"I would recommend anyone to come to a yoga class and have a go. I only began about nine months ago, my breathing has improved, I feel more supple even though I have arthritis in both my knees, and I always feel better for having done it. Come and have a go its BRILLIANT !!!!" Mo
"I have a sore back, which often is very tight - I can feel the difference the yoga exercises have made already after a few weeks." Amanda
"My mental well being has improved and I am less likely to feel stressed at work." Lesley
"For years I've suffered with back problems and since doing yoga with the stretching techniques it's improved dramatically. Things like gardening and looking after my 1year old Grandson are so much easier." Jane
"I really enjoy coming to yoga and wish I had done it years ago, I always thought it was for slim people and as I am overweight thought I couldn't do it I have quite surprised myself. I even find I want to practice it at home." Jude
"I practically float out of the class each week as I feel totally relaxed & very mellow!" Kate
