Course testimonials:
- Our teacher Bernie is excellent as is evident with class numbers growing.
- I just love every bit of the 1.5 hour session. In particular I am most impressed with our trainer, Bernadette - always on hand to assist with the various yoga poses - and full of encouragement.
- I always feel fantastic after the yoga class. My body and mind loves it.
- 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.
- I enjoy everything about this class. Bernie is an excellent yoga instructor and her class is perfect for the not so young. I also enjoy the coffee afterwards with my lovely yoga friends.
- Bernie is a fantastic teacher. She tailors our yoga perfectly considering our age, health problems and ability. I always feel a tremendous lift while doing the yoga sessions with her and a definite gain in my fitness from it. Yesterday, I took the first Zoom class, which was fun despite a couple of glitches and although it will never replace being with friends and being taught by Bernie, it was a good substitute in these uncertain times.
- Great teacher and just the right type of yoga.
- This was my first term for learning yoga, Bernadette is an excellent teacher. I will definitely be back next term.
- The yoga always helps me feel invigorated in mind & body & I have formed a special friendship with a group of women who have been doing it together for over 10years.
- The whole experience was friendly and exercises appropriate for my age group. I like being part of a small group
