“Having yoga classes at work has been beneficial in so many ways. They help to keep my stress levels down, I have precious time to focus on my wellbeing without external distractions and the satisfaction as my yoga practice improves with each class cannot be beaten.I imagined it would be hard to relax in a work environment and switch off from the day but in fact have found it to be a very easy transition as the sequence of poses naturally draws your focus into the moment.  …and it is great to feel my firm is taking an active interest in the health and happiness of its employees."

'I've been doing yoga with Karen Bonnici for eighteen months and only wish I could do more! Karen's classes are a delight, paradoxically stimulating and calming at the same time.  Karen is the ideal teacher: she is very supportive and positive and so gets the best out of everyone in the class.  I always feel refreshed at the end of a class, physically, mentally and spiritually.'

“As a busy professional, yoga is the perfect solution to solving the demands of my work and life.  Karen’s inspirational teaching style promotes achievement, discipline and commitment.  I leave the classes energised, refreshed and ready to face what lies ahead.
Karen is a supportive teacher who encourages me to test my own ability and focus on my goals.”

“Your Friday Yoga class is a complete oasis at the end of what is usually a manic week for me, and it calms and re-energises me for the weekend. I also derive significant benefit in terms of the problems I have with my back, and really notice the difference if I am unable to come for a week or two!
It is amazing how much benefit the class brings to me in many different ways.”

“I wish I had discovered yoga years ago!  Yoga is keeping me toned, improving my flexibility and helps keep me calm. As a working mum of two my lunch hour seems to be the only “free time” I have to participate in any fitness classes and luckily for me my employers run lunch-time sessions.  I return to my desk (and family) energised, focused and relaxed.  For me it’s a perfect way to take a break from my work and participate in something so worthwhile and beneficial.  Every employer should offer their staff such an opportunity....”

“Karen’s lunchtime yoga classes are the perfect interval in my busy working day.  The classes help me wind down and relax and help me concentrate much better in the afternoons. Physically, the stretching and core work have increased my flexibility and seem to balance out the effects of sitting at a desk all day – I even sometimes do some of the stretches at my desk.”

“Being a teacher is a very rewarding career but it can be very stressful. My yoga classes with Karen are relaxing and great fun, giving me an opportunity to revitalise myself ready for another busy day in the classroom!  Karen gives so much of herself when teaching, enthusiasm, energy and her humour which means that at the end of class I am ready to give back something to my job and the children I teach. It is because of Karen’s inspirational teaching that yoga has become an integral part of my life and well being.”
