Wanted a class that would support my recovery

SUE - SHERWOOD
I feel taller and calmer when I come out, ready to take on the world!
"I'm notoriously bad at sticking to routines and usually give up classes after a few weeks. It's a different story with Grainne's yoga and Pilates class though - I've been attending for a year now and have no intention of stopping. Grainne is such a gentle, patient teacher, she makes everybody feel included, and able - she always offers modifications to a pose if you find it's too hard for you. Both my mind and body value that peaceful hour in my week immensely. I feel taller and calmer when I come out, ready to take on the world!"
