I have been attending Indira’s yoga classes regularly for over a year now. Indira teaches Kundalini yoga, incorporating the use of postures, music, and mantras and breathe work into each class. We have also learned some meditations.
I find the classes stimulating and enjoyable and they have helped me both physically and emotionally. The Kriyas (postures) that we do are excellent for general fitness and toning. We work with our eyes closed and at our own pace, so we are not competing against anyone but ourselves. My energy levels have improved a great deal since starting Indira’s classes and I rarely feel tired during the day now. I have also noticed that I have more confidence in myself and a much more positive outlook on life. This has brought about improvements in my relationships, both in my personal and my working life, which have allowed me to make progress and leave behind negative behaviour, which have held me back in the past. The past year has been a challenging one for me and Indira’s classes have helped me find the strength within myself to deal with difficult issues that needed addressing.
Indira is an excellent teacher and I felt at ease with her from the start. She clearly has a deep knowledge and understanding of the yoga she teaches and often speaks from her own personal experience. She is sensitive and encouraging, always having her students’ best interests at heart with any advice she may give them. Indira is generous with her time, making herself available to answer any questions that arise. She has been a great source of support to me over the last year and I would strongly recommend her classes to anyone with an interest in health and self-development.

My introduction to Indira’s Reflexology treatments were gifted to me as a birthday present from my partner, Lorraine. At that point in my life, I was suffering from high work stress levels, chronic lower back pain and a stiff right shoulder.
From the very first treatment, I was amazed at how confident Indira came across throughout the session with her immense knowledge of Reflexology. For me, this had a very calming affect which helped to feel tranquil and be stress-free throughout the treatment. In addition to her knowledge, I find Indira’s approach to be sensitive, respectful, professional and talented, with an intuitive understanding of your needs.
During the treatments I am, both in mind and body, very relaxed where I am able to switch off to the strains of everyday living. Following the treatments, I find my energy levels are high but with a calming mind. Most remarkably, I have noticed how my stress levels and pain from my lower back and shoulder are greatly reduced.
Highly recommended!

I first tried Metamorphic Technique because I wanted something different, something that would be deeply relaxing while also freeing up blocks- a kind of self-maintenance intervention that would not only address the body but emotional processing as well. I had never heard of it before.
I was surprised at how instantly comfortable I felt with Indira, as it usually takes me a while to let go with someone. I found myself able to relax so deeply, more than with massage, that I was no longer aware of my surroundings and was able to enter that blissful place of wordless sensations, fleeting thoughts and images.
Metamorphic Technique to me is an intervention that allows me to relax to a state where I can access this deep level of processing, which does not require words or analysis to make sense of it.
I have the experience that after a session I feel very spacey and usually need to have a bit of a nap. I cannot not know this for certain, but in the longer term I usually feel as though the sessions help me move things along in my life especially in times of significant change and upheaval or relationship issues.
For me, Metamorphic Technique is also ideal as I myself judge when and how often I 'need' to have a session, respecting my own process

"I started coming to Indira at a pretty stressful time in my life - I was working very hard and my partner and I had been trying for a year or so to conceive. Having reflexology was part of a commitment to myself to reprioritise my health and well being. Indira provided an instant calming influence, both through the sessions and with her friendly, empathetic demeanor.
The reflexology helped to prepare me emotionally and provided much needed physical and mental relaxation during our IVF treatment. The sessions with Indira put me in a really calm and positive frame of mind for our second attempt at IVF, which was successful. I've continued to benefit from sessions with Indira during my happy and uneventful pregnancy - she's focused on sessions designed to prevent a variety of common pregnancy ailments, and is full of tips for, for example, keeping my underactive thyroid up-to-speed and for keeping the baby off my sciatic nerve. Any physical or emotional tension I've built up dissipates quickly during the session and I always leave feeling super relaxed and refreshed.

The Yoga classes really helped me when I needed to boost my energy, the class improved my flexibility and my self- awareness. As a trainer it is important to be able to shift your energy in order to be at your peak performance.

Attending Indira's classes has given me a space to connect to myself and my own being at a deep level. Allowing space for this has brought many insights, understanding and an awareness of how much our minds and bodies are connected. Invaluable!
