WHAT PEOPLE THINK OF US

I started Deannas classes as a nervous beginner to exercise.  She put me at ease and now my fitness has improved so much.  My body has shrunk and I can fit back into all my favourite clothes again! So happy

“I met Deanna 6 months ago and she made me believe I could overcome the issue.”

I’m only 24 yrs old and I had suffered with psiatica for 2 years.  I love running and wanted so much to complete a marathon but I was in agony most of the time.  It was stopping my training and each time I had arranged to do a competitive run, I had to cancel and go back to the doctor and psiotherapist with the pain.  I met Deanna 6 months ago and she made me believe I could overcome the issue.  She took me through rehabilitative yoga to ‘heal’ the area and to build support into my muscular system.  I have thoroughly enjoyed my time with her and have been out of pain now for 4 solid months.  I will be doing my first marathon on Sunday 1st April this year in Paris and cant wait.  I know I will not only complete it but do it in a great time!

“She has also taught to manage my emotions and I no longer comfort eat, I exercise instead.”

My wedding was not only the best day of my life but I looked the very best I have ever looked too.  My budget was tight but I wanted to try my best to look good for our photograps.  I trained with Deanna for 9 months before my special day.  I knew with willpower, I could look better but I never expected my body to look and feel the way it did.  I had to be refitted for my wedding dress 3 times! I felt beautiful.  I am so grateful to her.  After our training was completed, she remained a support to me and encouraged me to continue with my healthy approach to eating and exercise.  She has also taught me to manage my emotions and I no longer comfort eat. I exercise instead.

My new husband is very proud apparently!

Deannas yoga classes are the best I've ever known. I have been doing yoga for years but Ive found an instructor who way surpasses the normal expectations.  Thank you!

"Deanna is an amazing teacher - she cares so much about changing peoples lives.”

Deanna wanted to give us what she called ‘a tool to manage life’.  I didn’t really understand what she meant but I had continually heard that meditation was meant to be ‘good for me’.  I am a teacher and was suffering with severe depression and anxiety.  I had contemplated leaving my career as I knew that the stress levels were exhausting me. I had tried medication but felt even worse.  I began her class with a group and even after the first session, I felt like a black cloud had begun to lift.  I slept better that night and felt better the next day.  I returned the following week and have never missed a class.  My anxiety is now under control and I do not feel depressed anymore.  I have even got my passion back for my work and although still challenging, I am coping.  I have learned to look after myself, to give myself time for rejuvenation but above all, I fully understand how my thoughts affect my whole day and am able to control them.  I will always continue on this path now as I honestly don’t know where I would be without it.  Deanna is an amazing teacher.  She cares so much about  changing peoples lives.

"She gave me my body back!”

I had to have a hip replacement 3 years ago and my recovery was taking such a long time.  Deanna would always ask me if I was ok as I hobbled past her in the club and give me a cuddle if I looked upset.  I knew she was a trainer but didn’t think I could afford her.  I was particularly upset one day,  tearful as I was still in a lot of pain. I couldn’t imagine ever feeling normal again.  I approached her and we casually chatted.  I had never really spent money on myself so found it difficult but my husband had no hesitation in paying the fees for me. I was scared.  I couldn’t bear the thought of any more pain and wondered whether I was doing the right thing by training more.

She was so kind and considerate and patient and I was never in pain once.  She taught me exactly how to move in the correct way so that I would improve and without any pain.  I was doing all the wrong things on my own and for too long.  Within a very short time, the pain had gone and I was walking properly without hobbling around.  Id felt so old! My rehabilitation is complete, I am back to swimming, doing classes and using the gym for strength.  My training fees were affordable and invaluable to my recovery.  She gave me my body back!
