β€œ Thank you Rhi. One week of yoga classes under my belt and I'm a little disappointed I don't have to get up for one tomorrow hehe. 

I am really enjoying the classes, and loving the traditional aspects too, fits so well for me.  I'm so grateful you encouraged me to step onto the mat for the first time, thank you πŸ™β€ - Kay

β€œ Meals got a 10/10 from everyone πŸ‘Œ Really enjoyed all the food. Keen to keep it going!” - Jane

β€œHi Rhi,

You probably don't know what a difference you have made to my life. You have given me hope, confidence and self belief when it comes to restoring my wellbeing and recommencing the start of a fitness regime. Back problems can be so debilitating with constant chronic pain that it tends to rule your life. I was so hesitant but so glad that the universe guided me to you and your beginners course.

You are an amazing teacher and it was a joy to be in your presence and the way you encouraged and varied the poses to suit everyone made it so tailored. A month ago, who would have thought I would be now buying my own yoga mat! It was such a lovely and supportive group, as well.

Thank you and see you back on the mat real soon! β€œ - Jennie
