totally recommend so come try out for your free session now that's what i done back in january and i've not looked back  


Karen Newman

This was my first introduction into yoga and meditation. Both classes were professional, welcoming and easy to follow. I thoroughly enjoyed it and felt relaxed and revived at the same time. I will definitely be going regularly and would really recommend the classes. Thank you 

Charlotte Gravatt

We had a wonderful session with Mark and  Sue. We felt very welcome and at ease with them. I would 100% recommend the Yoga and Meditation classes - and don’t worry if you haven’t tried it before, they fully explain everything  before it begins and during the class. It was a truly lovely experience. Thank you both so much.

Louise Bryan

A great way to start the weekend, the classes are so relaxing. 

Sandra Staden

I was  made very welcome by Mark and Susan and introduced to others within the group.   They have created a wonderful space in which you are guided through the sessions.  There is time to chat between yoga and meditation accompanied by a complimentary cup of tea, with Mark and Susan on hand to answer any questions.    I have now attended 3 sessions and have left feeling energised, grounded and balanced each time.  Delighted to have found this.  

Alison Kriel

We spent two weeks in the area and were so grateful to discover this wonderful yoga studio. One of us is a yoga teacher, the other a beginner, yet we both found the classes so enriching that we immediately booked again for the following weekend.

Mark, Sue, and all the classmates welcomed us with warmth, making us feel like part of the community from the very start. The Hatha yoga sessions were gentle and inclusive, while the meditation was deeply introspective and profoundly relaxing—a perfect combination.

We left feeling uplifted, peaceful, and ready to embrace our weekend in the stunning Essex countryside. An absolute gem —highly recommended!

Sarah  Bullen

First time attending this session. Both teachers were very welcoming and even had a chat post session to get feedback. Such a wonderful session.... it should be prescribed! I live half hour away from venue and although I can't make it weekly I have already booked in my next session. Felt like I was floating for the rest of the day! Just amazing... thank you!

Nicola  Slide

Really enjoyed this mediation and yoga class with Susan and Mark. My body and mind felt very relaxed afterwards! The location is also lovely, in the centre of Great Waltham and next to a nice coffee shop for brunch afterwards! 

Sarah Bullen

Excellent experience again. Second time attending, all very friendly. Lovely atmosphere,  I was floating when I left the hall! Namaste 🙏 

Alison Plumb

The positive energy of the yoga class and balancing relaxation of meditation - best way to set yourself up for the weekend! Thank you.

Sinead Phillips

What a wonderful way to start a weekend. I went to the Sat morning sessions of yoga and meditation. We were made to feel very welcomed.  One of the nicest yoga sessions I’ve ever been to, and the meditation was very relaxing. I will definitely be coming again! 

Jane Daniels

Love these Saturday morning sessions with Mark & Susan. A beautiful blend of a yoga session & meditation session, it sets me up for the weekend. Nice that you can choose to do either or both, but I love the combination, it leaves me so peaceful & free of tension.

Beth Knight

Great class, good for all abilities and a lovely morning activity 

Cara Morbey

Amazing class! Perfect introduction to yoga. Will be back. 

Nikita Osborne 

Susan offers a great class for varied ability and somehow makes it suitable for everyone from early beginner to the most experienced yogi. The environment is so welcoming and friendly. It's obvious that Mark and Susan both have a wealth of knowledge and a genuine love what what they do and it's reflected beautifully in these sessions. 

Simon  Perry

Attended my first yoga session on Saturday morning at Great Waltham and found a very calm and relaxing environment. Susan and Mark were very welcoming and I found the class easy to follow despite it being my first session for about 8 years.
I will definitely be attending the Saturday class as often as I can.

Philippa Redfern

Absolutely love starting my Saturday with yoga at Great Waltham. A great balance of challenging and relaxing, I always feel leaving calmer and ready for the weekend

Tracy McCormack

First time meditating with Mark. I left feeling positive, energised and lifted. Would definitely recommend!

Sarah-Jane Henry

What a wonderful way to start your weekend!
From a friendly welcome to a very relaxing hour of led meditation 

Thank you Mark

I will be recommending you to my friends and I am looking forward to coming back for more 😊

Clare Morris

I throughly enjoyed taking part in the Meditation session. I felt welcome as soon as I walked through the door. Lovely surroundings, pretty lights and even a hot drink before we started. The hour goes really quickly! 

