This was wonderful!! I attended the hips to toes workshop and it really helped see where I was stiff and inflexible. Will continue to use the moves taught plus Carmel sent us links and advice to continue the poses. Will help me to improve my Samba moves. Thank you and see you at the next course x

Yay!!! So happy you loved the workshop Stacey! Keep up the great work, only an email or phone call away if you need any help!

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!

Awwwww thank you Dahlia!!! Cant wait for your return to classes next year!

I have been doing Carmel's Stretch Class for well over 2 years. Carmel is always open to hear my concerns and those of my class mates and to tailor the class to help alleviate issues. Challenging at times - yes, but in a good way.
I have also attended chair yoga and find these almost as good in the way they stretch tight muscles.
In this day and age it is wonderful to meet genuine caring people who enjoy what they are doing.

Approximate cost: $16

So glad I discovered Carmel’s Stretch Therapy classes. I felt release of deep held tension from my neck and shoulders after just 1 session. She is an excellent instructor, very knowledge and adjusts positions for different people’s ability levels and injuries. I’ll definitely be attending her classes for the long term.

Great to hear the neck and shoulders feel a little better Esther! Thank you for your kind words!

I discovered Carmel's wonderful stretch class late in 2016, and have been attending on and off ever since. It does wonders for tight and sore muscles and keeps help pain under control, and the small class size means individual attention and a fun atmosphere.

Approximate cost: $18

Thank you so much for your kind words!

I started Stretch Therapy at The Better Movement Studio the beginning of 2018 after spraining my back.
I am still attending nearly a year later. Carmel has aided in my recovery and has helped me with other issues such as chronic neck pain.
I thoroughly recommend Better Movement Studio to anyone who suffers from neck and back pain as it is greatly beneficial.

Approximate cost: $16

It's always great to work with you Jaime, you have come a long way! Thank you for your very kind words!

I have been attending Louise Holfield's Pilates class for the last six months. I love her enthusiasm, her care for all of us in the class who have various different physical challenges, her hands on approach to correct when needed, the mix up of exercises every week and the opportunity to push further on the difficulty level if we are up to it. The hour flies by and I feel so good at the end of each session. Highly recommend.

Thank you so much for your kind words, Louise is a wonderful teacher!

I've been doing a Stretch Therapy class with Carmel once a week for over 3 years and the benefits, both physically and mentally, have been wonderful. Being in my 50's and having a desk job I was always feeling so 'rusty' but that all changed when I discovered Stretch Therapy. Carmel is extremely knowledgeable, caring and kind and she makes everyone feel nurtured and valued. You will love the relaxation session at the end of the class!

Always a delight to have in class, Elaine, your improvement in movement has been amazing, keep up the great work!

My daughters attend the Kids Yoga at Findon Swim School. The classes are very small allowing the instructor to really get to know and understand the personality and needs of each individual. Their instructor Bel is calm, caring and friendly and my girls love working with her. They often practise the techniques they are being taught at home together which is wonderful bonding for the two of them and helps reinforce the principles they are learning. An excellent studio has been created and is a great find for our family.

It’s one of those small class that the instructor can get to every individual! With an additional bonus of child minding service, haven’t found another place with that service. Both Louise and Carmel’s classes are extremely enjoyable

I'm attending Chair Yoga with Carmel. It's one of the best decisions I've made. Carmel is an amazing leader who patiently, kindly and skilfully shares her knowledge with us. I feel a sense of personal achievement at the end of every session. I am not young and definitely not thin but Carmel is always positive and encouraging.

I spoke to Carmel about my specific physical issues ( over 65 with arthritis) and she recommended Chair Yoga. I have been going for a few weeks in the Western Suburbs. Small group Carmel is very supportive. Highly recommended.

So pleased you are enjoying the classes Marti! Woohoo!!

Carmel's stretch class has been a valuable part of my health and well being. My range of movement regresses significantly when I am unable to get there. She differentiates the class to meet the range of needs of each attendee superbly. Highly recommend it for everyone. Carmel is a gem.

I have loved Vicki's teaching and the manner in which she accommodates the aches and pains of the "not so young" and will strive to be disciplined and continue with yoga practice at home when I can't get to the studio.
