I work as a nurse and was given a very generous gift of a 1-2-1 session from a friend/colleague. Having already attended classes with sally and known sally for some time, I had no reservations what so ever and was eagerly awaiting my 1-2-1 session!

The setting was at my own home, so I felt at ease already. It was also my day off, so I was already more relaxed than usual! I wasn’t in the slightest bit anxious or nervous just excited.

During the session Sally gave me her undivided attention, she tailored it to my own needs, which for this session were relaxation and focus on my lower back (a problem area for me.)

Well…….. After the session I felt so relaxed. I felt completely spoilt and energised. Sally has such a wonderful feeling of calm and a real gift in the way that she teaches and instructs her yoga. The “Hands on” parts I especially enjoy and the relaxation towards the end of the session.

As I was at home for my session, what was also really great was the fact I was able to remain in my yoga gear for the rest of the day at home and continue to feel relaxed and chilled.

Sally is a natural teacher and has a truly special gift in bringing an air of calm and relaxation into the yoga class, whether individual or group classes.

I have recently retired from work,  I play tennis (badly) on a regular basis but for some time now I have been pulling muscles at the back of my thigh-there is obviously a weakness there. It does not give me much pain, but stops me from doing sports-so is more of an inconvenience than anything else.

I felt that the situation needed to be addressed, but was a little concerned about having “treatment” on such a “sensitive” area of my body. I had been using ibuprofen gel but not found it very effective.

Generally I think that I am in good health mentally and physically, but get very “fed up” when injured!

Sally seemed to recognise almost immediately the problem and at our initial consultation, (which was free!) we chatted about the appropriate stretching exercises required to lengthen the hamstring muscles at the back of my thigh, and also target other muscles around my groin area.

I have had three 1-2-1 sessions with Sally now, and things in that area of my body are definitely a lot stronger. She has also given me a print out of my personalised lesson plan which she has created, that takes me around 20 minutes to complete. I do this short workout at home 3 times a week, and so far so good!!

Sally has given me a lot more confidence by explaining and specifically treating the problem area. For this reason I will definitely be continuing my 1-2-1 sessions on a regular basis to support my home practice. Thank you so much Sally!

I’m a community nurse and suffer from problems with shoulders and knees. I’ve intermittently tried yoga over the last few years, but not continuously till this year. The 1-2-1 session was a gift from a friend.

I was already doing group classes with Sally and the setting fo our session was a friends flat which I was familiar with so felt mentally very happy with the planned 1-2-1. I was couldn’t have had it at my own home due to my dog!

My mood before class was quite stressed out due to work issues. I tend not to allow myself time to get to places but actually allowed extra time to arrive calm and get the full benefit of the session.

Duri8ng the session Sally showed my specific day-to-day exercises for my problem areas. She also brought some props with her to help support me to practice with my existing knee problems. As we went through the poses, (having asked me in our initial consultation before the session what I’d like to focus on) Sally showed me how to work through each pose more accurately than I previously could.

After the session I felt totally relaxed! The Thai massage at the end really helped with this. I found myself feeling quite emotional which surprised me. I felt really focused and energised, like I could totally conquer the world due to my “new” flexible body and inner calm.

Before coming to sessions and group classes with Sally I used to take antidepressants, now I no longer do. My work environment used to exacerbate back and shoulder problems but this is no longer an issue, due to the flexibility that the yoga provides and my knee pain has decreased too! For mental wellbeing I feel yoga is 110% the solution!

I would recommend Sally’s 1-2-1 sessions to any and everybody! Sally is very grounded and intuitive to your bodies needs.
