BODY YOGA

My aches and pains have become a thing of the past! Since joining Mary at Body Yoga a little over 12 months ago my sciatic pain is non existent. I would not have believed it if somebody told me that Yoga would help in such a positive way. I have finally found the answer to my problem - BODY YOGA! I thought at 56 years of age that I would find yoga more a young person's thing but what a surprise I have had these past 12 months. I so look forward to Tuesday nights knowing that I'll feel re-energised and have the most fabulous sleep that night. Mary is so very patient in explaining all the moves and why we need to do them the correct way. I look forward to many more years of Yoga practice for both my body,mind and soul. Thank you so much Mary. Lyn, Cardinia

I joined Body Yoga with a friend to support her desire to ”give it a go”, little did I know how much I would enjoy it, and how transformational it could be. Mary and her team provide a purpose built environment that is welcoming, and truly designed for every body. From my initial 8 week session, I found I had increased flexibility and was able to try things I never imagined my body could achieve. It aided my weight loss and helped me become pain free after years of [pain in my back, hips and knees. I have tried other places but never felt as welcomed and at home as I do at Body yoga, the teachers are amazing. With ongoing involvement, I've found an increase to my overall health and wellbeing, and amazing increase in flexibility and core strength, muscle definition I couldn't achieve with weights. I also have a level of balance that I can and i'm learnign the skills to managing stress in both my home and work life. Highly recommended kids Yoga classes too!

“I Love Body Beautiful @ Body Yoga! I love the dynamics of the Body Beautiful class moving from pose to pose with no long pauses in-between. We have a brief rest time & then it is back into another pose – I LOVE this continuous energy flow. My body perspires, my muscles stretch, every fibre of my body is energy, is happiness, I am one with the energy flow. Body Beautiful class releases any negative energy & toxins that I may have built up over the week & re energises me for the week ahead. From the warm up to the last pose, slipping under a blankie, eyes closed as we surrender to the bliss of relax/ meditation time. I have been doing yoga on & off for 25 years, I am not the most disciplined of people but Saturday mornings when the rest of the family are all snuggled up in bed I am up & eager to embrace the high energy, demanding poses of Body Beautiful. Pushing yourself to your own personal limits – no ego, no competition – we are all at varying stages of our yoga journeys, like minded people coming together to bend & stretch, perspire, grow & breathe, breathe, breathe. Thank you Body Yoga for sharing your passion for Yoga.” Megan – Narre Warren

I would highly recommend Mary's yoga class to everyone. The only way for me to properly de-stress from a hectic day is to visit Mary's peaceful studio and leave the world behind me. Mary puts a lot of energy into understanding each and every students needs and guides you every step of the way. I personally have really tight hamstrings, which have loosened easily and effortlessly with Mary's guidance. It is truly incredible how something so soothing as a yoga practice can tone and strengthen your body and re-energise your thoughts whilst having such a great time. My 3yr old son partakes in kids yoga and he always looks forward to his class! It's very inspiring when I see him do down-ward facing dog and he doesn't realize that it is actual exercise. I still can't believe Mary can get so many 3-4 year olds to lie quietly all at the same time, she is truly amazing!! I can leave my son and go for a relaxing walk knowing that he is having a wonderful time learning about himself and exercising all at the same time... Give Mary's class a go, you won't be dissapointed, I have been a member for 2.5 years :-))

I have tried a few different yoga teachers and schools but Body Yoga is by far the best. The teachers are caring and passionate about Yoga, the studio is customised including ropes for supported poses and the ambience is peaceful and tranquil - my little escape from the world!
