I completed Iliyana's 8 week programme earlier this year and I am so glad that I took the plunge and did it. I had a very basic knowledge of meditation before beginning the course but over the 8 weeks I learned some wonderful meditations and some fantastic tools to switch the monkey mind off for a while. I’ve learned many new ways of managing stress/worries in my daily life and 6 months later I find I am a lot more peaceful and more patient with my children and others in my life. I look at life from a more balanced mindset. I would highly recommend this programme and Iliyana as a teacher and hope to do more courses with her in the future. This course has truly been life-changing for me”

This MBSR course gave me an awareness of “Now” and the value of the “pause” to check in with oneself.  Gradually during those 8 weeks my mind was opened up to practices to bring me to a full realisation of the inner life and the importance of recognising it and respecting it.  I can say without hesitation that this course has allowed me to make changes in my way of thinking that have enhanced my daily life and my response to its various challenges.  In the early weeks I was surprised at an innate resistance in myself but I will be forever grateful that I gave myself the gift of time and patience to complete the course as it really has enriched my life and my relationships.   I will be forever grateful to Iliyana.”
