Denby Sheather's Testimonials
“I travel all around the world teaching Qigong workshops and one of the great joys of being an instructor is to relax into the times when you yourself can be a student. Whenever I come through Sydney, I love taking Ki FUSION Yoga classes with Denby at Breathing Space. Denby’s style is holistic and joyful; I feel I can fully receive as she holds a space of knowledge, dedication and caring.”
Francesco Garri Garripoli (International Qi Gong master, author and healer)
“When I was first introduced to Denby’s yoga class at Breathing Space I knew instantly I was welcome, safe and held by warmth and genuine care in this space. This was prior to even placing my body on my yoga mat. My introductory class that followed was grounded yet uplifting and a great challenge in mind, body and spirit. I am a professional dancer turned mother of three and have studied various forms of yoga all over Australia and abroad over the past twenty years. It is with great commitment I would declare Denby the most fulfilling of any Yogi’s I have studied with throughout my career and lifetime. Denby has an amazing ability to remind you to stay connected to the breath throughout the entire class whilst giving insight to the benefits of each posture as her technical corrections and reminders ensure results. You are part of a group at Denby’s class and each member is treated with utmost professionalism and genuine love and care in a very grounded gentle manner. I would doubt anybody could leave Breathing Space having done a class with Denby and not acknowledge it was a positive step in their day.”

“I came to Denby after feeling un-satisfied with another yoga centre’s pre-natal yoga. She was so nurturing, understanding and caring and it was a totally supportive environment for me to get through my pregnancy. It was my fourth baby, but 10 years had passed since the last one and needless to say I too was 10 years older. Denby has so much empathy with what ALL pregnant women are going through and completely opens her heart to helping the many varied women and their situations that come to her for guidance and help. I found her classes physically comforting and strengthening but most of all giving me a sense of empowerment and confidence in my ability to handle whatever I had to deal with in the pregnancy and also the labour itself. To anyone even considering becoming pregnant or currently going through the ‘roller-coaster’ ride…… go to Denby’s classes….. she is an angel sent to share her skill and love with women who deserve kindness and support in this most wonderful of feminine experiences. Thank you Denby, for the unconditional love, support and guidance you gave me from the depth and goodness of your heart. My love and gratitude always.”

“Denby is one of those teachers who leaves an imprint on your soul. She has a unique style that I have not experienced anywhere else during my 20 years of practice – and I have attended many classes with many teachers around the world. Breathing Space is now like my second home because of the welcoming vibe she has created there. She shares her extensive knowledge graciously, on and off the mat, and has this intuitive ability to see and sense exactly what each person needs with their practice, as each class progresses. I often feel like she is reading my mind! She keeps it (and us), real by supporting our growing awareness of ourselves, but also makes things light and fun so we are able to see our human attachments with humour when we need too! OM OM OM!

“There are special people who come into your life and Denby is one of mine. I have been practising Ki Yoga for two and a half years and in this time I have changed from a congested, tight, inflexible being to a very much looser and younger feeling body today. I believe this is from the comprehensive holistic therapy that Denby provides. Each class feels like it has been designed especially for you and always seems to be just what you need at that session, and when talking to others in the class I have found they too, feel the same. I have also had a one-on-one session with nutritional advice and a corrective yoga class. Both have put me on track and helped the menopausal system I had created. Thank you Denby, you’re a true star.”

“Denby is one the few people I know, who has been blessed with finding her true life’s path. She impart to her students through her approach to Yoga and it’s teachings, a natural sense of balance and integrity, which resonates deep within. After one of Denby’s classes, as you head out the door of Breathing Space Yoga Studio to once again face your busy life… a feeling that all is right in the world! perfect! and in order!, stays long after the mats have been rolled up and put away. She is an authentic humble Master.”
Maria
“Denby provides a relaxing, peaceful space in which to come and practice. Her unique style is holistic and leaves you feeling like every part of the body and mind has been attended to. Her knowledge of yoga and the body is a constant inspiration to me. Her adjustments are pure heaven and her warmth and care is tangible in the room. I always come out of Denby’s class feeling loved and nurtured and like anything is possible.”

“What I love most about Denby’s yoga is that it is so DIFFERENT. She is obviously well trained and a dedicated student herself, but she is also a naturally gifted teacher with a powerful energy and voice. No matter what kind of headspace I’m in when I step onto my mat, I feel safe in the knowledge that she is already quietly assessing me, gauging everyone’s energy and sensing what we each need. She manages to blend a wide base of yogic influences and knowledge, with just the right amount of challenge, compassion and humour, leaving everyone completely blissed out and smiling. It’s often very hard to get off the mat and move out of the studio! This is why I keep coming back to her and keep recommending her. You just don’t experience a teacher like this very often.”

“WOW. I recently went to Evolve with some girlfriends and participated in one of Denby’s Sexy Yoga sessions. It was one of the most inspiring classes I have ever done. Her knowledge, delivery, warmth and humour had us all instantly smiling from the inside out! She is an amazing teacher, gifted, kind and her style of yoga has opened my eyes and refreshed my heart and soul. As a yoga teacher myself, it’s often difficult to find someone that speaks to you in such a deep and connected way, or that holds you intuitively, but Denby has this natural affinity with people and yoga… I relaxed immediately, mentally and physically and by the end, had a real sense that my practice had shifted dramatically. I now have a totally new perspective about yoga and how I teach myself, and can’t wait to get her books on Ki Fusion and Sexy Yoga! Thank you Evolve for including Denby in your lineup!”