Anne Britton 

Always a really relaxing  and calming session. I couldn't keep my eyes open

Anne   Britton

Anne Britton

Always a relaxing and peaceful  environment that  leaves me feeling very calm

Carol Foulger

Our family is going through a very stressful time and my daughter suggested meditation. I can honestly say I felt really comfortable at the session and at the end I felt a sense of calm and peace. Thank you! 

Jess Foulger

The Saturday morning meditation session with Mark was amazing. I instantly felt at ease when I entered the room; seeing friendly, smiling faces and receiving a warm welcome.

The meditation itself was an out of body experience. I went on a personal journey during that hour and would definitely return! I went in open minded to the experience, as I have never done any meditation before. I allowed myself to truly relax, close my eyes and listen to Mark’s words. At one point I felt overcome with emotion and had a silent cry to myself, but for good reasons. I felt very calm for the rest of the day.

Mark asked for consent before any touching (for blessings & putting on the string bracelet), which was appreciated.

Thank you Mark!

Anita Hall

Lovely caring  friendly experience. Hope to adapt more by attending more sessions & getting into the ‘zen’.

I felt so much lighter after the session. It is really helping me. Thank you Mark 🥹

lisa Simmons

This is a beautiful, calm and relaxing meditation sessions that will leave you feeling wonderful at the end. I always feel blissfully happy as I am leaving with a real sense of peace and calm. My heart is full and singing. Try it, you will be so happy you did and want to go back for more and more.

Princess Lincoln

Steve Radley

A very warm welcome for a newcomer, in a relaxing and calming environment, will definitely go back

Dawn Cant

Very good class - Mark was so understanding and easy to listen to 
I will definitely go again 

Helen Turner

I have been going since the new year if 2024. I do yoga first with Susan who is an excellent teacher. Her voice is so calm. Susan is a great teacher as she will give you different moves depending on how your body feels. Susan also comes round and adjusts your move. The thing I like the most is at the end when you are lying on your back relaxed and Susan then comes round with oil, which she puts on your forehead and with the women she gives a head massage. The men she does a shoulder massage. The yoga class  lasts an hour you then have a break before Mark starts his medication. Mark explains before the lesson what we are doing and explains the story behind the meditation. Mark has such a calming voice that you end up falling asleep. The meditation lasts an hour, but depends on the medication it can go over. You can go to these sessions on Tuesday evening and Saturday morning. You can go to one of them or to both. There is mo subscription you pay as you go. If you have paid and cannot go they can carry it over til the next week. 

Went to yoga last evening. It was very busy. We did gentle yoga to do with hips and chest opening. During the break had tomato and basil soup before Meditation. 

Beth Farr

The yoga class Sue provides is always deeply relaxing, as well as being a good workout, in a friendly space with no judgement. 
  The kind hearts of Sue and Mark create a palpable atmosphere of calm, and you always leave feeling taken care of. It's a true balm for a busy modern life. 

I went to yoga on Tuesday 20 August. We did a move and found that the position I was in did not feel comfortable with my shoulder. Susan gave me an alternative move and I found  that was a lot easier. The class was very busy and Susan still managed to help people.  


On Tuesday 1 October it was the return of yoga after a month's rest. We started of with a gentle session just to get us back into it. Definitely felt the moves. It was great meeting up with everyone again. Cannot wait for next week. 


Linda Martin

Ive tried many yoga classes in the past but this class exceeds all.  It was quite challenging in places, which I like, and was delivered in a smooth snd  consistent flow. Liked it a lot and will be booking my next session. 

Helen  Turner 

I have been going to yoga classes since January. I found a notice at my chiropractor for chair yoga, but when I went onto the website I found that they do class sessions on Tuesday evenings as well as Saturday mornings. Yoga is only on for an hour. Starts at 6.15 pm and finishes 7.15 pm. Susan is a very nice lady. She has a very calming voice. Susan will help you with your body into the right position and will also give you alternative moves if you find one that is not to your liking. At the end of the session she comes round with oil and for ladies does a head massage and for the men a shoulder massage. If you do not want the oil then tuck in a corner of your mat and Susan will leave you alone. The group is a very warm and friendly and will welcome you with alot of joy. I look forward to yoga every week. It is very good for back problems. I go there instead of the chiropractor. The first session is free so if it does not suit you then at least you have given it a go. 

