What our clients say

 
 
“Thanks Sandra. I’ve really enjoyed the iRest course. There really does seem to be something about this yoga nidra / irest thing that makes a significant difference in how I feel. You have a wonderful demeanour that allows your own light to inspire your students to what you’ve got and therefore to what you do.”
“Sandra leads a wonderfully relaxing Restorative yoga and iRest class. Sandra’s monthly classes at the very well-respected Studio Red always sell out. I cannot recommend Sandra’s classes highly enough, she “walks the talk” and is truly authentic in the work that she does.”
“I unreservedly recommend Sandra’s Yoga Nidra (iRest) course. I absolutely loved it. Sandra is very ‘real’ and puts everyone at ease. Yoga nidra helped me at a very stressful time in my life and Sandra, herself, always has very wise counsel.”
“Sandra has a beautiful voice that guides you through gentle movement, breathing and meditation leaving you feeling completely relaxed and energised at the same time. Her warm and welcoming presence will make you feel at ease the moment you walk in the door.”

“The time will come

When, with elation,

You will greet yourself arriving

At your own door, in your own mirror,

And will smile at the other’s welcome”
