When I turn from Lynnwood into Brooks Street I already feel calmness entering my body and my mind, knowing Monday- or Friday-Yoga with Helen is soon about to begin! Since Helen took over the Monday afternoon class from Charl and also teaches on late Friday afternoons, I truly feel the benefits from yoga (in body and mind), whether its through her perfect voice, her flowing, beautifully-elaborated work-out program or her wonderful nature and personality, combined with the lovely ambience prevailing in the yoga studio in Brooks Street, all this has helped me to cope better with high stress levels and to teach my body to be more active (even if my body does lack flexibility) and to actually like it!! The atmosphere in which yoga is taught is really great. I would hate having to do yoga in a cold, impersonal hall or gym setting!

Since I started yoga two years ago I have felt more and more 'together'. My general health has definitely improved and I don't get the headaches and sniffles that used to plague me. I've also lost weight. It is crazy that such a gentle activity can have such a major positive impact on my life. Thank you, Yoga Connection

When I retired at 65 four years ago I joined the beginners classes at Yoga Connection. What a joy! I don't miss a class if it is at all possible. Not sure if I could even get up off the floor, I was accepted unconditionally and in a non-judgmental way allowed to do as much as I could. Now my body is in a better condition functionally and my spirit enriched in a way that makes it easier to practice my Christianity. I will never be able to do a headstand and will remain in beginners, but I love the challenges that keep popping up

Preggie Yoga really helped me with my third child. If only I had been aware of it with my first two!

Yoga means everything to me. It gives me a good physical workout, but also has benefitted me on an emotional and spiritual level greatly. Charene is a gifted, inspirational and generous teacher. She is a blessing in my life.

I practised yoga several years ago then, due to many factors, stopped. Now I've started again and it has changed my life. I will never let outside factors stop my yoga again

After 11 years of yoga overseas and now in Pretoria I still find out more about myself. I don't 'need' yoga but it has become an important stabilising influence in my life

Yoga Connection is a place of serenity where I always calm my mind after a hectic day and I always leave with a sense of wellbeing that stays with me, at least for a little while

Yoga Connection is the one place that I have found near to home where "You can become connected with your body, mind and beautiful people."
