I like the variety and range of the exercises to suit both beginners and intermediates. I find the breathing exercises most beneficial especially as I can do them at home after a stressful day at work. I have not been to many different yoga classes however I find Alka's approach very professional and at the same time very approachable.

Good variation. Suitable for all abilities. Yoga keeps me supple and toned and helps with general well being
Norma

I find Yoga very relaxing and it has been very beneficial to a lower back problem. I also find Alka puts you at ease and does not push you too much when you cannot do a certain position.
Anne

I like the fact that the positions seem gentle but are quite challenging. I am not a natural exercise person and find yoga satisfies my need to exercise whilst making me feel happy and relaxed. Having said that, it is not an easy ride some of the positions are difficult. I have never stuck at an exercise regime in my life and I have been coming to the classes for two years now I think that speaks for itself!
Ruth

I have found that my posture has considerably improved and general upper body strength has also improved as a result of attending the classes. The classes are very good as I feel I have done a proper workout afterwards. We also get individual assistance from Alka with various postures and this is really good.

I enjoy the stretching and concentration. It makes me stop thinking about the things I should have done or have to do at work.

I enjoy and look forward to Alka's yoga: I consider it as my weekly treat. The whole atmosphere is positive and peaceful.
Doing the asanas with other people is quite different from doing them on my own and Alka encourages going that bit further than I would if I were on my own holding the positions an extra few seconds, and with breathing moving a few centimetres further into the asana.

Plus, I love all the extra touches that Alka uses to make the sessions enjoyable: the soft music, the candles and delicate incense used during the relaxation at the end of the asanas.
It has benefited my life in that my health has improved: I have more energy, my general sense of well being has been heightened, I have better posture, my balance has improved and the breathing exercises help me with relaxation and I find them very helpful for my practice of prayer/meditation. Plus, to my surprise, without even noticing it over a span of one year, I have dropped a trouser size.

It had increased my flexibility, I've stiffened up a bit since not attending because of heart attacks, but I look forward to attending the class again soon.
Richard

It helps me to calm down and get ready to face the next week. It has also helped me focus more in life
Vicky

I like the pace of the class. I had a pre-conception that things may be a little slow and easy going and you maybe wouldn't get a great work out, but from doing Alka's classes I feel that I am able to have a good all over body work out. I really like the relaxation part too, with the candles lit and lights off - it's very calming. I think it's good that you keep an eye on us all, correcting us where needed. Some instructors can seem to be a little self-focused, like they are just doing it so they have a work out. I also think the little tips you give us i.e. relaxation techniques we can use during our daily living.
Claire

It keeps me supple, my stress levels certainly decrease as a result of the classes and according to my chiropractor, and I have had less back problems since taking up yoga. It has also helped me to meet many fantastic people!
Jade

It's hard work, but very rewarding, my posture is so much better now.
Lorraine

I feel that yoga is always challenging me and is not too easy. On the other hand it is never too difficult and allowance is made for all levels. I feel I am more flexible, with better posture and it gives me confidence about ageing gracefully and being able to remain stable and coordinated.
Janet

I enjoy Alka's yoga because the balance into one-hour classes is divided into postures, breathing and relaxation, which improve our movement and stamina.
Claudia

At 8pm on a Wednesday I feel more relaxed than any other time of the week. Yoga has helped me with back and neck problems.
Teresa

Yoga eases all my muscle pains; I find it very relaxing and good toning.
Vick

The class has a good variety of moves, which helps different parts of the body. Generally I feel good on a Sunday evening. Relaxed and ready for Monday mornings.
Bhupinder

Enjoy knowing that it is improving my health and well-being. I have become calmer & gradually happier.
Tessa

Yoga is helping me to relax at a very stressful time, it has increased my flexibility. I enjoy the stretching and different postures we try.
Mel

Yoga helps me to relax, overall health benefits and increased flexibility. Helps to switch off from everyday worries.
