GuildfordYoga — Local services in Guildford

I've been doing yoga with Luci for two years following retirement. For the first year I did yoga therapy class once a week. I chose that class as I had a frozen shoulder with limited mobility. In the last year I also joined the holistic yoga class as my shoulder and general mobility had greatly improved. This is what I sent to Luci a couple of months ago - "I played nine holes of golf yesterday with my two lads. First time out in nearly a year. Despite giving them the best part of 30 years, I won relatively comfortably with my lowest score ever. My swing was very good with plenty of flexibility in my hips, back and shoulders - thanks to Yoga!" Yoga has also helped my focus on my general well being. I have changed my diet and have lost over two stone in weight resulting in normal range blood pressure and reduced diabetes medication. I would encourage more men to do yoga - it's more of a challenge than you would think and enormously beneficial. Luci is a great teacher. She takes a real interest in all of her students and offers variations in some of the poses to suit different abilities.

I am just so glad that I took it up and persevered in the first year. I can't recommend Guildford Yoga...

These classes are great for releasing tense muscles and increasing flexibility and are now my favourites. My lower back and shoulders are looser than they've been for a very long time.

The best bit is there are also recorded sessions so I'm not just tied to the timing of a scheduled class and can also have a regular Sunday morning treat.

Since covid started I transferred to Luci's online classes which works really well for me, especially during the winter when it's a real bonus to be at home in the warm. And no travel time! My strength and suppleness has improved considerably over the last 5 years.

Luci is a brilliant teacher who pays close attention to the abilities (and, where applicable, injuries or other limitations) of each member of the class. Her thorough academic training in physiology is a...
