"I started yoga as I wanted to tone up and lose weight. However, I’ve realised it is so much more than that. It’s helped me sort out all kinds of niggly aches and pains, improved my flexibility, fitness levels, posture and has even helped me to sleep better. The biggest benefit – and most surprising to me – has been the mental outcome. I find it relaxes me and is a huge stress reliever. It has also sharpened my focus, while helping me achieve a new level of serenity in certain situations. It may all sound a bit 'new-agey', but it is true and I am delighted that I started. Also, the pace of the class, the teachers and the dynamics between the participants, present a great balance between being challenging and supportive. I highly recommend Papakura Yoga" - Justine
