“”So, I think something you notice when you sit in the door of the breathing space is that everyone is welcome, whether you’re a teacher trainer, whether you’re a class participant for the first time, or whether you’re a regular member attending. That sense of everybody coming together to take part in yoga, to enjoy the experience, brings such a sense of belonging and caring. Something that, you know, I hope to replicate in my own life.””

“[…] the Breathing Space really fostered such a lovely, beautiful sense of community amongst us teacher trainees, and that’s really down to Bel and Christine who created such, and do create such a welcoming environment and encouraging everybody to be themselves. And I think, from that welcome ceremony we did at the beginning to just spending regular tea breaks (tea on tap at the Breathing Space.) So we would have our tea breaks and the learning wouldn’t just end in the classroom; we’d be chatting and doing all sorts of meditations we’ve done in previous nights, and go for lunches together every weekend, which was amazing. So, over the course of the 12 weekends, I think all together, we just created such a deep bond, and it’s just amazing to be in a setting where everyone’s so enthusiastic about yoga and so curious and passionate about learning more.”

“What initially attracted me to the Breathing Space in Derby for my yoga training was the captivating timetable of what we were going to learn. It wasn’t just about the asanas; we would delve into the depths of yogic philosophy as well. Additionally, I loved the ambiance of the space itself. The friendly atmosphere coupled with the professionalism of Bel and Christine made me feel welcomed and at ease. During the open day, I had the opportunity to interact with past students who were beaming with enthusiasm about their experience. Their positive feedback reassured me and instilled confidence that I had made the right choice in selecting the Breathing Space for my training.”

“…the Breathing Space program fostered the community between the trainees from the early days of the course. There were a lot of group activities that brought us all together. It’s been a lovely experience; there’s a lovely community vibe within the Breathing Space. And even though the practitioners on the course have all gone in different directions and are all different types of yogis, we all get on really, really well and bond really well together.”
