TESTIMONIALS

"Robs sessions greatly improved my flexibility, strength and not least my ability to focus. In terms of training, I wholly support his initiative to bring yoga to enhance sessions. I decided to try yoga with Rob after sustaining an injury and found it a great help in addition to training. I felt stronger, leaner, quicker and energised" Robert Huth - Stoke City and Germany
	"Robs sessions are challenging and not at all how we imagined Yoga would be. Players felt an all round improvement in terms of strength, flexibility and stamina".   York City Football Club

Rob  has given Yoga lessons at Queen Margaret’s School over the last two years, teaching girls between the ages 15 – 18 years.

Rob is a committed and responsible teacher with an excellent knowledge of his subject, he delivers his class with clear instructions in a calm and friendly manner and I have no hesitation in recommending him as an excellent Yoga teacher.

I've been attending Rob's Ashtanga classes since 2005, and I started attending the Power Yoga / Dynamic Balance classes when they were set up, too. I love going to both classes - they're challenging, but I'm yet to leave without a big smile on my face! Rob's a brilliant teacher - he gives clear instructions which help you reach new depths in the various postures being practised.

I've enjoyed the course very much, I thought the pace was realistic, most sessions I felt like I could remember most of it when practicing the next day, although the email notes were invaluable for that as well. It was also good to have been pre-warned how much practice was needed at home, it was hard to fit this in but it really made a difference. Some of the postures have been so difficult for me to get, but you've been encouraging & left me feeling hopeful that I will get there in the end. There's not a lot I could suggest to change about the course, the venue is a little chilly at this time of year, but this is trivial since feeling cold doesn't last for long with ashtanga!

Thank you so much for a really clearly-taught, well-paced class that made demanding moves possible - I've got a lot out of it, and look forward to extending my practice further in the future.

When I went to my first yoga session with Rob with 3 other friends I have to say I was the least enthusiastic of the group but I am still attending weekly sessions 2 ½ years later and now get withdrawal symptoms if I miss a week.  Yoga has helped me through very stressful times in my life and I really like the flexibility it has given me.  Rob has a great delivery; he is very encouraging and is always ready to suggest alternatives to difficult poses in a way which puts everyone at their ease.

Rob Leadley has transformed the Yoga Society at York University. The society has had to create two extra sessions per week to cope with the extra demand that we have received since he took over as teacher. He has carefully crafted his classes to meet the standard of members, steadily increasing the intensity and complexity of the session, keeping the classes interesting, and bringing total beginners to a more advanced level of practice. Rob's teaching style makes sessions easy to follow. He explains excellently the sequence of movements for each posture, as well as providing useful demonstrations, without stopping the flow of the class. Many of our members have expressed complementary opinions about his classes, and the Society is extremely thankful to have found such a great teacher, and grateful for his contribution.
