Testimonials
“I must say that the timing of this course was excellent for me, and it has really helped me deal with both internal and external issues over the last couple of months. I intend to keep up readings and classes around this topic, and to integrate regular practices better in my daily routine. I am really grateful for your initiative to organize classes for parents. Thank you again.” --Parent participant of Mindfulness for Parents
“I have taken Ms. S.'s semester-long Yoga Elective more than once. It has helped me to manage my stress and anxiety in ways I never knew. I think I'll be practicing yoga for the rest of my life!" --Middle School student enrolled in elective course of Teen Yoga
"I would just like to say a huge thank you. I always looked forward to Wednesday afternoons and am bit by bit trying to incorporate mindfulness into my routines. The two things that have really stuck with me are the belly breathing/counting with breath and a mental image that has really helped: about picturing thoughts as trams at a tram stop and you can see a thought arriving but choose not to get on it! Thank you so much!" --Faculty participant of Mindfulness for Educators
"The weekend was incredible. Heather (and the co-facilitator) are experts in their fields of yoga and wellness. They created a programme that taught me new things, supported me in my own personal development and they created a warm, welcoming atmosphere. I enjoyed the yoga but even more important I enjoyed connecting with colleagues on a very different level." --Faculty participant of the Wellness Retreat for Educators
“This course has improved my life in so many ways. I am much calmer, more mindful of my actions and do not spend more than necessary thinking about negative emotions and thoughts. It has reconnected me with my Yoga practice and showed me how important it is to slow down and go inwards. Thank you!” --Parent participant of Mindfulness for Parents
"Heather's gentle nature, soothing voice and calm energy are always a welcome respite after a long, stressful day of teaching little ones. I leave her 75-minute class feeling inspired, energized and ready for tomorrow. Thank you for all you do for our school community. We'd be lost without you!" --Faculty participant of after school Yoga for Faculty and Staff

"I started yoga for teens when Ms. Sheridan came to my school, and I've been taking her class ever since. She gets teens. She knows what we need and when we need it. Sometimes it means moving, sometimes it means resting, and sometimes it means talking through a topic. I love her class and will continue as long as we're at the same school." --Student enrolled in after school Yoga and Mindfulness for Teens
“The class was such a safe place. Maybe there is a need to be filled, that is unique to the international/third culture community.” ----Parent participant of Mindfulness for Parents
"I LOVE yoga, and I LOVE Ms. Sheridan's class!" --Differently-abled student participant of Teen Yoga
