Testimonials for Jackie’s classes
Jackie’s yoga classes have been a necessary part of my well-being for several years now. I come out of every class feeling deeply relaxed, much more supple, and in a very positive mood. Jackie is good at explaining the movements we make to unite mind, body and soul.  Very inspirational indeed.
 ~ Kay Jones
I have known Jackie for a number of years and have attended both her brilliant yoga classes and 1-1 yoga therapy prior to having hip replacement surgery which following the operation the surgeon said had been of huge benefit in post surgery rehab. I now go to Tuesday morning yoga at Ellingham which I guard preciously as ‘My time’ as it sets me up wonderfully for the week !!
~ Nicky Gooding
“I have been attending Jackie’s yoga classes off and on for many years I love her relaxed style of taking classes and I am still surprised when Jackie teaches yet another move or sequence of moves that I haven’t done before. I can highly recommend anyone either new to yoga or wanting to try a new instructor to give Jackie’s classes a try – great for both mind and body.”
