Course testimonials:

  • Bernadette is a wonderful and highly experienced instructor. It always is a pleasure to attend her sessions, enjoy the class atmosphere and learn something new every time.
  • Bernie is extremely professional and ensures positions are executed correctly.
  • Now that I am semi-retired I have the time to enjoy the 1.5 hour class with Bernie. I have for many years used the gym to keep fit but now realise that effort must be accompanied with yoga classes in order to maximise mobility, flexibility and strength. Currently this is my fourth term in Bernie's class and I would recommend it to anyone looking to improve their health and wellbeing.
  • I love Bernie’s classes. I have fibromyalgia and receive great benefit from attending.
  • Great teacher and just the right type of yoga.
  • I like this group as it is not large and hearing the instructor is not a problem. I enjoy the activity as it is (mostly) within my ability, but provides the activity I need and benefit from. It is socially enjoyable and the trainer is friendly and helpful. Location convenient for me.
  • The serious approach which caters for all comers is much appreciated.
  • Bernie is a fantastic teacher. I feel calm and relaxed after the session.
  • The pace and variation is just right
  • Bernie, as always, is brilliant. Can’t wait to return
