Hi Jo, thank you so much for your lovely review and recommendation.
I'm so pleased you enjoy the classes. I always think it's important to understand why we're doing each exercise, not just how to do it, so I'm really glad you find those explanations helpful.
Making sure everyone feels comfortable working at the level that's right for them is something I care about a lot. Every body is different, so I always aim to offer options and adaptations to help everyone get the most out of each session, whatever their experience or ability.
Thank you for taking the time to leave such kind feedback. I really appreciate your support, and I look forward to seeing you in class each week.

Hi Jules, thank you so much for your lovely review. I'm so pleased you enjoyed the class!
It was great to have you there, and I'm really glad you felt welcomed and well looked after. I always try to make sure everyone understands the movements and has the support they need, so it's lovely to hear that came across.
The setting at Levens is so special, and there's something really calming about exercising outdoors surrounded by nature. As for feeling cold, that's definitely one of the challenges of being outside! Layers are always a good idea, especially at the beginning and during the relaxation at the end.
Thank you again for your kind words. I hope to see you back at another outdoor class soon!😊

Excellent class for all levels
Excellent class for all levels. Sam is a very attentive teacher and aware of the different needs of class individuals. She changes the routines every week making the classes interesting and a good all round excercise routine. She also has quite a holistic approach and is aware of the importance of keeping strong and using breath in our workouts. Very enjoyable experience.

Sam is a truly inspirational teacher, who ensures that all her classes are fun, as well as being very beneficial for strength, fitness, flexibility and balence.
I know that if I didn't attend Sams classes I would not be as fit and flexible as I am, and having this level of fitness means I am able to continue to enjoy leading a very active life.
