Testimonials

“Rebecca class in Portreath is a lovely welcoming class that promotes health and well-being for mixed abilities. Added benefits are building friendships and reducing isolation within the community. As a nurse working with very sick children, I find the class hugely beneficial for my emotional well-being and always leave feeling relaxed. The class also improves my flexibility and reduces my hip pain. Since moving to the village 10 years ago I have enjoyed attending yoga classes in St Mary's Hall and made lasting friendships”.

"I have been feeling anxious the last few weeks and after this class I feel like a weight has been lifted".

“…the class is important for the health and well-being of everyone involved and helps build a supportive community around the weekly session. As a teacher at the local college, I find the session helps me manage my stressful week while also building physical strength and resilience as I get older. This focus on physical well-being in a very local setting is so important to all of us”.

“I started yoga during a very difficult period of my life. I was completely burned out from my work in the emergency services and was suffering with severe anxiety. A family member recommended a class in Portreath, and I found the courage to go along. I quickly realised the benefits of yoga and started to experience improvements in my physical and mental well-being. Now I look forward to class every week, not only for the health benefits but also for the social aspect of seeing people I've got to know and having a chat. Whatever your troubles, yoga allows you to escape, even if only for a short while”.

“After working as a mechanic for well over 40 years, and taking part in various sports, my range of movement has become gradually restricted over the years. Since attending weekly yoga classes, in the church across the road from my garage, I have made great improvements in my flexibility, mobility and posture, meaning I can carry on working for many more years”.

“Unable to take part in high impact sports, yoga has been a wonderful way to help keep my mind and body fit and healthy. The class I attend is a lovely group of people, varying ages and abilities from across the parish, all coming together for our individual wellbeing in a community setting”.

“As a mother of 2 with a very busy family life, yoga for me on a Thursday evening is a bit of me time to unwind and concentrate on myself. I have very little movement in my left hip which can cause pain right down to my knee and ankle, but with Rebecca’s knowledge and guidance through the yoga moves, this has helped ease the problem. The benefit I feel every week after a class of stretching, calmness and community, gives me a real sense of well-being and resets me ready for the week ahead”.

“I am new to Yoga, but I have found it very interesting, learning about the body and how different stretches can encourage mental and physical well-being. In our hectic lifestyles with so many distractions, it’s important to take time for self-care, in a safe, welcoming and non judgmental environment”.
