Green Tree Yoga

Feb 28th, 2023

Contrary to popular belief, yoga isnt the mere process of performing a variety of stretches on a mat, no, though part of it, the word yoga is derived from the Sanskrit root 'Yuj', meaning 'to join' or 'to yoke' or 'to unite'. It is a group of physical, mental, and spiritual practices which originated in ancient India that aims to quieten our thoughts, freeing them from mundane suffering; and thus bringing about perfect harmony between the mind and body; man and nature. Ive been going to Green Tree Yoga for half a year now, and I must say I look forward to practising yoga with Shardy every week. It is a welcoming experience from the very moment you step afoot in her beautiful garden that must be traversed to reach the yoga studio at the back. The yoga studio is always clean and never too hot or cold. The background music is calming, and the view out onto the garden is gorgeous. It is especially beautiful at the end of practice when the rays of sunlight pass in between the leaves and form kaleidoscopic patterns of reds and oranges on our closed eyelids. Shardy is a wonderful yoga teacher, always radiating warmth and love. She is caring, always asking us about our day; always asking us if the yoga moves arent causing too much pain and is always ready to tactfully adjust practices on an individual basis so no one feels left out. Her yoga and biological knowledge are extensive. And thanks to her, I am a lot more flexible and in less overall pain. I have seen a lot of personal progress since going to Green Tree Yoga, but progress has not only been in the physical realm. After every session I feel a great sense of peace and oneness with everything around me. The mental chatter quietens and my day feels brighter, less stressful. What Shardy teaches at Green Tree Yoga is real yoga. To help people both physically, mentally and spiritually is exceptionally precious. To help instil peace in another being is the definition of love. In a world where nearly everything tries to drain your energy and cause mental and physical suffering, I feel extremely blessed to have stumbled upon someone and something that gives me energy. My mother and girlfriend, both of who also go to Green Tree Yoga, also agree with me. Thank you Shardy for teaching us yoga. Namaste.

Having recently moved to the area, I was looking for a new local yoga class and am delighted to have discovered Green Tree Yoga. Shardy is a wonderful teacher, encouraging and attentive, offering a warm welcome and a lovely calm environment to practise. I love being physically challenged, but safe knowing there is always an adaptation to a pose if I cant quite get there. Lessons are a perfect blend of physically engaging and mentally rewarding and I always leave the studio feeling stronger and lighter. Best of all is the variety of lessons. Being able to choose the challenge and vibe that suits me each week is perfect. Wouldnt hesitate to recommend!
