Elfin, Participant Mindfulness for Heath & Wellbeing

This is course can make such a big difference in your life, it helps identify the main struggles we have in our lives and gives us tools to see them differently. I think it really helps reclaim your life back from anxiety and stress and learn to truly take care of yourself

YARDO's programmes are cross-subsidised. This means you pay what you can afford for the courses because the fee is subsidised by grants, sponsorship and donations from those who can pay more.

Shirley, Participant
Mindfulness & Self Compassion

“At first, I felt a little anxious, I did not know what to expect.  Life experience was a little  difficult for me and with the overwhelming affect of Covid19, I felt completely lost.

 

The retreat was a very positive experience that left me totally refreshed and at peace with myself.

Dong Sticks - Mindful Movement

It is hard to describe but when you get into the flow of it is brilliant.  I loved being in nature, the feeling of stretch and centredness that I got at the end. I would absolutely come back.
