GuildfordYoga - (Near Surrey, UK)

5 /5 Neil Dunstan: Id been a regular student at Lucis Mixed Ability classes for many years when, just out of interest, I tried one of her Thursday evening holistic / restorative classes. They have an emphasis on stretching and breathing but are fully supported so require little strength - and its easy to hold the postures for the best results. These classes are great for releasing tense muscles and increasing flexibility and are now my favourites. My lower back and shoulders are looser than theyve been for a very long time. The best bit is there are also recorded sessions so Im not just tied to the timing of a scheduled class and can also have a regular Sunday morning treat. Thoroughly recommended!

5 /5 Faith Cooke: I have been attending Lucis yoga classes for about 10 years and I cant praise her enough. Her classes are always fun and she takes great care to ensure the safety of all the class participants, taking into account their various strengths and being very sensitive to any injuries they have. She is always encouraging and is very good at working on all parts of the body. Her instructions are very clear and she is an extremely professional and knowledgeable teacher.

5 /5 Fiona Yeomans: Since covid started I transferred to Lucis online classes which works really well for me, especially during the winter when its 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 big plus too.

5 /5 neil hamilton fairley: Lucis instruction in Yoga is brilliant. Each class is unique and thoughtfully put together. The instructions and explanations given are always clear, so even over webcam you know what you are doing and why. I had not done yoga before and Lucis insights into any mistakes that I have made have always been really valuable in correcting my practice. The classes themselves are friendly, with a fun and peaceful atmosphere that often stays with you after each session.

5 /5 Graham Harvey-Browne: Ive 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 - its 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. One of her favourite sayings is You are as young as your spine and at 64 mine is a lot more supple than it was when I started with none of the recurring lower back pain that I used to get. I am just so glad that I took it up and persevered in the first year. I cant recommend Guildford Yoga highly enough.
