I've been attending Shweta's pilates class for over a year now once a week. I really like her teaching style - no two weeks are the same, and she always gives a few options for each exercise so that if you're not up for something massively challenging, you can choose something gentler. I see a massive improvement in my core strength - for example, I can easily stand still on one foot now with my other leg raised, instead of wobbling all over the place, and I also recently managed a full plank (personal best ;) ). As I work in IT, and have hit middle age, my back was starting to give me quite a bit of trouble. Shweta's classes have hugely helped me, especially as lockdown has meant I'm not working as ergonomically as I would be at work.

I have been attending Shweta's yoga classes for several years now and cannot recommend her enough, she has such a lovely, calm nature, just the sound of her voice brings me back to earth after a busy day at work! She welcomes newcomers to her classes with ease and encourages young and old alike. This year has had its challenges with the inability to attend classes in person but Shweta very quickly got to grips with technology and was able to offer her usual timetable online and this has worked really well. When the opportunity arises, I would definitely recommend Shweta's yoga Nidra session - total relaxation and absolute bliss :) If you're thinking of giving yoga a go ... don't hesitate, you won't regret it!

Shweta is an excellent teacher, her yoga classes are always enjoyable with options that cater for all abilities. Shweta's technical knowledge is excellent, but the ability to communicate complex instructions clearly and patiently is the what makes her classes so stimulating. Having only discovered yoga in my 40's, I have fewer aches and pains now than I did in my 20's!

Shweta's Yoga classes have been brilliant for me and Shirley. Before we started I woke up every day with lower back pain. Today I am pain free, and feeling so much more flexible and healthy. It has been really beneficial in my rock climbing too. Shirley has gained loads of flexibility and feeling much more healthy. Each session is inclusive and many options are given during the lessons. So glad Shweta managed to move to online during the lock downs and restrictions! Just awesome for our physical and mental health.

Shweta runs a lovely, friendly and welcoming class. It's a peaceful, relaxing and invigorating experience, delivered with an inner energy and focus. She always makes sure there are options to cover a full range of abilities. A super way to spend an hour.

I have done yoga nearly 20 years, in different countries, and Shweta’s yoga classes are some of the best I have taken. There is a clear flow to the class, with the different asanas explained and options given to go further or pare back. My favourite part is the relaxation, which in many cases is just an afterthought, but here Shweta’s calming voice and thoughtful guidance really takes it to another level. Many times I have left the class with Shweta feeling noticeably more grounded and relaxed than when I began. Shweta is also a lovely person, considerate and joyful, and you can tell she really lives her ethos of ‘karma yoga’ (yoga of service). I highly recommend her classes.

Love Shweta's classes - she always offers a number of options to make sure that each exercise suits your skill level, she ensures that you're always doing the right thing (gently correcting you if not) and is really friendly and welcoming. She's clearly an expert and makes it fun as well! Thanks Shweta.

I would not be doing yoga for 3-5 times a week if it weren't for Shweta. She is the most patient and knowledgeable teacher I have encountered so far! Even now when all we can do is Online classes (I actually prefer online - sometimes driving back home after the relaxation is a struggle), she manages to keep her classes energising and relaxing at the same time! I felt at ease at her class both when I was the absolute beginner who was doubtful about yoga and now when I have been doing it for almost a year.

Shweta's a brilliant teacher! I always enjoy her classes and feel so much better at the end of them - stretched and relaxed.

Shweta has been teaching me yoga and pilates for the last year and it's been amazing! Not only have I become more flexible and have less back ache but I feel great from a mental perspective, becoming more mindful and learning to stop and relax in this fast world. The only reason I've had to temporarily stop is because I'm having twins, but I'll be back next year. During my pregnancy, Shweta undertook training on how to teach yoga/pilates for pregnant women and advised me on what alternative movements I could do so I could still keep attending and prepare for birth - she has been amazing and would highly recommend her!

An incredible teacher - I have learnt so much from her and come away from her classes feeling physically, emotionally and spiritually so much better. Her classes are well varied with positional options for different individuals' needs. She's great at demonstrating and explaining what to do, and balances the level of feedback to ensure we are all confident in what we're doing without feeling singled out if we're having a bad day! For me, her classes have been a lifeline and a source of personal growth and resilience. Very grateful...

I look forward to my class with Shweta every week. Her yoga classes are the perfect blend of strength, stretch and relaxation. I always feel calm and relaxed at the end of the session. The perfect way to de-stress!

Shweta is a super teacher. These classes are perfect for a range of abilities and especially good if returning to yoga (like me) or worried about doing the positions correctly. It is a very welcoming atmosphere.

Very professional & motivational teacher. Pays close attention to all in her classes & gives individual tips to ensure correct positions, breathing etc. Started with Shweta to help manage lower back discomfort due to my running. Now enjoy her Yoga or Pilates a min of twice a week & have found this a success in terms of my back and general wellbeing.
