GuildfordYoga

Luci is an inspiring yoga teacher. She is innovative and always developing and enhancing her classes. Over 16 years I have regularly attended her workshops, mixed ability classes, holistic yoga and yoga therapy. All her classes are bespoke; tutored by demonstration and clear unambiguous instructions. There is normally a theme or thread to each session and helpful dialogue from Luci to put the movements into context. I have found her classes particularly calming during lock down (and beyond!), particularly breathing exercises to expand and strengthen the lungs and calming the breath for focus and concentration. I recommend Luci and GuildfordYoga highly.

I have been attending Luci's yoga classes for about 10 years and I can't 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.

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. 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 can't recommend Guildford Yoga highly enough.

I have been attending both Luci's classes and workshops for many years and they are always amazing. Luci covers many areas of the body during her classes and really communicates and demonstrates each posture very clearly making sure to take your time. Whether you are going trying yoga for the first time or have been going for a while you will always feel the benefits after a class with Luci. I personally feel my yoga has improved so much and I am much more flexible and continue to see the improvements and benefits from attending Luci’s classes.

I joined Luci's yoga classes in my 70s when my muscles were not strong and in need of encouragement. Luci's excellent blend of thorough balanced workout combined with individual advice as needed has greatly improved my general health and flexibility. I have also enjoyed the classes and made new friends. Valerie Talbot
