Due to personal circumstances before, during and after Pandemic Lockdown, my health and financial means have not been optimum. The determination and faith that lead me to the Free Yoga site, leave me forever grateful for its ethos of ‘inclusion for all, and when there is the opportunity for reciprocity, I shall not hesitate. Ranjanaben has been the teacher enabling my participation and the teaching received, has been contributory to preparing my body and mind with the core strengths, flexibility and peace needed (throughout that time and since). This in turn has and will, enable me to endure. There is not enough wealth in the universe to repay the value of her time and the free service provided. Additionally, I take this opportunity to pass on my gratitude to Sunilbhai for the platform and his whole team who are invaluable to humanity. Blessed to be a student, I always look forward to class with 'First day at school enthusiasm' ☺️.

Since day 1 of joining yoga, as a complete thebeginner classes have been great and suitable for all levels. All the instructors are great-very experienced and very knowledgeable. They make everyone feel at ease and comfortable and if you need more explanation or help, they provide clear 1-1 guidance. They encourage you and motivate you to do your best. The instructors all have slightly different styles, but ALL give a great workout 🙏🏼🥰 it's great to see their flexibility, and although I have a VERY long way to go, I'm definitely feeling the positive difference this is making in my life and would thoroughly recommend to everyone. Thank you for the opportunity and the benefits of Yoga, through your teachings.🙏😍💝

As a newcomer to Yoga, I have now been attending the Yoga classes run by these amazing volunteers for the past 5 weeks. The volunteers have given their own time to teach yoga and are very enthusiastic and passionate about what they do. Every class so far has been well prepared and I have really enjoyed the sessions . I highly recommend for anyone to try out these yoga classes. I only wish I had discovered Essence a long time ago. Well done to all the great teachers of Yoga and thank you for giving the opportunity to people like me to participate in Yoga and feel the benefits of it.

I discovered the Free Yoga classes a few years ago now and have been going religiously every Saturday morning! I feel like the yoga teachers and yoga classes provided are unique, there are no gimmicks, and they really go above and beyond with the extensive research they do to share with the class and educate us. There are a few classes per week and incredibly yes they are free, apart form a £2 donation for the hire of the hall! I felt comfortable and ‘accepted’ from the first day and now can’t imagine life without these sessions! It’s helped me mentally and physically, beyond any expectations I had, to be honest! Thank you so much to the whole team, you’re truly amazing people! Can’t wait to see you all soon ♥️

I have been attending pranayama and yoga classes for the last 6 months or so and i have found them really helpful especially in the current times when our lives have changed due to Covid. Since starting these sessions, both my physical and mental health have improved, I feel more positive and feel that I am able to tackle any stress lot better now. I have more energy now and aches and pains have improved so much. All the teachers are very professional and selfless devoting their time helping so many of us. I can’t thank them enough for their dedication and hope that these online sessions continue even after we get some sort of normality in our lives. Sunita Sharma

I found the yoga classes to bee life changing and extremely beneficial to overall personal health. The teachers are professional, understanding and kind.. Really would love to attend face to face classes again soon but the zoom option is so beneficial during this current time. Louise Edwards

Since I have joined the yoga classes, my health has improved. All the instructors take great care and give health warning taking time to explain and correct posture. Specially has helped a great deal during this time of Covid. I want to say a big thank you to all the instructors.

These classes help me tremendously with my knee and back pain which avoids me taking medication. The venue is always so clean, warm and well organised and the yoga teachers are excellent, so helpful and knowledgeable. Everything is clearly explained so we know why we are doing each exercise.

I wanted to be more flexible, gain core strength, and improve my overall health. I took many different types of classes and this yoga class is AMAZING!! You have a way of delivering your style of teaching where I feel I'm progressing and not thinking “AM I DOING THIS RIGHT?” After 2 hours I leave with my body opened, my spirit uplifted, and my mind de-stressed. This class is part of my weekly ritual. I look forward to it each week. Wouldn't miss it for anything. Thank you for helping me transform physically, mentally and emotionally and sharing it with the world around you. Kushlani

The teachers are so warm & always welcoming. Their knowledge is outstanding. Thank you for your continuous support to our community.

I have recently started Yoga Classes. I find by attending these classes one feels very calm and energetic. Brother Sunil Gosai’s method of explaining postures is very good.

I have been attending theses classes for approximately 2 years now, they are amazing, giving a truly authentic experience of Hatha yoga. The Pranayama I have learned while attending these classes has been life changing. Since being in lockdown the online classes have proven to be a vital part of keeping me well both mentally and physically. The teachers are extremely experienced and get to know us students, making it a much more personal experience. Their commitment to providing regular and free classes is outstanding and admirable.... I am so grateful.

I have been coming to the free yoga adult classes for a few months now. I can honestly say that it really has changed my mind and body. I am so truly grateful to everyone involved for creating such a beautiful environment to practice yoga and meditation. The instructors are all fantastic and I look forward to my sessions each week. This is an amazing thing for the community also and a beautiful energy is always felt when so many people come together and share such a beautiful experience. Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!
