Such an amazing session and I feel I build on previous sessions every time I attend. I am more resilient and calmer after each session. I experienced a necessary reset and was reminded of how it feels to be relaxed.
This course has a positive effect on my mental health and wellbeing. It provides additional skills for stress and reduction.
Calm-being around people like me. Nice to be able to talk and understood what other people are going through. I liked connecting with people and having an experience I never had in my life. It’s my first nature therapy.
Meeting people with the same sort of issues, being able to discuss with them with no judgement as the understanding is there/mutual. Builds a feeling of not being alone with everything.
I enjoying coming along to the yoga class, feel on top of the world when I leave. Priya takes the class so well, makes me feel well relaxed, I enjoy my session of yoga.
This class is a lifeline for me as I need the motivation of being in a class to practise yoga. Excellent class.
I look forward to this class every week, it helps get me out and meeting everyone.
This is an excellent class! I have enjoyed the opportunity to speak to fellow participants as part of this term’s sessions. Weekly tips and topics that tie in with the sessions are very helpful.
Just love my Monday sessions – a great start to my week. I would be lost without it. I am very grateful, for your services and for the positive impact on my mental health and overall wellbeing.
I particularly liked the 5 attributes. Of meditation and non-striving, curiosity etc. Shirley is a fantastic teacher, and I really appreciate Craigsfarm putting on these classes especially at no cost.
Relaxed, feel good after the class
This class is a perfect way for me to start the week, it gives me the opportunity to learn new practise which I can then do at home over the course of the week.
This class has help me in going forward even when it is difficult. A great class helping to lift me up.
I have learned more about myself and ADHD/Autism that has made me understand myself more along with how to regulate myself.
Meeting other group members has helped me feel less isolated. I have found a community where I feel safe, understood and where I can be myself. The facilitators have helped by providing exercises/opportunities to self-reflect, work in small groups, explore topics, learn from each other.
This group has given me a safe space to be in, which has given me hope for the future. I feel less alone in my struggles and the company of fellow humans who get it has been incredibly helpful and comforting.
For the first time I am in a group who share the same attributes and obstacles. It has been a very safe place to be, and I believe we would all benefit from it.
This group has genuinely had a positive impact on my life. The sense of community is invaluable
I am feeling calmer and more confident after attending the programme,
Craigsfarm has been a lifeline for me. I no longer feel alone with my problems.
