I have attempted yoga several times in my life and each time I sustained an injury or was put off by the acrobatics of the instructor. Carmel's Stretch and Yoga classes are so different! They are very user friendly and Carmel never makes anyone feel awkward or that they should have attained a certain level by now. Having said that, Carmel has a caring and positive manner that intrinsically motivates one to do better and to get the best out of themselves and the class. I just love Carmel and her classes!
