What's Being Said About Us

The quality of my life has been so enhanced with the programme, it’s given me wings and without it, I would cease to fly. I am in a wheelchair and live alone. I look forward to the exercise class for people with disabilities at Yorkshire Yoga. We are hoisted on to exercise mats and given one-to-one assistance. I followed the Thinnerpeace diet 3 years ago and I lost 1 1/2 stone and have not put it back on. This is the only time I get to move my legs and it's wonderful. It really should be funded by the NHS. The quality of my life has been so enhanced with the programme, it’s given me wings and without it, I would cease to fly.

We all support each other in the group. So I look forward to each class. It seems to make it easier to lose weight. Thinnerpeace is a great class for losing weight. It combines aerobic exercise on the ball with resistance band training on the ball. Since rejoining the class I have lost a stone and have tried to maintain it. So I feel a lot healthier. We all support each other in the group. So I look forward to each class. It seems to make it easier to lose weight. I joined in a Nordic Walking taster session and was pleasantly surpirsed at how well I coped, especially with my knees. It was so much fun, I signed up for the full course. Now I come along to Gentle Years Yoga twice a week.

My balance and coordination is as good if not better than it was before the stroke... However, my favourite part is the social aspect. I have met so many new friends. I was referred to the Fit4Health programme by my GP following a stroke which had affected my coordination and balance and left me with residual weakness in my right arm. I was also trying to avoid any further attacks of AF (which prior to May had become more frequent and lasted for days rather than hours) by losing weight and becoming fit. My blood pressure was being controlled with drugs and this was a condition set by the cardiology department at LGI if I was to try to control the AF without the use of antirhythmia drugs. In September 2011 I started in the Gentle Years Yoga class and also had a programme created for me in the fitness room. I use the treadmill and balance master as well as weights. The balance master has been really useful. My balance and coordination is as good if not better than it was before the stroke and I have virtually no remaining weakness on my right side. My favourite part is the social aspect. I have met so many new friends. In January 2012 I also joined the Yoga and Fitness Hatha Yoga class and trained to be a 'training buddy', helping other people in the fitness room.
