I was very distressed, and my *actual* health was put at risk. A really shocking and upsetting experience.

I am not such a follower of the discipline as I like to keep fit more with stretch exercises, running machines and resistance machines to enhance the aerobic performance of my body. But I went with a friend of mine who swears by it and I was pleasantly surprised at the way it is taught which is more related to breathing as opposed to anything else. Judging from how many people attend her class obviously her technique is very successful because she began by working from home and is now planning to open a posh studio some-where. Other than holding classes in London Bauman also teaches at several yoga retreats outside the UK.

I had previously been to several yoga classes in my life and found them all to be okay, but I never…read morefound I kept going back after a few classes and it was hard to put my finger on why. But then I found The Yoga Hall. I have attended both Laura and Fin's classes for several years now (i gather they have other good teachers too) and both are completely amaizing. Somehow they take yoga to a completely different level. When I was pregnant with both of my children I had classes on Fridays with Laura which i really found helped. I suffered from really nasty Syatica (sp?) which was really bothering me and Laura took time to show me some special exercises which really helped. She always has time to talk about any individual worries that you have and I have noticed that she has also worked really well with people who have particular difficulties (for example there was a lady in my class who had a knee problem and Laura always took the time to make sure she knew what she should and shoudln't do and actaully she mentioned that Laura had given her some special exercises which were helping too). I also did the baby massage class which is completely brilliant. Both my babies absolutely loved it and it was actaully a really good way to meet other new mums and share experiences too. I did try another baby class in St Albans too as it was on a more convenient time but it wasn't anything like as good so I actaully changed my work days in order to go back to Laura's classes! (I know I sound a bit obsessed at this point..but believe me I am normal really!!!). I even found that the massage that I learned helped my babies sleep but they always slept the best when they had been to Laura's class that day. There are other things available at the yoga hall too - there is a trapeze class sometimes but I have never managed to get to one yet but my friend says it is great. All sorts of other things going on there too. Check out the website for more info. They are also a real community centre and I have made friends there too. It has such a lovel family atmosphere. (There is also a lovely cafe right next door which sever yummy and healthy food and drinks which is just perfect for a 'chill out' light salad or something afterwards.) I can't recommend them highly enough really. They blow everything else in St Albans (and elsewhere in my experience) out of the water.

Very unique flow and I felt wonderful afterwards. Save yourself the run around and take class here!

Initially I was less committed, but as I began to understand my own potential and got better at not comparing myself to others in class (mainly worrying I would never be as flexible or as strong as my fellow classmates!) I started to attend more regularly. Yoga with Hana and Aya is dynamic, challenging and fun. I go along to 2-3 classes a week now and love everything about them; the friendly and welcoming attitude, the wonderful opportunity to practice outside in beautiful Finsbury Park and the excellent teaching. The indoor class at the Redmond Centre on a Monday night is close to home making it brilliantly convenient as an after work exercise option with not far to go after the class has finished! With its clean, large, spacious studio overlooking the West Reservoir at Woodberry Grove, the centre offers a great, enlightening space for practice. Hana clearly and intelligently provides superb direction ensuring you can appreciate the true purpose of each asana. Using the full time of the class (an hour in the park, an hour & 30mins in the centre), she encourages us to be curious and explore postures, not to adopt a one size fits all approach, making for a safer practice and teaching for all attending. The classes are intense, the work goes deep and the benefits stay with you throughout the week. I've met many new friends through Hana's classes, workshops and retreats and regularly recommend her to friends, neighbours and colleagues.
