BODY WISE YOGA TESTIMONIALS:
Lynn is a brilliant teacher. As a newcomer to Yoga, l am strongly benefiting from the very clear way she explains and demonstrates move techniques along with their rationale. I am feeling improvement to my neck, shoulders and back in my day to day movement. I look forward to continuing my progress in her relaxed but focused classes and recommend Lynn to anyone, no matter their level of Yoga experience. Gregg
‘I found out about Lynn’s new Body Wise Yoga classes from a friend and signed up, as it has been something that I’ve intended to return to since attending yoga classes over 10 years ago. I have found Lynn’s classes both relaxing and challenging and after a 10 week course I’m really looking forward to continuing and advancing my yoga with her. She explains the benefits of every pose and makes sure we are holding the postures correctly. Her classes are small and intimate and everyone is encouraged to work at their own pace. She has a very soothing voice which is lovely during the relaxation. Since returning to yoga I have found that as long as I practise regularly, I am totally free of the neck and shoulder tension which used to plague me every day. Mentally I am more focused and the more I practise, the more convinced I am that I will continue to make yoga part of my everyday life. Another bonus is that I seem to have grown, or at least regained the height I once enjoyed. As my saucepan rack, which my husband had hung at a height to suit my build and which I used to be able to reach, but just recently could no longer reach, is now back within my reach! Which is amazing, too! After a class with Lynn I feel so much calmer, I am sleeping better and I am noticing that my inner core strength is definitely improving. Although I practise at home on my own, there is no substitute for a regular yoga session with a teacher you trust, and I think I have found my Guru!’ Sharon
“Lynn is special because she tailors the asanas (postures) to our very differing abilities - I know I will not just have to stand and watch the others if there is a position I cannot physically cope with; she will always provide me with an easier alternative, and tactfully too!.” Jill
I have come back to yoga after many years and I absolutely love Lynn’s classes. Her teaching is the most holistic I have ever come across - helping you to understand and connect with your body through the positions but also to get in touch with what your mind is doing at the same time! She has really opened my eyes to different patterns of thinking / being which have been of great benefit to me. Thank you so much Lynn! Susan
“I joined Lynn's Body Wise Yoga class as yoga is something I've always wondered about. I'm really enjoying the classes, what is so good is we all work at our own ability. Lynn explains everything clearly, you really don't notice anyone else as your mind is concentrated on the yoga. I have found in the short time I've been coming to this class I'm more aware of my posture, I find it very calming. I would recommend yoga to anyone.” Julia
"I have been attending drop-in yoga classes occasionally for a few years and had reached a plateau of doing ok but not challenging myself. Then I started Lynn's class. Since attending her classes my yoga practice has really started to develop. I feel as if I am learning more and improving. It's amazing to find I am getting better within weeks. I am thoroughly enjoying myself." Sally
“I wasn’t sure how I would take to yoga, but I’m glad I gave Lynn’s Body Wise Yoga classes a go as I am really enjoying them, and the results! Lynn has a calm, friendly and caring approach and guides us in and out of the postures clearly and safely. She is very supportive of each of us no matter what our ‘beginner level’. My posture has improved; I feel fitter, have more energy and am more relaxed as a result of attending her classes.” Lynn
“This yoga class has outstripped all my expectations, it is good for me in so many ways and I really enjoy it." Dawn
“I finally took the plunge this September in restarting Yoga and am so pleased it was with Lynn. Lynn seems very knowledgeable in all things ‘yoga’, and is calm and kind yet firmly instructs us. Although early days, I have noticed that I’m more aware of my breathing and love being stretched! I’m sure we all enjoy and benefit greatly from our Yoga, especially if we practise at home, too!” Jane

I'm a beginner. I contacted Lynn to ask if she felt yoga could help Improve my fitness and flexibility and also help dispel the ‘blues’. She confirmed it would be beneficial for all. Twelve weeks in and I agree. I feel so much better in myself and can feel the improvements week by week. I have booked up for the next course.

After my lesson I find I have greater mobility in my joints and also I am in less pain. The lessons are enjoyable and I feel my posture and well-being is improving each week. I am reassured that I am doing the postures correctly so I know I am getting the full benefit of doing the practice.” Liz
Lynn is a wonderful teacher, thoughtful and she carefully guides us through all the postures. Since doing her classes, I have had no pain whatsoever from arthritis in my neck and my strength and stamina have greatly improved. Very highly recommended. Jane B
Lynn is very knowledgeable and explains each posture thoroughly. Since joining her class several years ago, I find I am more flexible and stronger, Couldn't rate Lynn highly enough. Justine
Lynn is an extraordinary yoga teacher - her warmth, compassion and knowledge are exemplary, and it's no wonder that her classes are so popular! Early on, I felt as though I'd met my own personal guru and that feeling continues to strengthen - attending Lynn's class is enriching and rewarding every time and I'm a stronger human for it. Aran
Lynn is a fantastic, knowledgeable teacher. She encourages you to work at your own pace and is happy to explain anything you don’t understand. The meditation at the end of each class makes you leave feeling energised. Natasha
I love Thursdays, I leave Bodywise feeling happier and more peaceful. Lynn is great and always provides an explanation to medical benefits of postures, her love for Yoga is definitely transferred on to us. Thanks Lynn. Nathalie
Lynn is a very thorough, thoughtful and welcoming yoga teacher. She explains each pose - what it’s good for and how to ensure it’s performed correctly which is great. Options are also given to progress poses further if you wish allowing everyone to adjust the class to their own comfortable level. Classes are peaceful, calming, friendly and non judgemental. Lynn’s classes will definitely leave you feeling relaxed and revitalised but without any doubt that you’ve just done a good full body work out when finished! Nina
Having tried previous yoga groups, Lynn’s Body Wise Yoga classes are certainly the most informative and beneficial and I have been attending for several years. As group size is limited, Lynn is able to keep a careful overview to ensure that safe postures are maintained and she adapts poses for individual pupils if necessary. Essentially, the classes are cheerful and welcoming and especially so for those who lack yoga confidence. Sue
This has been my first experience with yoga. Lynn is very good, knowledgeable, provides the right level of guidance in a nice environment. I've signed up again. Graham
I joined one of Lynn's classes 18 months ago as a complete beginner. Lynn explains and demonstrates everything extremely clearly and encourages everyone to work at their own pace. I feel energised at the end of every class! Thank you Lynn. Julie
