"Louise has the natural ability to inspire, share and infuse a love of yoga in a very accepting and non judgemental way"
When a shadow has light cast toward it, it begins to transform. As the light gets stronger, the shadow diminishes further, until it is simply no longer there, unmissed and unlamented. Through the practice of yoga I have become more present, more flexible, stronger, healthier, happier and attuned to my personal dance of shadows and revelations. Louise Goodvach and the teachers at Yoga Moves have helped me find my own light and direct it to where it is needed.

I have been studying Shadow Yoga with Louise (and other teachers at Yoga Moves) for many years and continue to refine my personal practice under Louise’s guidance, instruction and persistence. Louise has the natural ability to inspire, share and infuse a love of yoga in a very accepting and non judgemental way. She is extremely knowledgeable and very dedicated to working with her students on an individual level to help them deepen their personal practice, as well as continuing her own practice. The studio is bright, airy and very well organised, as is the general administration of the school. No music, vibrating floors or competitive feeling at YOGAMOVES! Yoga is not something I do, its become part of who I am with thanks to Louise and the team at Yoga Moves.

Yoga Moves offers structured term courses teaching Shadow Yoga, which is a traditional form of Hatha Yoga. Emphasis on mastering one activity before moving to the next, has taught me patience and acceptance. The process is transformative. For those wishing to embark on the journey of yoga, I could not recommended a more informed, disciplined or nurturing yoga school than Yoga Moves.

I have done Yoga for over 20 years. I have been to many different Practices and classes over those years but the last few years have been exclusively at Yoga moves with Louise because she is the best! Her way of teaching and what she teaches has evolved and moved with her increased knowledge and we, her students, benefit so much from that. She also has a team of dedicated teachers who help her and run some of the classes-they are also exemplary. In my view there is no point in going anywhere else because everything I want in terms of Yoga practice, related health advice and ways to manage various aches and ailments are all provided by Louise. I enjoy all of the classes but for me the most magical is the 6am Wednesday morning dance (Nrtta Sadhana) class. Her classes and her teaching will change the way you live – exponentially – for the better.

Before starting yoga at Yogamoves, I tried a variety of yoga schools and styles and always felt that something was missing and that I could seriously injured myself. Then, about 5 years ago, I went to one of the free classes. I was a bit skeptical as I had never heard of Shadow yoga before….by the end of the class I knew that I had found what I was looking for! It was the start of an amazing journey of self discovery and personal growth, not to mention all the physical benefits. Louise and the other teachers are excellent. They are very patient, extremely knowledgeable and encouraging. The style of teaching is rigorous, yet friendly and safe. Every week, I look forward to my class and the personal practice…it challenges me, but I always finish the practice and the class feeling alert, happier and with a huge smile! If you want to learn and start your yoga journey, I could not recommend Yogamoves enough!
