The depth of knowledge provided on the course was brilliant and it really helped me make sense of the reasons why we behave in certain ways. I would highly recommend this course to anyone, you will not be disappointed." Sarah, Physiotherapist
"The 8 week mindfulness course was well-structured and Chris explained mindfulness at a comprehensive level of understanding, making it easier to absorb. I felt he managed the group very well keeping with a high level of authenticity and engagement. I feel more contacted with tutors when they as impassioned about their subject. I responded with the pace Chris kept at within the group, there was no time I felt rushed. Regardless of one’s level of knowledge of Mindfulness; I would highly recommend this course to anyone interested". David,
"Chris’s passion for mindfulness transpires through his teaching and this contributes to create an experience that is both authentic and transformative. His knowledge, warmth and compassionate attitude supported me and the group through our learning in a way that was encouraging. Through the 8 weeks, I acquired a deeper sense of awareness about the connection between myself, my body and the surrounding space. Chris also provided a plethora of informative material that can be accessed even after the course has ended. Overall, the course is excellent value for money and I would highly recommend this course to anyone who wishes to gain or deepen mindfulness skills". Annalisa,
"I would highly recommend to everyone! The course was well structured and thought-out. It built and progressed each week with very manageable supplementary reading and practises each week which were great to keep me on track between sessions and to use once the course ended. With a mix of teaching styles including visuals, discussions, practises, breakout rooms, life examples; the hour each week was very informative and flew by! Very good value for money and life-long lessons!, Lucy, Physiotherapist
