Bhunesh Napal – Yoga Sessions Feedback

“I remember my late father doing yoga every morning so this was a good motivation for me to join in with The Mentor Ring and feel connected with a new group and get to know others. At first, I felt it was too early. Once I started, Daily yoga has given me discipline and a routine to my day. I have seen that my skin complexion prior to yoga and during lockdown was looking off colour and others reinforced this that they had noticed me looking more glowing compared to when I first started. I have also become more flexible and helped with better sleep. Sometimes my grandchildren will also join in and enjoy the sessions with me and also get to talk to TMR team members. Thanks for this wonderful opportunity”

 

 

Ruby – Yoga Sessions Feedback

 I have been working with The Mentor Ring for the past 3 and a half years and now regularly hold online yoga practice sessions with 6-8 individuals across South Wales on a daily basis. Despite the geographical distances between the participants and myself, the sessions have become a welcoming sanctuary where age is merely a number and every breath is an opportunity for growth. Through gentle guidance and nurturing encouragement, I’ve had the privilege of witnessing my older students embrace yoga as a powerful tool for maintaining vitality, mobility, and inner peace.
There has been a sense of community that has flourished within our online classes. Despite being physically apart, our virtual gatherings have overcome physical boundaries, ensuring connections and shared experiences amongst the participants.
One of the greatest joys of teaching yoga to older adults is witnessing the transformative power of the practice unfold in their lives. From increased flexibility and strength to improved balance and posture, the benefits of yoga have improved their well-being and quality of life. It has been an honour and an incredibly fulfilling journey witnessing the impact of yoga on the lives of my students. Together, we breathe, move, and thrive.

Since 2023, I’ve dedicated my time to volunteering with TMR, and it’s been an enriching experience. One of the main reasons for this is the wonderful supportive and caring staff members. TMR organizes various activities and events aimed at helping individuals grow and achieve their goals. There are many opportunities to learn, develop skills, and broaden our horizons. I often bring my daughter along to participate in the after-school activities sessions, where she enjoys interacting with other children and learning in a fun environment.  These sessions not only make her after-school time more enjoyable but also contribute to her overall knowledge and skill development.

I first came to The Mentor Ring, coffee morning with invitation to attend, get out of flat. Although Sujatha aimed at Nelson House, I lived in The Loudoun house for some 24 years. I found it important to go out attend coffee morning. I have learnt a lot and also discovered things and got to know the community.

I have known Sujatha since 2005, we were on the same Mentor course. I helped build the coffee morning topic met so many people officially and had good chat, the topic at present is gardening.

I welcome anyone to come for coffee morning, you will not be disappointed.

Volunteering with TMR has been an incredibly rewarding experience. From the moment I joined, I felt welcomed and valued as a member of the team. The impact we make on the community is tangible and heartwarming.

Through my time with TMR, I’ve had the opportunity to work on various projects, from organising events to directly assisting those in need. Every task, no matter how small, contributes to the greater good and serves a purpose in improving the lives of others.

What sets TMR apart is its commitment to making a difference with compassion and integrity. The dedication of the staff is truly inspiring, and its been an honour to be part of such a dedicated and passionate community.

I wholeheartedly recommend volunteering with TMR anyone looking to make a meaningful impact and give back to their community. It’s not just about the work we do; it’s about the connections we make and the lives we touch along the way.
