Testimonials

I have been doing classes with Andrea for many years now. My back pain has vastly improved and the mobility in my injured shoulder is amazing. I love the feeling at the end of the session when I noticeably feel my body stretched and relaxed and my mind calmed.

I currently do the online classes usually 4-5 times a week as I can easily access them at home at a time that is convenient . I have also bought a travel yoga mat so that I can complete classes when I am on holiday.

Andrea is a great teacher who has so much knowledge and understanding of the impact that the exercise has on the body. No pressure in lessons which are suitable for all ages and abilities. I recommend to really stick with the practice and get to know the different techniques and poses to get the most out of the classes. I can’t thank Andrea enough.

I have been attending Andrea’s classes for many years, her classes are varied and interesting. She always stresses to work to your own level, also stressing it is just as important to rest and give your body time to recover, as it is to exercise. Her classes are very enjoyable, always giving clear instructions, and explaining exactly why each pose is beneficial. I hope to attend for many more years.

Lesley A

I have been attending Andrea’s yoga for many years. When I first joined I could not raise my arm over my shoulder but over the years I have now achieved full mobility all credited to Andrea. I have also got a subtle transformation in my body shape. After surgical procedures, I always feel comfortable returning to class because I know I can take part and work to my own level, without pressure.
