I was excited to attend Helen‘s Making Space workshop but a little apprehensive as 3 hours may prove to be a long time especially as I had never taken a class with Helen before. I shouldn’t have worried – i enjoyed the time so much and it felt luxurious to really spend time listening to my body and letting it do ‘what it knows to do’.
My mind cleared quickly and I settled into listening and becoming aware of what my body was telling me. Helen is an expert at building trust and a supportive atmosphere and by the end I felt a great deal of release of stress which I wasn’t consciously aware that I was carrying. There was less movement than in other classes I have attended but it was far better movement. Helen obviously has an in depth knowledge of what she teaches and great experience in teaching.
She helped me find the best position for me for the Yoga Nidra practice at the end, so that I was the most comfortable I have ever been in for this part of a yoga class. I really appreciated the importance Helen placed on this final relaxation which I have always thought was the best part of a yoga class but which is skipped over by other teachers I have known.
I came away feeling peaceful and also with a surprising understanding of how tired I am. I have experienced quite a lot of difficulty over the last few years and the workshop today has helped me clarify that I need to take time to look after myself so that I can continue supporting others who need me. I’ve been told this and on an intellectual level I understand it, but Helen’s workshop today has made me see I need and want to do this. Helen’s gift is definitely that of helping people understand what they need. Amazing. Thank you.
