helping you get some time out

Hi, I’m Sara Holt. I run An Hour’s Peace classes.

Every Sunday evening I’d be standing in my living room, speed-ironing school uniforms.

I’d been on the go all weekend, trying to be all things to all people, and I still wasn’t done.

With no space to recover, I’d be back at my desk on Monday, my head full before the week even started.

I had good intentions. I’d read the self-care advice. I’d download the wellness apps. But everything else took over.

So next Sunday, I’d be in the same spot, muttering I’d not stopped again.

Eventually, enough was enough! I needed a way to protect some time out, or it would never happen.

So, I looked for a class.

But the only thing I could find was meditation or mindfulness classes. They weren’t my cup of tea.

I just wanted a chance to clear my head and feel like me again.

And that’s where the idea for An Hour’s Peace classes first started...
