Testimonials
Testimonial Rosie Smith "In everyday modern life we are constantly being encouraged to push; to push ourselves to exercise harder and to push through the often difficult symptoms associated with PMS. It was refreshing at the Women’s Wellness workshop to learn that during times of stress (such as PMS) it is acceptable and even more beneficial to pull back and to adjust our practice accordingly to best serve how we are feeling on the day and stage in our menstrual cycle. An exercise in mindfulness, modifications for postures and group discussion were great ways to explore how we as women can use yoga practice to improve our wellbeing. The comprehensive handout given to us to take away is also a fantastic resource to have and to use when practicing at home.”
Testimonial J. Walter-Kerr " I thoroughly enjoyed the Iyengar Yoga Women's Workshop which the two Wendys ran recently. The health information, the one-on-one attention as we went through the various poses and some giggles made the time very valuable. As the oldest woman there I thought it might be a waste of my time and I would not cope but absolutely not! I learnt a great deal and was able to participate fully. I wholeheartedly recommend it to all women as the two Wendys are caring, knowledgeable and encouraging".
