“I started yoga at the Yoga loft Studio Burbage 2yrs ago after my retirement with the guidance of amazing teachers Katrina and Vicki. My practice has helped me grow stronger, more flexible, supple and retain youthful body and mind.”
Student stories
Every motivation and reason for practising yoga is individual. There's no 'one size fits all' at the Yoga Loft. Here are some of our students, in their own words.
Pete
Plasterer. LCFC fan
“I’ve always kept fit with boxing, gym and swimming but started suffering with lower back pain. It’s just wear and tear (an age thing!) I’ve found that the yoga has helped me hugely by stretching out stiff areas and gaining more flexibility & suppleness in the body and I no longer have to use pain killers for the pain in my back since I started the Yoga 2 years ago. I also feel lot better generally so why not start your own Yoga journey?”
Ruth
Saddle fitter. horse rider
“I started yoga to help increase my flexibility and for its meditative benefits due to my hectic lifestyle! I have found my core stability has hugely improved, which I notice not just in my horse riding but also in everyday tasks. I can’t imagine life now without yoga I feel generally much stronger and healthier!”
Darren
Pub landlord. The Plough
“My Wife Louise and I began practising yoga in 2014 by having private classes with Kat, initially it was to help with flexibility and to work alongside the training we already did, and Louise had also spoken to Kat regarding the benefits it might have to help with back pain. Not only did it help with the flexibility and training but Louise noticed a massive improvement in her back, the breathing techniques also became useful in day to day life.”
Mark
Watch business. ex-Ironman
“About 10yrs ago I got knocked off my bike training for an iron man and since then alway had a sore lower back. I thought yoga could help with this and finally took the plunge and went to BROGA (Men Only) at The Loft, which I loved! Doing yoga 2 to 3 times a week has amazingly helped my lower back pain to the extent it has gone and my overall flexibility has obviously improved as well and i also find it very relaxing. Just wish I had started earlier...”
Vicky
Ex-England Rugby International. owner of Didi Rugby
“Originally from an international rugby background, I didn’t utilise yoga until I retired... I now wish I had. It has certainly improved my flexibility, my core strength and recently, more importantly it’s enabled me to switch off from running my own business. It’s taught me the benefits of switching off the mind as well as working out the body!”
Laura
Barrister. qualified yoga teacher
“I moved from London to Hinckley in late 2016 and soon started going to The Yoga Loft to enjoy the variety of classes there. The Loft is a hub of community life and I feel very fortunate to have it so close by.”
Jo
Creative. long-time student
“The Yoga Loft is a sanctuary. A beautiful space to escape from the external world. A space to reconnect to yourself away from the outside pressures. I discovered Yoga late in life, but it has become an essential part of my life.”
