Castleford-yoga studio - Castleford

I've been attending the Monday evening Pilates sessions with Marie for the past 8 months. Always come home from them feeling better in myself and have seen a vast improvement in my core strength. I was made to feel very welcome from the outset and Marie's fun and relaxed approach to teaching makes it even more enjoyable.

Myself and my husband have been attending Castleford Yoga for over 3 years now and can honestly say that Marie has worked wonders with our aches and pains as well as improving our flexibility and state of mind. Marie is a fantastic instructor in varying forms of yoga who instructs very well at all levels from beginners to advanced and inbetween too. Classes are fun and are suitable for all ages. Would definately recommend to anyone looking to make any kind of improvement to their lives or even just to try a different kind of exercise.

I joined Castleford yoga after my sister joined. No fancy yoga gear needed which was a relief to us both. Marie's classes have always been fun and enable me to challenge myself. I've grown in strength and flexibility over the months I've been going. I always feel calmer and uplifted after a class, ready for the challenges of the day. Thanks Marie - great job

I’ve been going to Marie’s classes for the last year, they are brilliant. I’m huge, 2m tall and 165kg, I was scared that there was no way I would cope but Marie is brilliant, always open and welcoming. She gives massive encouragement and just the right level of challenge in each class. Most importantly I feel safe, I know I’m only going to be asked to do what I can. I highly recommend Marie’s classes to anyone interested in improving their yoga, tai chi and pilates practice. I’ve only ever found the sessions a delightful place to be.

I have been attending castleford yoga studio for about 10 months. It’s always a little nerve wrecking joining a new class, but I had no need to worry.

I was welcomed warmly from the moment I arrived. Marie is a very well knowledgeable instructor, she knows her stuff but always imparts her knowledge with humour and a bit of a laugh. It is honestly the most down to earth yoga studio I have ever been to.

I have enjoyed myself immensely at the studio, looking forward to catching up with with everyone as it is such a welcoming place.

In lockdown well, I can’t thank Marie enough. I have two young children and being at home has been tough. I have enjoyed our online classes and appreciate all the hard work that Marie has put in to help us all get through this crazy time.

I’m looking forward to getting back to the studio, I know Marie will be 100% on it to get us back as soon as she can.

Thank you so much Marie xxx

I joined Marie at Castleford Yoga some time ago, but work got in the way and as I was struggling to make the class I gave up. I really missed my practice and the benefits I had started to see. When I heard Marie was offering an online membership during lockdown I jumped at the chance to start again.
The classes, whether on line or in studio are welcoming and friendly. Marie is very knowledgeable and supportive, offering advice on how to achieve even the smallest of goals. Mine was to touch my toes - after 6 weeks I can do it !!
I really like how Marie shows you the basics but then also extensions to the exercise, so you feel that you are achieving and growing in every class. I have dipped into Pilates too as well a Thai chi and find they offer quite different benefits. My core strength has improved through Pilates and Thai chi (as well as yoga) has helped when I’ve felt a bit out sorts and needed to calm my mind (brilliant during lockdown !!). Thank you Marie for all your support.

I started going to Castleford yoga over 3 years ago. At first I was apprehensive as to what to expect but Marie makes everyone feel totally at ease. The initial reason for me attending was due to an issue with my back which was becoming a chronic problem and causing me to have on average 3 days per month off work. Since I started I haven't, touch wood, had a day off work. I also have benefited from becoming much more mobile in all parts of my body due to having more core strength.
Marie's classes are no pressure and if your uncomfortable with any of the poses Marie is always forthcoming with alternatives to suit the individual.
I'd recommend Castleford yoga to anybody.

I have been practising yoga with Marie at Castleford-yoga studio for 3 years now. I had no previous experience and yoga had been suggested to me by my GP and physio as I had a bad back. My husband, who was very sceptical, came with me to give me support for a few weeks and we've both stayed ever since. Marie is very friendly and down to earth and yoga with her is very much for 'normal' people, who are not necessarily super bendy or super slim - she adapts the sessions to everyone's abilities and makes them enjoyable, whatever their age, size etc. 3 years on, my back is now in the best condition it has ever been and if and when I do have any niggles, I just speak to Marie and we work together to avoid problems occurring. This yoga has had such a positive effect on both of us that now other family members have joined some of the classes on different days.
