Student feedback


‘Even on a wet and grey day this place is full of light and warmth... created by the people as much as the space. Such a welcoming atmosphere where you are encouraged to tune in to what you need and leave feeling more connected and grounded. If you’re like me and worry about not being ‘good enough’ to try yoga/meditation then this space will dissolve those fears and allow you to explore this at your own pace and in your own way.’
