Thanks Claire,
It’s wonderful to see our students promoting the amazing benefits of our authentic BIKRAM Yoga Classes.
Our mind is as important as our body, and after 25 years teaching BIKRAM Yoga professionally, I still return to the source for original and authentic teaching.

Thank you David for your lovely words.
It means a lot that you took the time and also see the importance of a yoga teachers knowledge of anatomy.
It’s crucial to understand body and breath mechanics yet a very often overlooked aspect of working with peoples body’s.
Thank you again, have a wonderful day.

Fantastic experience: Michelle’s HIT Pilates classes are well structured with great teaching technique too. Michelle has eyes in the back of her head so she really push us beyond what we believe we can do - safely! The class is challenging but very motivating with options made available. She always introduces new exercises/kit which adds more challenge and helps us get stronger, more flexible with good core strength. After having had a flare up of sciatic pain linked with a niggling SI joint she has kept me pain and injury free! Thank you Michelle!! X

Thank you so much Sally.
Teaching Pilates well takes years of study, and continued professional development and also a great space created to help people train safely while being able to see a clients body moving with any compensations indicating an imbalance.
Great work can be done with knowledge of anatomy, physiology, postural assessment and intervention and other foundational skills such as breathing pattern disorders.

It’s always a pleasure to read comments from our clients that have received THE BEST and most knowledgeable service. We have spinet over 15 years developing our skills to be able to help bodies stay mentally and physically strong.
Let’s keep the world moving well!!

Fantastic experience: Awesome bikram class. The teaching and guidance from Michelle, the mirrored room and heating all make it a great class. I have a physical job that is very demanding on the body, the bikram class stops the aches and pains, gives me more energy and far greater agility noticeable the day after every session. Also one of the best activities to create and still and calm mind. Both these are reasons why I will continue with bikram for as long as I can.

That's brilliant Chris, such a powerful testimonial for the power of Bikram yoga. i have seen the many changes you have made for yourself with your regular practice and commitment to your body and mind - from rehabbing old injuries to developing balance and stability, your investment to yourself your body mind and your life have been invaluable. Imagine what's possible in another 6 months - another year - another 10 years! Keep the momentum - its truly life changing!!

Fantastic experience: Hi My Name Jo I attend Yin Yoga Classes I work in the local NHS as Specialist Practitioner, I am now 51 years old. I contracted Covid 19 in 2020 and although I recovered from the initial virus it has left me with multiple health issues. The main symptom I have is chronic nerve pain and muscle spasms which also affects my heart. I knew I need to do something to try and help my body recover and didn't want yet another painkiller I was running out of options and getting no help from conventional medicine. I wanted something that would help me mentally/emotionally and physically. I thought this type of Yoga cannot make me feel any worse, and I have nothing to lose " I was very skeptical" to say the least " This is not going to work" How Wrong Was I !!! I first met Michelle back in late 2022 and when I so she had set up on her own I was over the moon. I immediately booked a class, this lady is amazing, I was in severe pain when I attended my first session but the heat and meditation (Breathing) helped me emotionally and mentally control how I react to my pain. The stretching and shapes help relax and lengthen my muscles giving me added pain relief. I have been attending Michelle's twice a week since she opened, and I always leave feeling better than I did when I arrive. If for some reason I cannot attend I really do miss it, it's addictive!! My body thanks me for every session I attend. I am sleeping much better, but I also have increased energy, and mentally I am calmer and more positive in my attitude to my own health, well-being, and self-care. Going forward I hope to be able to progress to attend Michelle's other classes ( Bikram and Kettlebells). Michelle is really invested in helping everyone who attends her studio, I cannot recommend Michelle and Lovely Yoga Studio enough. It really has changed my daily life in the most positive way.

Jo this is a tremendously powerful and invaluable insight into your reasons and rewards for committing to something much more beneficial overall than medication. Thats not to say that meds dont have a plce - but we can do so much more for ourselves if we take a step out of our comfort zone and move into yin yoga with an open mind. Your words will make a huge difference to anybody else living with debilitating illnesses.
Yin yoga is never to be underestimated, it is Silent Power and im so pleased that its working for you.
Thank you so much for taking the time to share. It means a lot.
Keep brightening your inner skies, breathe well and be well,
Regards

Fantastic experience: Attending Hot Bikram yoga with Michelle has helped me to regain flexibility and has hugely reduced the pain of rheumatoid arthritis. The classes are totally supportive and not at all judgmental. It has been transformational for me and my health.

That's lovely to hear. We hear it a lot from people with various forms of arthritis and rheumatism. Sadly its sometimes one of the many reasons people think they should not come to Bikram yoga - but actually its one of the main reasons why we should start, maintain and improve our bodies. It is possible to dampen the pain and it is also possible to delay the onset.
Keep up the good work, i've seen some tremendous improvements in your body's movement, balance and stability since you started :)

Fantastic experience: I started doing Yoga in the private lessons with Michelle organised by P.A.U.L. 4 Brain charity. I now am able to undertake other lessons with Michelle, including Hells Bells (Kettlebell training) and Hot Yoga. Myself and the wife love coming to the lessons, and they cater for all levels. Definitely recommend people getting to to Lion Heart Hot Yoga and doing some classes, and seeing the benefits they get!! Top notch mentor/teacher, who really cares about her students!

Working with Charities such as Paula For Brain Recovery, MacMillan and Parkinson’s has taught me so much about how these life challenges hurt people and have a ripple affect into their whole lives. It’s been extremely heart warming to help guide you all through the wonderful way of evidence based breath work, movement and meditation and how we can use these to build a stronger mind, healthier body and happier life.

It is an absolute pleasure to have met you and Pip. And to still be friends with you after so many years.

Much love to you both

Ian Stanley 6 years ago

Fantastic experience: I started going to Lionheart hot yoga in March after seeing it advertised on Facebook because my regular exercise (mainly circuit training at Beverley leisure centre) was having a negative impact on my body especially my knees almost to the point where I was struggling to walk upstairs some days but since taking up yoga ‍♂️ this has improved a hundred fold and run up them now. It has also helped me lose body fat and made my muscles more lean, improved my core strength and improved my ability focus. I have made a lot of new friends through Lionheart hot yoga, all the staff are so friendly and most helpful, the facilties are top notch and to be honest it's downright addictive. To be honest I think I would be there every day if I lived nearer. Ian Stanley
