Ironside Yoga

Tatiana has been outstanding in identifying and helping me correct the cause of chronic lower back pain that had plagued me for years. She runs sessions that are entertaining as well as effective. She never talks down to the elderly in her class. She looks after us both physically and mentally. We always look forward to her sessions.

This review is from Rae HunterI have been doing chair yoga at Ironside Physiotherapy, Yoga and Pilates centre at Hawken Drive, St Lucia for a few years. The new dedicated yoga room is terrific. My yoga teacher is Tania (Tatiana) and I love her lessons. While it is chair yoga, the exercises and poses give us a good workout and all parts of the body are stretched. Tatiana always explains the benefits of each exercise and we finish each one with a reverse stretch. You feel like you’ve done a really good workout and you’re not sore the next day. She ensures that she takes people’s physical limitations into account. Tatiana teaches brain yoga, with great hilarity from the class.The meditation session at the end is very calming.Tatiana has excellent teaching skills: giving praise, positive feedback and gentle encouragement. I love her quirky sense of humour throughout the lesson and look forward to her sessions each week.

A nice spot to do yoga at Ironside St Lucia. Very convenient location. Small classes so you are able to receive individual attention and get alternative suggestions to a yoga pose if you are nursing an injury. Lots of different poses covered + a few old favourites!An enjoyable experience.

I have been engaged with various levels of education for over 60 years and Tania is one of the very best teachers I have experienced in that long time. She always makes me feel comfortable in our small class despite my lack of any prior knowledge of yoga or indeed of exercise science generally. She also carefully adjusts her curriculum to suit my limitations so I always feel a strong sense of satisfaction at the end of sessions. Finally, she has a capacity to link us with the wider world of yoga and its capacity to promote a sense of happiness.
