Real life impact
What matters most is the change yoga can make to your every day life. And we can’t predict that, because you are unique.
Here are just a few example of the difference yoga has made to people in your community.
”I enjoy the connection with others and exercising in a non-judgemental environment.
”I thought yoga was just for gym bunnies, I have had my eyes opened.
”When I joined this project I couldn't get in or out of the bath, now I can. I am able to climb stairs easier and find getting up from my seat easier.
”What I enjoyed about the course was being in a safe space, welcomed and cared for. Being able to work at my own level and pace. Seeing an instructor that ‘looks like me’.
”I have enjoyed the social gathering and the help for my mind, body and spirit.
”The exercise is fun and it's made a real difference to my joint pain and a substantial difference to my sleep.
