“I appreciated the holistic approach and the variety of practices. Tailored to meet my needs. The follow up notes are extremely valuable; very clear and confident instruction; I have adjusted my nutrition and practice based on what I learned.”

Gill, yoga therapy client

“The classes have been wonderful.

I have learned how to relieve any stress by doing some of the exercises and gained knowledge overall.”

Lisa, chair yoga class 

"I feel so relaxed for a couple of hours after class –

I'm never relaxed, even when I sleep."

Karen, chair yoga class

“Yanar has been taking our Parkinson’s group yoga classes for two years and they’ve been very popular with all our members.  Yanar brings a fresh and very positive approach.  She is concerned about each class member and asks how each participant feels at the start of the class. 

The exercises are adapted for people with movement, coordination and posture difficulties.  We are encouraged to stretch our capabilities, but there is no pressure to complete any challenging exercises.

Yanar will often suggest different ways to do an exercise to suit different abilities. She also takes us through visualisation, mindfulness exercises and yoga nidra, which can be very restful! 

The sessions are informal, fun and lighthearted – we can thoroughly recommend Yanar’s teaching and classes.”

Oliver, Volunteer Coordinator, Parkinson’s UK East London Group

“Yanar's classes are very calming and I love her focus on each attendee feeling better and calmer in themselves rather than pushing people to hit certain moves or commenting about getting a particular body shape.

She truly cares about the wellbeing of the people in her classes.”

Izzy, online yoga

“Yanar is a skilled and supportive coach who programmed and coached my first foray into strength training.

I owe her much more than simply gaining strength and knowledge of how to do so safely. Her approach was comprehensive and balanced through monthly PT sessions, progress tracking and messages/calls.

She was a cheerleader and confidence-builder and genuinely invested in my growth and progression.

Yanar provided me with solid foundations of good form and most importantly a real love for lifting that is still going strong!”

Kat, personal training client

“Yanar got me so much fitter. She worked me hard, but worked in a way that was mindful of my injuries.

I have a bad lower back and recurring tennis elbow. She strengthened my surrounding muscles, which overall reduced my chronic lower back pain.

She also taught me exercises going forward and advised me on my diet. I enjoyed the sessions, as Yanar is understanding and motivating.”
