Course testimonials:
- 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.
- 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.
- Bernie is inspiring, professional and the perfect caring teacher encouraging us to reach our goals
- Bernie gave me confidence as a beginner that I could do this. I look forward to her classes each week.
- 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.
- Bernie has a very strong following as evidenced by the number of participants in my class. She is an excellent teacher.
- Brilliant course & brilliant professional and sensitive tutor - that’s why we return!
- This is perfect for me. I have already recommended it to similar aged friends.
- The course went well this term with social distancing. Bernie conducts an excellent course and fully understands that there are varying physical issues within the class. No one is made to feel embarrassed if they can't quite complete the fully stretch.
- Experienced trainer, pleasant environment. Always varied.
