Sasha –
Highly recommended!!! It was truly enjoyable well structured course with lots of the home practice which I still do from time to time. I’ve regained my confidence, learnt about the right posture and breathing techniques. It was nice follow up to the beginners course while learning to respect your own limits. My lower back issues as well as carpal tunnel syndrome completely vanished. This was much more then just a course.

As an older lady never having attended a yoga class, I thought this would be a good start, especially as I have been a back pain sufferer for many years. The class was well structured, easy to follow, I learned new breathing techniques and it made me feel very good. If one does the exercises regularly, they really help with mobility and I shall endeavor to carry on learning and improving my physical well being.

I got so much out of this course which has really helped me on my road to recovery following an accident that left me with chronic pain. The instructors and fellow students were brilliant and I really enjoyed every session. It’s given me great exercises to take away for when pain hits too.

This is an excellent course. It taught me how to strengthen and mobilise my back myself. The homework part of the course was brilliant as it really helped to practise at home. I would recommend the course to anyone who experiences back problems.