On Tuesday 19 November Susan did my favourite lesson. Yin. It is a gentle lesson where you hold a certain move for 3 minutes. We do this lesson once a month due to the full moon. It is a stretch exercise. If you feel pain that you should not normally feel then back off a bit and ask Susan to put you in the right position or she can give you another alternative. 

On Tuesday 14 Jan we did my favourite session Yin. It is where you stay in one position for 3 minutes. You feel everything stretch in your body. We did a lot of hip work. It was very busy last evening. All the new people got a clap as their name was mentioned. 

Neil Kelly

Another really enjoyable session, it is such a warm and friendly environment that helps put newcomers like me completely at ease, can't wait for the next session.

Ginette Sibley

A truly magical experience of relaxing yin yoga followed by sublime zen meditation. I floated home on a high. Thank you both so very much. 

I like Mark and Sue's Yoga and meditation group. I like it when you walk through the door and you get that nice smell and I don't get that nervous feeling. Mark and Sue are so warm and friendly pople.. It is lovely that during the break you get food. I like it as peopje are so friendly and chat with you. I most places it can be clucky, but with Sue and Mark you don't get that. I also like the way things are explained to you what Mark and Sue are going to do and then as they go around they ask if you want it or not. I always say yes. As I go for the experience of everything that goes on. Keep up the good work. 


Sue Sumner

Excellent session very relaxing indeed for a first time. 

I have been going for 3 weeks. I have noticed how I have slowed down since I have done the meditation with Mark.
I enjoy Sue's Yoga session. I like the way Sue comes round to adjust your body so you are doing it correctly. I also like the oil on your forehead. I always look forward to Tuesday evenings. Everybody is so warm and friendly. 

totally felt welcomed by mark and susan and the group . 
yoga was great with susan then the meditation with mark afterwards was very much needed and i can't wait to come again saturday which time wise will be better suited with work etc . 
felt very relaxed when i left

sharon nudd

everyone at the class are welcoming and mark and susan out your totally at ease 
claim your first 2 free classes now you will not be disappointed 

Ii have Benn coming since January. I come every Tuesday as I cannot wait to come. Susan is such an excellent teacher as she gives you so many ways to do the yoga move. If Susan sees that you are not in the right position then she comes over and puts you in the right position. After the session there is a break where you get soup made by Mark and also gives you a chance to talk to Susan about the session or ask her any questions.
I love the mediation. Mark has got such a calming voice. He explains what the session we are doing and explains it in detail. Everyone in the group is so friendly and gives you a warm welcome. 


Maureen Bishop

An excellent experience with lovely people and a room full of positive energy.  Would recommend to all.

Karen Esteves

I have known Mark and Sue for quite a while and I love their classes. 
Having moved away from the area, I could not find any other meditation classes that offers so many benefits as Mark’s classes, so I am coming back as it brings me the inner peace and calmness that I need to myself- and a mark does it best! The sounds and smells are very good and healing.
I can highly recommend giving a go, you can’t live without it after you try it.

Thank you Mark for always being so welcoming and teaching us about your incredible  knowledge in Buddhism - not to mention your lovely recipes, soups and home made breads :) 
See you soon !
Karen


An excellent experience led by a very professional and skilled meditation guide.

Would recommend to all that are interested in peace of mind and mental clarity in these challenging times.

Amazing experience. I totally felt relaxed as soon as the session started. Had complete control of my breathing throughout with Mark’s guidance. Came home feeling very calm and have continued to breathe deeply.

Lucy Roberson

I had a wonderful time at the meditation class, I carried the peace it gave me throughout the rest of the week. Everyone was so so welcoming and friendly. I can’t wait to go back. It was like nothing I’d ever done before and I felt so relaxed and safe. It was very dimmed lighting with lovely gentle fairylights and candles and amazing aromas, which made it perfect to relax in, and everything you could need was provided. If you’re experiencing a lot of stress I would definitely recommend this class, and have recommended it to several friends now.

vanessa Evans-Green

Always a sense of calmness and absolute inclusion - for the first time in a very long time I felt able to relax still my mind and focus on the light. Mark is an amazing human and we are lucky to have him locally.
