Words cannot express how Sharon has changed my life, she is an angel who has guided me through the trenches of hell and brought me back to life with light, and for that I will be forever grateful! I’ve met some wonderful people at Heaven on earth: the space, friends for life I’d say. Mindful Monday’s started soon after that and I can honestly say that it really helped me to realise that I’m not alone in my struggles, having a routine where you honour yourself each morning before you give yourself to work, family, life – whatever that is, you deserve to have that time to yourself, for yourself, and I can guarantee that when you have that routine you’ll start to feel better than you ever imagined. I signed up to a 10 class pass and booked out every Tuesday and Thursday evening in my diary so, that I didn’t miss any of Sharons yoga therapy classes.Ģ months later I began to ween myself off of my medication, feeling such amazing benefits from everything Sharon taught me and feeling ready to tackle things I’d avoided for so long, 8 weeks after I was off all my medication and feeling better for it.

These people were ‘normal’ no matching spandex etc, and I did really well – not just from what the others fed back to me afterwards, but I felt physically so much better, my back pain had eased from the fantastic stretching, my mind felt free and I couldn’t wait to attend the next session. This first session was nothing like I had imagined it to be, my preconceived idea of matching spandex clad posers who can wrap their legs around their own heads, while I’m panting in struggle at the back of the class trying not to fart. I was welcomed into the group by the lovely ladies and gents, who mentioned they had previously suffered with their backs, I felt like I fit in to the lovely group. As I began explaining my physical and mental pain to Sharon during massage, she encouraged me to stay for her yoga classes – which at first I didn’t have the confidence to, so I just had my massages every fortnight for a number of weeks.Įventually through Sharons reassurance that I’d be able to do the yoga and adapt it in any way if I was struggling with it, along with the fact it would help my back pain and channel my mind to a nicer place than it was, I plucked up the courage to stay one Tuesday night after my massage. Along with mentally going through the worst time of my life, battling depression and taking a cocktail of antidepressants & anti anxiety drugs, painkillers, nerve pain blockers, diazepam and sleeping tablets. This was at a time in my life where I had no confidence and was suffering with crippling back pain, due to an accident I had 2 years previous. I met sharon 10 months ago, initially for her massage therapies. It nourishes the heart and soul, educates us on a deeper level in order to help us grow as individuals. To meet each week with like-minded individuals for yoga, meditation, healthy cooking classes, eating the healthy food we’ve cooked together and an overall chat about how the week passed has been for each individual is something to look forward to. “Mindful Monday’s for me has been everything that I never knew I needed. You gave me tools to help me to deal with my mental issues over anxiety, that I will continue to use." Tracey Challinor You were also so good with the children, who really got involved and enjoyed the course. I highly recommend this course, and your fantastic teaching and counselling skills that made it an absolute pleasure. I thoroughly enjoyed the whole 8 week course. I felt like I was involved and my mind was taken off myself being home alone. Sitting on zoom for 2 hours every monday sharing yoga and doing great activities helped me no end. My anxiety levels had grown due to being more isolated and not being able to come to the space to do yoga and interact with like minded people. I was feeling lonely being alone at home and your Monday sessions gave me something to really look forward to. It helped me hugely over the 8 weeks I took part.

"I think it would be most beneficial for people who need your help with mental illness, for you to continue these Monday courses.
