"I started this Mindfulness course in Summer 2020 when we were easing out of the first covid lockdown and was feeling anxious to mix with people again. The course taught me to enjoy taking time out for myself to meditate, to focus on my breathing and enjoy the moment, whether it was sitting in the garden listening to birds, eating and doing chores mindfully, practicing the mindfulness of movement and visual meditations. My teacher Emma was patient, listened to my thoughts and feelings and gave me constructive feedback each week to continue with the next stage of the course. My life has benefited from learning to meditate and I feel much calmer coming out of further lockdowns"
