I highly recommend the NLP Workshops being given at Evolution Arts by Peter Connolly. When I attended "The Art of Building Confidence", I found myself in a friendly, supportive and inclusive group of people. The principles of NLP were presented by Peter Connolly in a very clear, interesting and thought-provoking manner. Questions and comments were encouraged. Along with leaving the workshop with greater confidence and tools to re-enforce what was learned, I came away with new ideas and ways of looking at things. These included greater insight into my personal obstacles to building confidence. The day was a very interesting and positive experience. Eileen Rosen

John has a relaxed but informative style and is very supportive. His instructions are very precise which are needed for this class. Lesley Brown
The way John teaches Tai Chi is definitely tuned to increase participants self-esteem and self-confidence. I have been practicing for many years with John and his enthusiasm, commitment and deep understanding of human nature (including resistances to practicing at times) have continuously encouraged me to keep 'picking up' my practice when I'd let it slip. I do feel fitter and more connected to my body, and my health has definitely improved. Mica Bobsin
The teacher was fantastic and everybody was enthusiastic. Natalia
The course has inspired my love to do more Tango and feel a little more confident. Helen
The style of teaching was gentle, sensitive and a real awareness of what individuals needed. I did not once feel stupid during the weekend due to both tutors sensitivity to my learning ability, being a beginner to the whole area of tango this was really important to me. Thank you I liked the balance between the tutor and her assistant complemented each other well. I loved Kirsty's less is more philosophy and the simplicity of moves taught. Tig Land
I loved the teacher style and content and pace. A Wonderful class with many repeat students! Clare Bloomfield
