WHAT KIDS SAY

Thank you so much for the work that you have done with Sarah.  I am so grateful for your support and can’t believe how far she has come in such a short time.  I love that she has role models like you and the rest of the team.  She tells me that she wants to be just like you when she is an adult and is keen to study psychology so that she can also help young women.

Just letting you know that my daughter Savannah loved your classes so much last week, that she asked me to see if it was alright if she stayed a little longer tonight for the Heart Beat class? In fact, she asked if she could do EVERY class you guys had and mentioned that we need to move somewhere in between her school and the city lol. I thought it was amazing considering on opening day she was soooo against any idea of trying something new 🙂 Also just wanted to say THANK YOU to all of you lovely ladies for making her feel so welcome. In just one week I have noticed a beautiful sparkle in her that I haven’t seen in a long time 🙂

I have really enjoyed the yoga at the end of each session and how we just get to relax and have time to think and rest for the rest of the day and think about everything that is going on in our lives.

Getting to understand people better was a great way of helping us all bond and being given the opportunity to be able to let go of any worries or problems. Also, talking with each other about it and how you feel about them. Yoga at the end was very calming and even though you feel dead at the end of the exercise at the start it makes you feel HAPPY!

This whole thing has been AMAZING!! I have really enjoyed it, it has helped me to understand many things in life like to accept everything and everyone the way it is. Also, just bonding with everyone, getting to know the people I didn’t know as much is great.

What I have enjoyed most is Body Ignite because it’s fun and lots of movement. I also enjoyed yoga because it’s relaxing and peaceful. Also a great way to end the session. 

I absolutely loved our sessions! They were great to just let go and for us to connect more as a family. Huda was great and so energetic, she was so much fun! I had such a great time. Thank you!

I really appreciate all you have done for me and my fellow sisters. I have enjoyed this workshop very much and I have taken a lot from it to make me a better person, friend and sister. I have really enjoyed the upbeat dancing and strengthening at the start to get us motivated and awake. The talks about how we as people change and to appreciate others as they have their changes to. The yoga at the end is a great way to finish off the day. So to sum it all up I have really enjoyed the whole thing. Thank you!

Standing Strong has been a great experience for me. The thing I have enjoyed most is relaxing in yoga and the bonding circle. The yoga has taught me to relax and the bonding has taught me a lot about the girls and how our personalities are chosen. I am very grateful for this opportunity and would love to do it again

The meditation is really good, just to be able to relax. The connecting thing we did today I think really helped bring us together more as a year group. It eased any tension that was going on and was just really good. Thank you so much for everything!

This experience at Standing Strong has been very memorable, I’ll take back lots of things that you have taught me. I loved being able to tell the truth and let things off my chest that had been bothering me. Also, just being able to get advice from you has been amazing. Thank you for everything and for giving me the chance to speak up and let others know my feelings. Thank you.

I loved learning about the different personalities because now I can relate to it in everyday life. New techniques to let go of things will be really helpful. My favourite part was looking at the candles and relaxing/yoga. Yoga helped me learn how to stretch and relax on a deeper level. I loved the chocolate too!

Thank you so much for giving me the opportunity to spend time with you and gain so much knowledge throughout my time here at Standing Strong. I loved how you taught us about our personalities and when and what to do when people are portraying these traits. I loved doing the yoga and the dancing exercises at the start, it is really something I’ve never had the opportunity to experience, so thank you! Once again thank you so much for giving me this opportunity

I really enjoyed this program. I loved how we were energised at the start, learnt something and then relaxed at the end. I liked the end where we did our gratefuls with candles. Learning things about the different types of personalities was really helpful. Overall this program is good because it has a mixture of things all in one that makes it so fun. Thank you so much!

My favourite part was the yoga and meditation because you just got to relax. I also liked the different personality colours because I can relate to that. I think the whole experience has helped me to become closer with everyone and closer with myself. I also liked the fitness part because it make me feel good about myself. THANK YOU!

I think Standing Strong has really helped me understand friendships a whole lot better and really made me think about everyone a lot more. It is such a great idea and I loved every minute of it. Thank you so much for everything you taught me

The thing I enjoyed the most was making our promises with all our sisters and connecting and really having a heart-to-heart with all of the girls. I also really loved learning about everyones different personalities and how alike and different we all are from each other. I also really enjoyed just letting go of our grudges and burning our pieces of paper, thank you

To the Standing Strong ladies, I would like to thank you all so much for your love, support, inspiration and positive words of wisdom that you have given my daughter, Chelsea. When she started she was suffering from very low self-esteem and anxiety. It was a real challenge getting her out of the house, let alone go to school.

Through your programs she has improved AMAZINGLY! I would like to thank you all for helping to get my beautiful girl back on track. Your program has really been a godsend to Chelsea and our whole family. You are all truly wonderful ladies who do such a great job with your support. You are fantastic role models for all the young girls.

I would encourage any other parent whose daughter is suffering or struggling to believe how special she really is to bring her to your inspirational Standing Strong Club. I’m so glad I did! Thank you.
