For me personally, after trying out a gym yoga class which I found pretty generic, I then attended Sheena’s - I was astounded at the level of attention, love and genuine care Sheena put into teaching yoga to all her students, you don’t just learn yoga postures and poses, you learn how to listen to your soul, how to nurture your body and how to strengthen your mind.

The energy and positivity in every class is contagious and you certainly won’t be disappointed - I certainly haven’t been and nearly two years on, I’m still attending Sheena’s yoga classes and now training to be a yoga teacher myself, all from the incredible inspiration from Sheena”

There is an endless list of wonderful things that can be said about Sheena's teaching and devotion to yoga and all its principals, mind body and soul alike.

Sheena has taught me to seek the truth in its purest form. How to live this truth and how to strengthen all my innate qualities via beautiful postures. The detail and depth of her teachings not only physical but spiritual too are uplifting without fail and act as a constant reminder that life is all about aiming to react perfectly, not act perfectly.

I urge you strongly to give yoga with Sheena a try. I promise, you will feel re-energised, inspired and confident to take on life with readiness, joy and love. I certainly do! ”

The thing that makes her special is that she values yoga and Chi Kri teachings - and uses them in her own life - and that faith and belief is evident in her classes. I personally have immense trust in her potential to deliver excellent yoga classes for many decades to come…”

She definitely makes her classes fun and engaging especially with the varied choice of music. It was refreshing to hear some catchy and familiar tunes over some of the more calming yoga music that you get which is definitely a plus in my books and actually helps me to go deeper into the poses- nothing quite like a bit of Kanye while doing surya namaskars 🌞.

What I also really like about her classes is that no one class is the same. Even after a year I still find that there are new poses that I'm learning and that makes each class exciting to attend as you're not quite sure which fun challenging power pose you'll learn to do.

Overall her classes have not only helped me improve on my strength physically and achieve more challenging yoga poses but also mentally, as she offers a different perspective on all the obstacles that we face in life which I've always appreciated listening to.

Sheena herself is a very supportive and dedicated yogi, whose cheery face is always a joy to walk into on Saturday mornings. So if you like listening to music (there's something for everyone), giving your body a bit of work out and you want to come out feeling very calm and relaxed then I definitely recommend that you try out Yoga with Sheena if you haven't already done so 🙂”

I cannot speak for everyone on the class but I am sure if you ask them individually, they will agree that it is us who remain very grateful to you for helping us cope with our daily stresses in our lives.

You educate us with various channels to "let go", believe in ourselves and develop the mental and spiritual strength to deal with the challenges that we all face in different ways. (Accompanied with some muscular pains as a remembrance! :) ).

So THANK YOU Sheena. I am very glad that I met you through this class and it has made a monumental difference in how I behave in various circumstances.

I also saw your video on depression and it is extremely touching. I admire you to have gone through that difficult period and becoming what you are today. You are an inspiration to us all - and that inspiration, together with your strength, is permeating across many many souls who know you through various means.

Please keep up the good work - and continue to be that Spiritual Warrior! ”

Ever since I first started, Sheena has been a continuous source of inspiration for me. I am so grateful for the dedication she shows both in and out of class - it is clear that Sheena wants us, as her students, to soar high and become the best possible versions of ourselves.

Practicing yoga has been challenging, but with Sheena's help I have pushed myself both physically and mentally to achieve some of the very same poses that Sheena amazed me with at my first session! :)

I have already learnt a great deal through her teachings and the Chi Kri philosophy. I couldn't recommend her more highly, whether you are looking to build strength, or simply find some inner peace or still your mind. ”

Yoga is refreshing, energising and great for toning and strengthening every muscle too. Meditation provides a means of relaxing, and leaves you with a sense of peace, calmness, and positivity.

Her deep understanding of yoga means that she can cater to my individual aims during our 1-2-1 sessions. We cover a wide range of yoga applications in each session, from chakra work, pranayama, and meditation to specific postures that will develop my strength, balance, and flexibility.

