1. • “I really loved the yoga on a physical and emotional level, this year has been hard for me my mother died in May and i lost my job iI have been trying to let go of old emotional attachments and practicing some self identity, I have really enjoyed the benefits of the relaxation and guide to meditation which i would like to practice more, settling of the mind and chatter in the brain. The physical side has also been great to get the energy moving in the body; I have loved it. Another thing I have been struggling with giving up smoking although not a committed smoker i would still do this on occasions, this has stopped completely strengthening of the will I think”

1. •... let me thank you for a wonderful year of Yoga.  I always looked forward to each session and come away feeling much better and more focused.  You have definitely helped me get through a difficult year. 
   

1. •I just wanted to thank you so much for the wonderful session yesterday. I had the best sleep I've had for ages last night and when I got up this morning my very painful abductor was so much better! My body and mind are very grateful!
   

2. •I experience an overall calmness to body & mind; general body aches have gone.
   

3. •“I am just completing my first 10 weeks of the Beginners course at Yoga for You. The yoga has been very beneficial for me - head-aches have dropped away, my back is stronger and more stable, and awareness of my breathing has increased as I have learnt to use it to gently massage my spine. I am also calmer and more flexible. Pavitra, our down-to-earth teacher, guides us gently and with humour through the easy physical and mental exercises. The studio is light, cosy, and clean. Class sizes are small. I recommend this teacher and yoga style.”
   

4. •Yoga Nidra (a deep guided relaxation usually done at the end of class)

1. •I just want to say thank you for such a warm and enlightening experience with you in your yoga classes. I always left each class feeling so much better, and you are a natural instructor! When I'm back in NZ, I'll definitely come by for some more of your magic!  The breathing you taught has definitely paid off in my singing lessons!
