What are students are saying…

“Although I meditate alone I do really enjoy joining the group meditations. I find the online environment really effective. Heather holds the space and gives clear instruction and it feels good to be connected to others in the class.

I really recommend joining the beginners course. Meditation is not mysterious, you don’t have to go and sit in a cave for years. You can sit in your special place in your home and benefit from Heather’s experience and skill in this highly accessible course. I couldn’t recommend it more highly.”

Fiona O’Neill 

‘As someone who has ummed and ahhed about meditation for a long while now, Heather’s course was a great introduction to meditation covering lots of different meditation techniques with helpful tips and content to access. As Heather included a variety of meditations, you can work out what suits you when you do decide to take your meditation seat that day. Really enjoyed it.’

I loved the meditation course. There was so much variety of different methods and information that was both practical and inspiring. I have learnt so much and also appreciated the class details/information sent on a weekly basis so I could read back and really absorb what we had learnt in the previous class. It was also great to share with others in a different ways online and on Zoom. I have had my eye on the meditation course for a while but haven’t been able to do it due to childcare. Ironically, lockdown has meant I can access more of your classes, both meditation and yoga! Thank you so much Heather for such a fantastic course and you and the other wonderful teachers have kept me sane through this challenging period.
