Thank you to the students who have provided these comments. I get such a buzz to hear how yoga adds to each of your lives in diverse ways.
Thankyou so much Carolyn for my introduction to my new world of Yoga. The Riverview class in the boatshed, is just wonderful and being a Mum from the school, incredibly convenient. Although, my son is getting used to being driven to school on Yoga days and so he is also very supportive of my new found joy! The Riverview class is very welcoming and supportive. I am very new to Yoga and yet I have never felt self conscious or ‘out of my depth’. Post Yoga coffees are also an unexpected treat. Namaste

Carolyn’s yoga class is about so much more then stretching and exercise, (the original reason I started yoga 10 years ago). In the beautiful setting on the harbour with a friendly accepting environment, it is an hour and a half of body, mind and soul……me time. For me, it is sanity in a sometimes insane world. After an hour and a half of practice I feel well balanced, stretched, refreshed and so happy. ……Bliss.

“Since starting at Namaste at Northbridge Yoga I could really feel the effects, both in my muscles but also that it was giving me extra energy – to get through my day and the 3 sessions of tennis I play each week. After 1 term of regular practice I can notice increased mobility in my spine and shoulders.
Yoga has surprised me in that it has made me more aware of my own feelings, my responses to others and the sense of calm it has created within me. I seem to accept irritating things but don’t seem to react as negatively as much. I also don’t feel any competition to keep up with more advanced poses as everyone is on their own journey and I know, with practice, I may get there one day.
All of the senses are awakened in the class: from the aroma of incense as you walk in, indicating the class is about to start to the sound of the gentle bell that lets you know the meditation is finishing.
Carolyn’s knowledge really impresses me, evidence of many years of professional study. Her manner is gentle but firm and positive.”

Thank you for a lovely morning and Happy 5th Birthday Caz. What state would my body be in without the past five years of your Yoga class?
It certainly has kept me flexible. Without your class I am sure osteoarthritis might have won!

I wanted to let you know I really enjoyed your yoga class. Your gentle encouragement and acceptance of each person’s individual level was very comforting for me as a beginner. I feel as though I can grow and develop at a realistic pace going forward.I also feel more, fluid and flexible than I have felt for some time – Thank you so much.

Yoga with Carolyn was the best part of my day, she was the most amazing, natural teacher and I learnt so much in every class. She taught me not only the fundamentals of yoga with grace and humour, but imbued each lesson with clarity and calm that would sustain me for the rest of the week. She is an inspirational teacher who provides a true union of body, mind and soul in a beautiful practice. It is sadly only geography that keeps me away!

Carolyn is a truly gifted and generous yoga teacher. She creates an environment where individuals can safely challenge, stretch and strengthen themselves- both physically and mentally.
Carolyn’s clear instruction, gentle encouragement and use of music make participation in her classes an absolute pleasure. Carolyn’s genuine interest and concern for each student allows individuals to strive to work to their capacity, irrespective of what yoga level that may be. The benefits of continuing yoga practice have surprised and changed me. Rather than aiming to ‘master’ a particular pose, I have come to realise through Carolyn’s classes that yoga provides a path to ongoing physical, emotional and mental wellbeing.

“I love the location and love the sense of both rejuvenation and restoration that I feel, along with the feeling of increased strength that I feel at the conclusion of your classes. I love also that we can make the class as easy or hard as we so choose”
Louise, Northbridge
“I am LOVING the yoga class…I love that you are so knowledgeable – I have not had as much trust in other instructors when I have done yoga previously, as I do in you. It is really a fabulous class and I find I get so much out of it and I find I can push myself just a little more each week so it just gets better!”

“I was one of those people who always knew that Yoga was probably a very good thing to do but for one reason or another was too scared/too busy to ever try. I started as an absolute beginner with Carolyn at Namaste at Northbridge a year and a half ago to give it a go for a while, and am hooked. It’s great exercise – both harder and easier than I would have thought – as well as great fun. Carolyn is divine – the perfect teacher – and the venue is so calm peaceful. I finish every class not only feeling like I’ve had a great workout, but much more energised and alive – it’s true!”
