Just Balance - Holistic Health and Yoga

"When I first started yoga classes with Just Balance I was an absolute novice. Georgina was very generous in helping me learn without making me feel as inept as I obviously was! As I learned, Georgina would just make timely prompts and explanations which I knew the others didn’t need, but I did and I really appreciated.

"Most of all I appreciate how these classes have helped calm my mind which is often full of noise from a demanding job, family and life. These classes have given me a method of relaxing and destressing that has made a noticeable difference to my attitude to life and ability to enjoy all that’s going on – rather than be burdened by it."

"Georgina has been relieving me of my various aches and pains now for many months. I have been from therapist to therapist over the years never quite finding the relief I was after until I discovered Georgina at Just Balance. Georgina always finds my problem areas and treats me accordingly, always with my utmost comfort in mind. I recommend her wholeheartedly."

“I have attended Georgina’s classes for over three years and have benefited greatly from her ability to help me create a sense of inner stillness and peace while managing in a high pressure corporate environment. Georgina has a special gift in understanding her students needs and leads a class that has helped me achieve a balance in my body between strength and softness.”

"Yoga with Georgina is a wonderful way to rebalance body and mind. I’ve practiced yoga, on and off, for many years, and I am well aware of its benefits. However a riding accident, followed by major hip surgery, meant I needed individual help to regain full mobility and strength. After a few months of private sessions I was fitter and stronger than I had been in years and easily able to move into a group class. Georgina’s focus on stretch, and her receptiveness to individual needs, means that however I feel on the day I know I will benefit from the class."

"I cannot speak highly enough of Georgina, both as a professional yoga teacher and a practical down to earth stretch therapist.

"Before starting Georgina’s classes, I was a grumpy old woman — over the hill, overweight and overwhelmed physically, mentally and emotionally, both in my professional and personal life.

"I didn’t realise how shallow, rough and jerky my breathing was. When Georgina demonstrated the health benefits of being able to take charge of one’s breathing, I knew as a sixty year old, that my body was winding down, closing up and rusting up, and my sacrum, pelvic floor and all the other bits Georgina talks about were well past their 'use-by date'. I could only look forward to more aches and pains and a lessening ability to enjoy life. My life was restricted by having to think about what bit of me was going to hurt if I had to bend down to a low shelf in the supermarket.

"After six months of Georgina’s classes, a gentle mix of encouraging postures and stretch exercises, not only do I feel a wonderful sense of accomplishment but I also have a sense that my flexibility, wellbeing and lack of aches and pains will improve even further.

"Students in Georgina’s classes feel as though she is tailoring each movement and posture to the needs and abilities of each individual. I leave the class with a wonderful sense of achievement but still knowing that under Georgina’s guidance I have even more achievable health and wellness goals to look forward to."

"The year of 2008 is ending Georgina, and I again have to thank you for guiding me through another year of recovery from breast cancer and the various ageing and 'prone to accidents' events which I seem to encounter along the way. I am still amazed at how my posture has changed for the better — how freer my movements are and how I actually now incorporate yoga movements into my daily life.

"My yoga practice with you gives me a feeling of confidence in my ability to stay active and healthy, and the peace of mind to appreciate the world around me."

"Georgina is a wonderful massage therapist. My weekly massage is not only very relaxing but it also helps me maintain good back health. Georgina is able to find the tight muscles I get from sitting at a computer for hours as well as the back strain of lifting my toddler and carrying him about! In her capable hands the tight and knotted muscles loosen and lengthen and they feel so much more flexile and relaxed. I have been treating myself to a weekly massage for many years now because it is GREAT physically and mentally! My mum also has a weekly massage and she looks forward to it as one of the best parts of her week.

When I was pregnant my weekly massage was heaven. Georgina was able to massage me from day one of the pregnancy right up until I gave birth. The massage helped me stay in good shape, be relaxed and prepared for the birth in the best way possible. She was able to soothe my tired back, arms and legs and I didn't have any swelling as she kept the circulation moving.

I can highly recommend a massage from Georgina - whether you are young or old and especially if you are pregnant - it is a great way to heal the body, relax the mind and nurture the spirit!"
