"As soon as I come in, I feel calm. It's like a spell. So relaxing. And it's not just the yoga, it's the whole feeling of the place and of the people around you.
I'm eighty years old and I never imagined I'd find something like this. Friendships have grown here that I really treasure. I absolutely love coming."

"I was in a really dark place when I found Kathy. I heard her on the phone and something in her voice made me think, I need that.
I live with Ehlers-Danlos syndrome, POTS, and I've been through sepsis and cancer. I carry a family history of suicide, and I came to this work partly for myself and partly because I wanted to do things differently for my son. Kathy didn't know any of that when I walked in. But somehow she just knew what I needed.
This is the first time since my mum passed away in my twenties that I feel at peace. I don't cry every day anymore. I'm not frightened of dying. I've found my voice and I stand up for what's right now, and I've walked away from things that weren't good for me, which I'd never done before.
I took a break once from coming class but I could feel myself going back to old habits. I knew I needed this weekly class more than I thought.
Kathy teaches you about your mind and your nervous system in a way that actually makes sense. And she does it while being completely honest about her own life, which makes you feel safe enough to be honest about yours.
I cannot believe she just came into my life."

"I came because I wanted a good yoga practice. I didn't realise how much more I was going to find. I thought yoga was about a good stretch but instead I found so much more.
I used to struggle with panic attacks and when stressful things happened, I would go into complete panic. Now I no longer feel so concerned about that, because I know I can take control of it in a really kind and calm way. I always knew to breathe deeply but it never really worked before. Now I believe it works because I have built a sense of trust and understanding through the teachings Kathy has taught.
My life has become so much quieter. I cope with things so differently now. Kathy teaches you about your own mind, and once you understand it a little better, you can work with it instead of against it."

"I couldn't leave the house. The pain from fibromyalgia had made my world very small. Coming to that first class was genuinely hard. I feel like my new self, back on my bike and doing things I love like looking after my grandchildren. My brain isn't running like a crazy thing anymore.
I've learned to be so much kinder to myself, which I didn't expect from yoga. I thought yoga was just movement. But Kathy teaches you how your mind works, and how to be gentle with yourself, and somehow that changes everything.
I have my personality back. I've found my voice. I'm okay in a way I haven't been for a very long time."
Linda, 2026
“I have been practicing Yoga for nearly a year and it has been a real positive in my life. Kathy really is an incredible person and teacher, the other students have been great too. The classes vary each week and Kathy is often responsive to the mood of the class and adapts the sessions to suit. I have found that I use some practices in day to day life, especially the various breathing practices which help to deal with stress.”

“Kathy is a wise and very generous teacher. She knows a great deal about many areas. She is amazing at finding ways of conveying tricky and abstract areas to the class. She is wonderful with people; empathetic, grounded and wise. The environment she creates is welcoming and very accepting and I feel I really can relax and ‘open up’ there. Kathy’s honesty and acceptance of others is a big part of why students can get so much out of what she is teaching us.”
