I was unsure of the programme when my mum signed me up but I actually found it useful as I have a tendency to worry a lot about things and the breathing has helped me.

Preparing for my A levels and university applications has been quite a stressful time for me. I did this course during that time and found the techniques I learnt so powerful – they definitely helped me feel less stressed.

The things we learnt in the programme about how to manage the mind were very interesting, I think I will use them a lot.

I noticed a real change in my son after the Yes course from him doing his breathwork and meditations. His mood is better, he seems to be more alert and aware and does not get irritated as often.

This workshop was very insightful for us as a family. Not only did it help my daughter, but when she shared what she learnt with us, we realised it’s so important to have these tools and skills in this day and age to help our children get through tough times.

I was looking for something to help my son with his anxiety and I feel he really got so much more – he understood what makes him feel uneasy in his mind and now has a way to deal with it. His confidence has really been boosted.