I couldn’t recommend her more as a yoga teacher – I have never met someone who so intuitively knows what you need and so patiently helps you achieve your peace - whilst making sure that you are always playing an active role in your development. ”

Sheena is passionate about yoga and that shows through in her classes. I enjoy her varied classes with mixed abilities and ages with her carefully selected motivational music.

Time flies in each session with a balance of a warm up, mix of core, strength, flexibility, breathing and relaxation techniques plus she gives words of inspiration and motivation to focus the mind.

It has helped with reducing my stress levels and I have never been so flexible. I have been going for over two years and can’t imagine life without Yoga. I would encourage anyone to attend one of Sheena’s many classes. ”

Sheena’s yoga sequences are creative and fluid which helps to keep the engagement and focus for even the most wondering of minds.

Sheena never fails to bring her positive energy to classes. She is full of joy, love and wisdom.

With Sheena it’s not just a regular yoga class. There’s a strong desire to connect with every student and develop our thoughts towards positivity and the real universal truths. She’s a real inspiration!

I highly recommend Sheena’s classes if you’re ready to make a committed effort towards developing your physical & mental strength and spiritual growth. That commitment will be returned by Sheena in abundance and you will simply reap the benefits. ”

The classes were fun yet challenging. Tackling the "Baby Crow" and "Chi Kri One Legged Peacock" pose have been some of my highlights. The contemporary yoga style was contrasted with modern music which really enticed me and I've been caught out singing along to some of the songs!

What I've learnt from Chi Kri is that strength is both an external and internal entity, and the yoga is there to stimulate both of these things in order for one to reach their maximum potential and lead a fulfilling life.

The quotes that are read out in class, and the interpretation of limericks are inspiring and provide me with a fresh outlook on situations. I would really recommend Sheena's classes for any yoga level and anyone just trying to find a better version of themselves ”

Her teaching voice is very beautiful, and her knowledge of the teachings of yoga is phenomenal…As a person, she is extremely humble at all times and is always ready to give her time and help when you need it. I have asked for her help many, many times during our training together and I am blessed to be able to call her my special friend.”

By believing in you, and helping you believe in yourself as you accomplish little steps, she makes a huge difference when it is most needed. She makes you feel part of her team, whose goal it is to be and do the best we can. She empathises with your situation and gives you hope of better times. Thank you, Sheena!”

9 months on, I am 2 ½ stones lighter but it was not just the physical aspect of yoga that resulted in this weight loss so far. I now realise that there is more to yoga than the poses! Something Sheena helped me realise. I like to think that I was/am a mindful person anyway; I now find myself being mindful of my own wellbeing. The only way I can explain it is that yoga is a great life tool that creates harmony in the mind, body and soul – the more you practice the more you benefit (in so many ways).

Sheena's class is the highlight of my week - she's always so friendly and radiates positivity throughout the session.

She's always willing to help you if you find anything difficult, as well as keeping you motivated and enabling you to stretch your ability.

I am always excited to try new poses, especially power poses, and I often find that I am capable of doing more than I initially thought and it gives me a sense of accomplishment.

By the end of the session I always feel refreshed and amply positive and I cannot wait till the next session!”

This rat race that we so lovingly call life has conditioned our minds to venture on a pursuit of happiness when in fact what we are not taught is that happiness is a journey; not a destination.

If you're looking for that extra hour in your week then I think you've found it. But then again why listen to me when you can come and try it for yourself with a whole host of other people who already know how good it is.

I have only been attending Sheena's sessions for a term but I like her calm and loving nature which flow through very clearly in her teachings. Whether you are doing breathing exercises (pranayama) or stretching/poses (asana) Sheena believes in you even when you don't! You will leave feeling relaxed, full of energy and ready to seize the day.

Having studied Neuroscience to degree level I am a scientist at heart but that does not stop me from believing in the power that we possess in our minds. After leaving these sessions you will be reminded about what it feels again to be at peace with those around you (and more importantly yourself) - something that seems to be fading away in this era.

Sheena's taught me to do things that I thought I'd never be able to do physically due to the back problems that I was born with. There is no requirement for you to be able to touch your toes or do the splits and Sheena is very understanding when it comes to people's abilities.

