Louise' yoga practise just seems to flow in a beautiful relaxing sequence... you almost forget you're being instructed to move and stretch your body and you become totally lost in the moment.  With the restful sound of Lou's voice for minor adjustments here and there to personally help you deepen your yoga, finishing each class with a lovely meditation.... it's just great.

I've been doing Lou's classes for a couple of years and I didn't realise how much tension we hold in our bodies until I missed going to class.  I'm looking forward to the change of timetable so I can join in once again.

Louise’ Astanga and general vinyasa classes provide the perfect balance of flexibility, strength and aerobic conditioning. With regular attendance my body is leaner, my mind is sharper and my overall wellbeing is greatly enhanced. As an instructor, Louise is an inspiring role model who teaches with patience and with nurturing attention to her individual students. I couldn’t recommend Louise’ yoga classes more highly.

There are many reasons I love Louise' yoga classes...

Firstly I feel so much more relaxed and centred after a class.
I also feel my body has loosened/re-aligned on several levels.  I feel more flexible & also more stable on my feet. I actually always feel taller after a class.
I just adore our meditations.Louise your voice is so soothing & calming.
I also feel I can 'let go" & therefore release any unwanted energy/tension around my life & start life afresh.
I huge Thank you Louise for all that you give to my life.

“I randomly walked into one of Louise’ Yoga classes over ten years and from that point on I knew I would be practicing Yoga for the rest of my life. It has changed me and my life on so many levels, I could write a book about it, thanks Lou”.

As a person who suffers from stress I find Louise and her yoga classes have taught me about mind body balance, relaxation, and meditation. These lessons I can take with me anywhere, especially when I cannot attend as many classes as I would like. All of Louise' classes also provide a great workout helping to tone, strengthen, increase balance, and provide flexibility to the entire body. As a surfer these elements help me to get the most out of my surfing without injury!
I have tried all of Louise's classes and they are all fantastic. There is something for everyone no matter what your yoga level or stage in life! Louise in a lovely person with an individual approach to everyone. I highly recommend for anyone to attend her classes.

For my practice (..when I did do it!!) and having had a significant break from it, I now realise how important it was to my overall health and in particular my emotional balance, namely the self -confidence I gained from my practise. The motivation required to attain my commitment to the practise was difficult at times but knowing the benefits made it easier to continue. These developmental insights from my practise were subtley encouraged and highlighted by you Lou, to assist in my development. These insights were something I probably wouldn't have come to had I not been guided by you.  
In retrospect your guidance and benefits of practise were more powerful than I gave credit for. Now that I am not practising as regularly due to a change in commitments I can now see the true value, and depth of what yoga really means to my wholeself.

 A yoga class with Louise Eddy is like no other I have ever attended.   I will always remember my first class and the first time I met Louise.  A person who strikes you as one of life's special people is apparent from that first hello.  She has a way of making you feel at ease in an environment that is serious about teaching the students yoga.  Louise herself has a honed and toned body and from that alone you know she lives yoga in her daily life.  As I started to attend all her levels of classes I realised that my gym days were over.  I have always been very weight concious and need to exercise to maintain a healthy weight but since I regularly started going to yoga I can honestly say I don't obsess about my body image because yoga makes me feel fit and fantastic.  Louise has a voice that will melt even the toughest of days and I have always left class feeling a calmer, more adjusted individual.  Louise's Ashtanga classes are world class and this is where I noticed subtle yet strong differences in my body and mind.  Louise is at the top of her game in Ashtanga showing how strong and flexible her body is and this alone demonstrates where her students could get to with consistency and hard work. She inspires you to progress and it doesn't have to be doing a strong balance or a headstand it could be as simple as achieving length in your body to get your heels on the floor during down dog. I am doing postures that I never thought I would be able to and experiencing freedom in my body that I always dreamed of, this is because Louise's classes walk you through such a range of postures that encourage your body to develop and strengthen.  Students who go to Louise's classes regularly always say how lucky we are to have her, a piece of real yoga like you would experience in India right here in Cronulla.

Your yoga classes are tough.   No matter my mood on starting the class, Louise encourages every effort to extend myself to the limit of my physical capabilities with good postures, through description or actually readjusting me. It is good to feel improvement & I float out of the class feeling wonderful & energised. I think the breath & mind control are very valuable skills for coping with life’s challenges & I want to keep my body strong & supple for as long as possible. I think yoga is the answer. I like Louise’ attention to detail, not only with our yoga practice but also the nice touches to the room. Aesthetics help with the comfort factor to me.

Yoga provides me with the ability to balance all the pressures and demands that occur in my life. It helps me to find that calm centre and just breath. Lou is an inspirational teacher and it is a joy to attend her classes, both because of her wonderful teaching and the pleasure of practising with others.

I have greatly benefited from yoga in so many ways.  I am moving much more freely and I feel ‘lighter’ in my daily life.  Yoga has taught me to relax, both physically and mentally.  My body feels less tension and I experience greater clarity of thought and calmness of mind.  I would highly recommend yoga with Louise to anyone seeking to feel better in their body, mind and spirit.

I came to Louise and yoga some nine months ago and it was via a recommendation from my psychologist. I have both physical issues, via back surgery, and mental illness - Bi-Polar Disorder Type 2 and P.T.S.D. My initial approach was one of scepticism which changed quite rapidly. Physically, i liked exercise to be hard work and would have considered myself very fit. However i was amazed at how challenged my body was when working into yoga poses. The flexibility i have attained has been incredible for my back injury. Yoga and in particular the breathing work has assisted greatly with my mental health issues. Being able to use breath to get into my body allows me all important time to relax and get away from what is in my head. The beauty of this is that it is achieved without medication or self medication with alcohol. I recently had my fifth MRI and being claustrophobic they have always been a source of consternation. My last twenty-two minutes in the MRI tube went seemlessly as i was so focused on my yoga breathing.

Surfing is my form of relaxation but my back and hamstrings were that tight it became a dourer chore to get in the water, that was until a fellow surfer told me to come to this yoga class on Thursday mornings. Big sacrifice by missing a morning of surfing but WOW i can now touch my toes, sit cross legged and bend without pain and my body is thanking me for it. Lou, thanks to you surfing has once again become relaxing without the aches and pains.
