional way. The participants are so sociable and we chat over tea . It’s amazing how many of the class members are in a similar position and makes one realise you’re not “ the only one” working through what life offers

Susan aged 70+

I suffer from chronic pain and find the sessions so healing and restorative. The space Mandy has created is special. Where people are made to feel comfortable and safe.
