"A few months ago I joined Hummingbird and for the first time ever I'm not watching the clock to see when I can stop. I find it all a challenge but a real sense of achievement in getting a move right ... 'ish . The thing that has surprised me most is the difference it has made to my concentration . I've always been a butterfly brain, very easily distracted but within a few sessions this changed to such an extent that people have told my how centred I am and calm . Susan is patient , calm and very good at positive instruction . In a short time you really move forward .There is no comparison between here and a gym, small groups, a calm vibe and laughing :)"
