Castlemaine Yoga Studio - Testimonials 

"Last year I was doing three classes a week with Cheryl. I like the Iyengar style of yoga because each action is explainable in terms of the body. It´s not a case of 'here´s the pose now do it', each pose is broken down into parts which can almost be practised separately. 

I recently attended a yoga workshop in Melbourne and there were 20 other participants in their 20s and 30s. I was amazed at how supple I have become. Yoga is not a competition but I got quiet satisfaction when the teacher pointed out my handstand to the others."

"I have been going to yoga with Cheryl for over three years. I have been able to achieve improvements in strength, flexibility and general physique that I was not able to achieve with gym and aerobic classes. Cheryl is able to focus on individual needs or problems and develop individualised programs dealing with these. Yoga has helped me deal with the physical and emotional demands of everyday life." 

Dr Karen Martens

"I have been attending classes with Cheryl for a number of years and have felt great benefit from this. Her depth of knowledge and understanding of the body is substantial. I appreciate her ability to tailor postures to individual needs and that her focus is on strength work as well as flexibility. My awareness of my body and the way I move has improved greatly and, as an older class member, I see yoga as an investment for my future health and well being."

Sue Jeavons

"When I moved to Bendigo 18 months ago, I was worried I wouldn’t find a good yoga teacher but I think I’ve learned more from Cheryl than from anyone else. She has obviously thought deeply about how to communicate concepts – and does so at different levels depending on people’s experience. Something as simple as pressing into the floor to stabilise a standing pose, for example, has really improved my yoga. I’ve been told to do that before, but the difference with Cheryl is that she explains how (and why) to do it." 

Nicola Wells

"I came to Cheryl as a last resort with a bad back + a bad attitude. Two years later, my back is stronger + my attitude has improved due to Cheryl's dedication to her students + passion for yoga."
