“I joined Marie at Castleford Yoga some time ago, but work got in the way and as I was struggling to make the class I gave up. I really missed my practice and the benefits I had started to see. When I heard Marie was offering an online membership during lockdown I jumped at the chance to start again….
“I am 63 and for the last few years have been losing mobility to the point I could not get up or down onto the floor. I have also had a fractured spine this year, and been diagnosed with Fibromyalgia and osteoarthritis, I thought that I would continue to lose mobility and then I heard about Castleford Yoga. I…
“I have been attending yoga classes regularly for the last 4 and a half years. Having lived in Leeds, Huddersfield and Wakefield district during this time I have had the opportunity to try many different yoga teachers. At Castleford yoga the classes are held in a welcoming and friendly environment with small class numbers and are suitable for all levels. Marie…
“I started attending Marie’s classes 9 months ago partly by chance and partly by design. I’ve long been intrigued by yoga and it’s benefits, but never found anywhere suitable. No one had classes on at the right times and the thought of attending a yoga class with hyper bendy, lycra clad, yoga-istas didn’t appeal. Then my wife stumbled upon…
“Yoga classes can often seem a little bit competitive, with everyone trying to be the most bendy, or else they are taught too fast and with little attention paid to form, as the instructor whizzes through moves he/she has done a million times with very little instruction, leaving you confused and frustrated, or just generally feeling you didn’t get…
“I have practised yoga with Marie and find her an excellent teacher. I came back to yoga after many years and had lost a lot of my strength and flexibility. Marie’s teaching style led me back in safely, giving gentle and clear directions at a level that pushed me to discover and develop my abilities. Marie teaches in a…
“I’d never tried yoga before attending one of Marie’s classes because, to be honest, I didn’t think it was for me. I’m not particularly flexible, so I’d never be able to engage with yoga, right? Wrong! Marie’s class was structured so that people with different capabilities could easily take part and enjoy yoga. I wasn’t the best at getting into…
“I have decided to try Yoga classes with Marie having already some yoga experience beforehand. I wasn’t sure if I can learn anything new but I did. Marie pays attention to all student’s needs always patiently explaining details of very new yoga pose but also helping to improve and eliminate all the bad habits one may already have. Very…
“I have always found yoga frustrating before taking classes with Marie because I wasn’t sure whether I was doing the poses right. I have found Marie’s hands-on classes very helpful because by correcting me I felt what a massive difference doing a pose correctly makes on your body. She would also modify poses and breathing techniques to match my…
“Can I say that I am very much enjoying the yoga you are teaching us. I truly believe it is helping me and making me more conscious of my posture and how my body feels. I think the balance between relaxation, breathing techniques and moves is perfect for me. In my opinion because we are a small class it’s so much…
