Roz Hardie, Manager of Lewisham Disability Coalition

I am a manager of Lewisham Disability Coalition which provides strategic support, project management, governance and financial support to Chinbrook Action Residents Team (ChART) Big Local Area.

ChART Big Local is a 10 year programme, funded by the National Lottery. Two of the residents’ priorities are Health and Well- being and Parks and Green Spaces. Over the summer months we commissioned a series of free activities to run for residents and visitors in Chinbrook Meadows. Unfortunately our initial yoga teacher was unreliable and did not turn up for several sessions.

Geny came to our assistance and quickly helped us resurrect the sessions and interest in the use of the park. She has proved a reliable and highly skilled yoga teacher. The classes she leads are mixed ability and in the open air without pre-booking which means potentially very different ability levels attend each class. Geny has coped well with these challenges and made sure the classes are genuinely inclusive and welcoming to all e.g. incorporating chair yoga for some of the elderly participants.

She is also a charismatic, confident and cheerful person, which is important when leading a session and encouraging people to do their best while bearing in mind physical limitations.

We have had extremely positive feedback about the sessions via our anonymous questionnaires about the programme as a whole and I would not hesitate to recommend her to other potential commissioners.

Yours sincerely

Roz Hardie
Director
Lewisham Disability Coalition

I discovered Geny… and then I was hooked

I discovered Geny when she covered yoga classes at my local gym. I have since become addicted to her classes; would happily travel a distance to attend one of her classes. Her professional; friendly personality have made yoga an enjoyable experience instead of an effort.
I have asked for her treatment vouchers as Christmas… more “I discovered Geny… and then I was hooked”

I have had two sessions with Geny, she is professional and highly knowledgeable. The ayurvedic advice and suggestions she gave me during my consultation have proved spot on and I can see an immediate benefit. I had a fantastic massage with Geny which left me feeling very nurtured. I highly recommend Geny… go and book… more “Sue, Bromley.”

Best Yoga Instructor I Have Found Locally

I love your yoga class and style of teaching. There’s something about yoga that is very personal and a lot depends on the vibe with the instructor. You are the best instructor I have found in the local area. You challenge me to my fullest but, at the same time, you are warm, inspiring, and… more “Best Yoga Instructor I Have Found Locally”

I absolutely love Geny’s classes

I absolutely love Geny’s classes she is a wonderful attentive teacher. I feel she pushes me to achieve my best whilst fully guiding and supporting me, both in terms of attention to detail in class, repositioning my postures whilst verbally encouraging everyone in the class.
I feel I have grown stronger since joining Geny… more “I absolutely love Geny’s classes”

Going to a regular yoga class allows me to meet like-minded people and make new friends. The bonus of having such a knowledgeable and committed teacher enhances the experience each week.

The outdoor sessions at Chinbrok Meadows are perfect. I really hope they continue for 2018. I and my daughter think Geny is an amazing teacher.

Jo, Grove Park

Geny is an excellent yoga teacher, she takes the time to help each person, the class is challenging and relaxing and my flexibility and strength have improved since attending these classes. I look forward to it each week.

Tania, London

I feel so lucky to be able to do yoga on Saturday mornings in my local community. It is a short walk from my house and at a time that suits me. The fact that it is very affordable means that I am encouraging my 22-year old and 15-year old daughters to come too. This… more “Tania, London”

I’m not sure you will remember me, but I went to your yoga lessons 3 or 4 times on Mondays fews months ago in Bromley. Unfortunately I couldn’t come anymore because of my au pair job, and now I’m back in France. But I wanted you to know that I discovered yoga with you and… more “Claire, Bromley “

Thanks so much for the Ayurveda consultation. It is so easy talking to you. Makes the process so much easier. I very much enjoyed this morning. I also thoroughly enjoy the yoga classes. My arms are so much stronger already, just need to work on the ‘slouching’.

Mark, Nuffields Health Club Canary Wharf

Many thanks Geny, your classes are a joy to attend. I really do enjoy them. Your enthusiasm helps motivate the class plus going round and correcting people is great. Maybe I’ll try the headstands though another week!
