Course testimonials:
- Wonderful teacher, great group, excellent exercise for the body and mind.
- This is perfect for me. I have already recommended it to similar aged friends.
- I really enjoyed the Yoga over 50's course with Bernadette who is by far the most experienced Yoga teacher I've ever had. As an added bonus a chronic shoulder problem improved significantly within a few weeks of starting this course.
- Bernie is an amazing, generous and intuitive teacher. She is so supportive of all levels.
- What would we have done without our favourite yoga teacher, Bernie, this difficult year? She kept us going online and, thankfully, back face to face. Wonderful teacher, wonderful person.
- Bernadette is a great teacher. She did a wonderful job on Zoom throughout Covid. Varies the program each week.
- I enjoy the knowledge that I am getting some appropriate exercise, that works muscles that I didn't know I had ! I feel the benefit.
- Bernie is excellent. We flow from one exercise to the next without really realising how you get there. Feel the benefits to the body.
- Another successful term of Yoga on Zoom with Bernie. Venue rating was 5 as I was in the comfort of my home. But, looking forward to being able to be back face-to-face at Warringah Bowling Club.
- An excellent class for over 50's as there is no pressure to keep up if you are unable to do any particular hold. The instructor is excellent and explains each move with total clarity. The class feels like it moves at a perfect pace for over 50's.
