I started attending Johns yoga classes about 10 months ago. Back then, I attended one and sometimes two classes a week, but now I attend all three most weeks. John is a fantastic yoga teacher. He's able to facilitate the class so its suitable for beginners and more advanced yogis, and he explains all the poses thoroughly, as well as advises on modifications to suit all abilities. Ive learnt so much about yoga in this time, and my practice has improved considerably. From a physical perspective, I've seen improvements in my strength, flexibility, and balance which I had big challenges with. Additionally, yoga is a very mindful exercise essentially, its hard to think about anything else whilst practicing it, so as a result, i find it excellent for stress management and resilience. If youre thinking about taking up a yoga practice, I cannot recommend Johns classes enough.

I have been attending John's classes for little over 11 months now, and they are exactly what I need to either start a Saturday, or finish on a Wednesday or Thursday. John is a very experienced instructor, who explains and demonstrates every pose with clarity. John also demonstrates adjustments for individuals who may not be able to perform the pose in full; ensuring everyone feels included and that they can participate. I highly recommend these classes no matter what level you are at.

I started yoga with John over a year ago and have been a regular Thursday attendee since. Having been to many different classes and experienced many different instructor styles, I am happy to have, at last found a class that ticks all the boxes for me. I think its fair to say Im not a beginner, but Ive also had years out of yoga for one reason or another, and so had lost flexibility and strength. Its nice to be back in a class where the instructor is able to accommodate new comers, that are then able to progress by providing enough alternative poses until flexibility and strength is developed. I feel challenged in class, but can also see and feel how I have had many breakthroughs already. The classes have helped with weight loss, strength, concentration, my mental health, and the terrible shoulder pain I was experiencing prior to starting has now all but gone. Some perseverance with ones self is needed for the first few weeks in terms of self discipline, but once I pushed past this I became hooked again very quickly. I wont be going anywhere, anytime soon, as my Thursday evenings are well spent with John and the rest of the very friendly class. : )
