Course testimonials:

  • Friendly atmosphere
  • Excellent individual attention: classes and exercises were differentiated for each individual student according to their needs and abilities.
  • I think this is an excellent Yoga class. the teacher is clear with her instructions, very reliable, and personable and gives individual help and advice when necessary.
  • The Zoom classes worked well during the covid lockdown and socially isolating restrictions. They were very efficiently planned and run. I am, however, looking forward to the face to face classes next term in that there is a "vibe" in the group situation.
  • I would highly recommend this Yoga class; it is well run, well planned yet personalised and friendly. The teacher is excellent, very skilled and with a good understanding of each individual's capabilities.
  • These Yoga classes are excellent therapy and exercise that can be done at your own pace and according to your own needs and capabilities. The teacher, Bernadette, plans the lessons well and is very helpful and mindful of the individuals and their needs or limitations.
  • Bernie is lovely - the classes change each week, they are interesting and varied and she is also so nice and helpful.
  • Vicky is an outstanding teacher. She tailors each session to the individual needs of those present. It is a pleasure to take part in her classes
  • I found that doing the yoga class increased my core strength, balance and flexibility. It was much better than I thought it would be.
  • I love this course because it works well with anyone in my age group, incorporates beneficial stretches and postures, combines breathing with the yoga movements, relaxation at the end of the evening. The session is paced well enough that one feels like you have been pushed, but never over-demanding. Vikki is a great instructor and works well with individual needs.
