Shweta is a fabulous yoga and Pilates guru! Her instructions are always encouraging and guiding to push me to my limits. She demonstrates the exercises such that we have a clear idea of what needs to be done. I have improved a lot by attending her classes both in terms of my flexibility, core strength and clamming of the mind. I have thoroughly enjoyed her sessions and would highly recommend her!

Shweta is a real treasure! ✨ She is humble, supportive and always ensuring her classes are the best. Her voice is her soothing and she guides gently. I truly believe that she has found her gift and is sharing it with the world. 💝 Before I met her, I was nervous about yoga. That all changed, once I started her classes. Yoga for me has become something that not only provides me with inner peace but helps me to deepen my relationship with myself. In this busy and modern world, it’s difficult to disconnect to connect with yourself. I also attended a workshop which she organised which was brilliant. She makes you feel at ease. I’m grateful that I found her. She represents exactly what yoga is all about. If you are around her you can feel her positive energy. I cannot recommend her enough. I look forward to get classes so much.

I (Rani) have been attending Shweta's weekly yoga classes for over a year now. She is an excellent teacher who is very knowledgeable and passionate about yoga. This is shown in the way she guides through the physical and spiritual aspects which makes her classes enjoyable. No two weeks are the same and she always makes sure there are options to cover a full range of abilities with perfect blend of strength, stretch and relaxation. I see a massive improvement in my core strength and flexibility. I recently attended one of Shweta’s Yoga Workshops - great introduction and practice of yoga covering breathwork, meditation etc. My favourite part was the super relaxing finish at the end - "Yoga Nidra". Shweta’s calming voice and thoughtful guidance really takes it to another level. I left the 3 hours workshop feeling noticeably more grounded and relaxed than when I began. I highly recommend Shweta’s classes and workshops.

Shweta is a wonderful yoga and Pilates teacher. Her classes are good for all levels from beginner to more advanced, she encourages that you listen to your own body and week by week I can feel improvement in my strength, balance and focus. Shweta classes have helped me finder a deeper connection with my yoga practice, I’ve been to a lot of different teachers in my life but this beautiful lady is my guru 🙏🏻. I recently went to one of her workshops which I highly recommend if you want to explore Yoga more fully, exploring meditation and yoga nidra deep relaxation.

In september 2021, I started attending Shweta’s Pilates classes. She is an incredibly inspirational and motivational teacher and she convinced me (as a complete beginner!) to also join her yoga classes. She encourages, challenges and supports all levels and gives really useful tips throughout the classes. Each session helps me to achieve more….. she’s a fabulous teacher and I would have no qualms about recommending her to anyone!

Loved the Pilates workshop, 3 hours went very quickly. Great introduction to Yoga, clearly a passion of `Shweta’s. Yoga Nidra a super relaxing finish.

Shweta is the most wonderful yoga teacher. She really knows her stuff and is the perfect guide through the physical and spiritual aspects. I come out of her classes feeling so good! I recently attended one of her workshops and the 3 hours flew by. Thoroughly recommend!!

Shweta is an amazing teacher. I do Yoga and find her classes just right for mixed abilities which can be so hard to deliver but Shweta makes it seemless. Plus the level of knowledge about the history of Yoga (and there is a lot of history) is something that I love and Shweta brings that to life. She also has the most calming voice ever you really must try her Yoga Nidra sessions.

This 3 hour yoga workshop was done in a lovely airy room with lots of space. It was also well attended by yogi lovers. Shweta took us through the origins of yoga referencing the Bhagavad-Gita and the ancient practice of yoga, there followed various asanas, prayanama and meditation, culminating in a relaxing and grounding experience. Sweta is very knowledgeable and passionate about yoga and her yogis ; this is clearly shown in the way she connects with everyone in the room by their name and their individual abilities. Thank you too Shweta for the refreshing herbal tea and cardamon cake!

Shweta is a great yoga and Pilates teacher, with a very calm and soothing presence. Her half day yoga workshops are really informative and helps to deepen the understanding and practice of yoga. She has a great understanding of you can/can’t do if you have an injury and always offers options to make sure everyone in her classes gets the most out of the experience. Really enjoy it!

I've attended Shweta's classes and workshops over the last 12 months and have really enjoyed, and benefitted from Shweta's relaxed, yet professional style. I am amazed at how much warm and connection can still be felt via a screen! Shweta is an amazing person who really knows her stuff along with a genuine care for every individual she comes into contact with. I thoroughly recommend.

I joined these classes online during the first lockdown. I'm very impressed with how knowledgeable Shweta is and how she can keep an eye on us and correct us online. Thoroughly recommend.

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.
