Testimonials
Despite being with the children for one term, Mrs Sweeney took the time to get to know them all as individuals; she listened to them and was interested in what they were sharing with her.
She has great control of the class in a gentle and positive way, creating the calm and enabling the attention needed for the sessions, she is extremely patient and kind to the girls and explained and demonstrated the poses explicitly for the girls to follow.
Each session was varied and extremely engaging and interactive for the girls, for example she did an under the sea session and named the poses after sea creatures, but also involved the girls and they chose poses etc.
The girls absolutely love the sessions and look forward to them each week. The benefits for each child, for their own well-being, have been evident in how calmly and respectfully they have responded to Mrs Sweeney.

One of our EAL students finds the classes especially beneficial as it helps him express himself. He gets involved with the class despite not fully engaging in other activities and has helped him to have non-verbal communication.

After the class the children are calmer and relaxed. The activities get all the children involved. It is especially good for the children who are restless or struggle to stay focused.

I had the pleasure of having Mrs Sweeney teach my reception class this year and hopefully many more years ahead. The children absolutely adored their enlightened sessions with the truly outstanding Mrs Sweeney.
With meticulous planning Mrs Sweeney curated each session to create an environment that was not only engaging but also enchanting for the children’s age group. As a result, the children would return from each session feeling calm and content, and equipped with valuable, well-being enhanced skills and techniques.
Mrs Sweeney inspired the children to harmonise with their bodies and minds, nurturing a profound connection within themselves. They acquired invaluable skills to self-regulate, breathe through challenging situations at home and in school, and even extend their knowledge to help their friends and families.
Our entire school community, including the teachers, eagerly anticipate the chance to engage in Mrs Sweeney’s sessions! Her positive and radiant presence makes her a joy to be around, and the children respond remarkably well to her unique teaching approach. Mrs Sweeney’s extensive expertise in yoga practice shines brightly, and her remarkable ability to customise her lessons to suit the children’s age group is truly exceptional, we absolutely love Mrs Sweeney and we are certain that you will too.

Mrs Sweeney has been lovely, engaging and knowledgeable while delivering her classes. The girls have absolutely loved the yoga and are so enthusiastic about the lessons. Every week the girls have not only fully embraced all the yoga positions but also the breathing and relaxation techniques which are so valuable for them to learn for everyday life. Mrs Sweeney has a calm way in communicating with the children and her lessons are always interesting and fun.