What have you got to lose? If you don't try then you'll never know. Take the risk - it's definitely worth the reward.”

Before I started yoga I was not in a good place. I struggled with bad relationships which left me with a lot of anger inside me which I kept to myself for so long. I used to get panic attacks when I got stressed, having the feeling something bad is going to happen, and not knowing what it was use to make me feel sick and my breathing to become erratic. I also travel on the underground everyday to work and would worry everyday about being on a packed train – I hate the feeling of being enclosed in a confined space.

Now because I have an amazing teacher, Sheena Shah I am slowly overcoming my fears. I wake up in the morning and my mind is clear -I no longer worry and I just feel calm. My anger has completely faded.

I would recommend Yoga to everyone. I am so grateful to Chi Kri and my lovely teacher Sheena because I am so much happier now.”

When we go through our affirmations, my week starts so wonderfully to the extent that when I am back to work the next day, my team can really tell when I have attended a yoga class as my mind is at peace!

I’ve found that many people want to start yoga and think that ‘oh I can’t do it’ or ‘I’m not flexible enough’. Sheena talks you through the poses whilst helping you fight through your mental battles. I’ve found that it really is just all in the mind. If you think that you can’t do it, you won’t reach your full potential.

Whilst, when going in with a positive mind, you will reach your potential and even go beyond. And I have gained this from Sheena’s class and realised the amazing things we can do with various yoga poses and with our minds too.

I can’t put it into words how much I love her class and will always continue to love them even more – definitely a life-long Yogi! I’ve been attending for a year now and she is constantly challenging us with new things and I can guarantee; I always leave with a smile on my face and peace in my heart, mind & soul.

Thank YOU Sheena for all your hard work, love & support and your dedication towards your students and Yoga! I couldn’t recommend her classes more as I want to share the gift Sheena has given through her teachings and Yoga to all”

Having been to University with Sheena, we had deep conversations about yoga and life in general. She told me how she's found that yoga really turned her life around. Social media, gyms, even health magazines/websites boast about the benefits of yoga but in all honesty I did remain sceptical. It seemed hard to believe that a few stretches and being told to 'breathe' would really be the solution to my problems. Turns out, it was just that and more.

After my first lesson with Sheena I felt strangely more relaxed and vibrant. And a bit more at ease within myself. Since then I've found myself hooked and actually can't wait for the next lesson. Sheena is very clear in setting out each pose and makes the classes varied. She is very patient and helps give yoga a type of modern spin...one that connects to young people and elder. While teaching us the benefits of each pose, Sheena's lessons also help put life in perspective. That in all honesty, it is tough but what fun would it be if it wasn't? She teaches us that life and situations are dependent on our outlook on them.

I've been attending Sheena's weekly yoga lessons for just over a month now and can see the powerful influence they are having on my life. Not only do they make me feel reenergised I feel I am in much better control of my thoughts and have just learnt to live in the moment. I've found myself a lot more connected to religion and God, something I did not want to lose and was scaring me that I was. Not to mention they are one hell of a workout! Turns out I couldn't have been further from the truth in thinking yoga was just a bunch of stretches!

For anyone who feels they need to be a bit more control of their lives, feels a bit detached or that common feeling that 'something is missing' I highly recommend one of Sheena's lessons. You'll think she's made out of rubber with the kind of poses she can do but you will be happy she's come into your lives and brought yoga along with it.”

“It helped me concentrate and stop stressing about my exams. It took all the stress out of my chest and gave confidence to me.”

"The sessions made me feel very relaxed and not worried or stressed about what had previously happened that day. Thank you very much!”

“It really relaxed me, improved my state of mind and gave me the idea of listening to meditation music at home while doing homework.”

“It was great for me so I could be less stressed, for example with my homework. It made me calm down.”

“The sessions helped me relax and forget about my worries. ”

Later Anne added...

"I need to thank you for all you have done to help me over the past few years. I should have said much earlier but it was your inspiration that drove me eventually to apply to become a professor. As a result I now have an inaugural professorial lecture in a couple of weeks! ”
