Feel like starting yoga, but not sure? Have a read of what my class members say. I've not published one of these for a while, but it's always lovely to hear about personal yoga stories...this was kindly filled in by one of my Tuesday class members.
1. How long have you been practicing yoga?
I attended my first yoga class on October 7th 2014 with my friend Gail, we had been thinking about it for a while.
2. What do you feel you get out of your yoga practice?
I benefit massively from an hour of yoga both physically and mentally, I feel relaxed and chilled out and a lot less stressed. I have a bad knee and I am able to do yoga without pain.
3. How do you feel your life has changed since you have been doing a regular yoga practice?
My posture is better than it was and I particularly benefit from the breathing techniques which I use on a daily basis in my very stressful job. A good nights sleep!
4. What is your favourite posture and why?
I love child's pose - I feel safe, relaxed and warm. I also love cobra and sphinx - they are my new dance moves at friend's nights in.
5. What would you say to someone who is thinking about attending yoga for the first time and a little afraid to take that first step?
Don't hesitate - just come along and see for yourself the great benefits you will achieve. The class is a nice mixture of males and females of various ages and no one is competitive - yoga is not like that. Claire is a delightful teacher and whatever your ailments - this can be accommodated. I wish there was a class every day, I would be there. Claire is twelve out of ten - thank you.
Questions kindly answered by one of our Tuesday class members, who recently began her yoga journey. A joy to read - thank you Julia Nolan x
