Yoga-Health is a synthesis of gentle Yoga PLUS recent discoveries of stress-relief technologies such as Feldenkrais, Alexander and Bioenergetics as well as Pilates-type movements which trim the mid-section and strengthen the lower-back. (Interestingly, many are initially from Yoga.)What this means is that instead of straining and sweating for several weeks in classical Yoga, you can experience instant results in terms of flexibility and stress-reduction simply, easily and without straining.

No problem! About a third of our students are referred by doctors, physiotherapists or chiropractors. Actually two of our teachers are doctors andthe majority of students are nurses!We have a lot of success with such things, as well as arthritic conditions, hormonal imbalances and headaches. Do inform your instructor though, so we can keep a special eye on you.
Yes of course. Yogahealth does lend itself well towards pregnancy as it is gentle and nurturing while strengthening and relaxing. Movements can be adapted to suit your growing belly and changing needs. Be sure to either download the "Guidelines for Pregnancy" from this site or ask your instructor for a copy. We recommend that pregnant women join after the first trimester (12 weeks) unless discussed with your doctor first. If your doctor has any queries, they are welcome to call us to discuss any issues further or simply direct them to this website.
No previous levels of fitness or flexibility are required.Classes are easy and gently respectful of all students, irrespective of age, weight or fitness levels. In fact, if you are not fit and flexible, you will be even more delighted at the changes in your body after a single class!

If you have a lime-green tutu with matching flippers...No, seriously though, you can wear anything that you feel comfortable in and that does not restrict your movements. In winter, it is usually a track-suit and just shorts and t-shirt in summer.
We do maintain a secure database of our current students. We use this to help us plan our classes. For example, if you fill out your form and tell us that you have a shoulder problem, then we will schedule some shoulder releases for you during the class. Added to this, we are always researching new methods of healing injured bodies.If we discover something of use to you, we will either email you or give you the information in class. Feel free to sign up for a free YogaHealth newsletter which will keep you informed.
Currently you are welcome to show up to any of the classes. It is a good idea to arrive ten minutes early and to read through “what to expect” first...or even better try out the 4 minute videoor download one of our free ten-minute home-practice classes.
You can begin at any time. Each class stands on its own.Be aware that we run with the school terms...(and lie down in the holidays!)
