I love this part of my week, coming to yoga is for me, here I can physically challenge my body (in a low impact way), recalibrate my mind and catch up with like-minded positive people.

Doing a weekly yoga class whilst I was doing my HSC years helped me to relax and concentrate especially during difficult and stressful exam periods. Yoga helped me keep my mind and body healthy.

Pilates for me is what keeps my body “in check”.  Having a dance background and living with scoliosis, I have found that Pilates is the only gentle form of stretching and strengthening that keeps my joints flexible and allows me to still teach complex dance movements.

I have noticed a great improvement since starting yoga I can now move more freely and smoothly I am really enjoying my new flexibility and confidence in moving.

I participate in variety of exercises to keep ,my strength and fitness, It was suggested I try Pilates. I love the fact you can work at your own level in class, if I want to work harder I can use the props like the small ball and bands. The atmosphere is fun but relaxing and I look forward to my weekly Friday class.

As a florist I need to keep my core strong and body flexible. I have achieved this with my weekly pilates class. I recommend pilates to anyone no matter what level of fitness you have.

I found that yoga relaxed my mind & body, enabled me to focus on breathing correctly and improved my posture and strengthened my muscles all at the same time.

Walking through the door for a class I can leave my life concerns outside, knowing that I will leave feeling stronger, supple & in a better frame of mind.

Doing yoga has made such a difference to my life, after class I have the deepest sleep, people often comment on how refreshed I look the day after and I am generally a more calm person.

I like being able to do something good for my body and feel the benefits straight after class, Leesa is a great yoga teacher who is very passionate about what she does and this is reflected in the classes we do each week.

An unexpected benefit of Yoga is that it has given me the mobility to get back into other activities that I had thought I’d have to give up.

I enjoy my weekly yoga and pilates class they have made such a difference to my health in so many ways, physically and mentally. I lost both my parents in the last year and the classes have really helped me. My family thank you too!


I do 2 – 3 classes a week, it has given me more energy, flexibility and just a general an all over great feeling. Everyone feels comfortable here and are always made feel welcome.

I have been doing Pilates for 10 years now after a debilitating injury to my spine through standing for long periods at the Operating Theatre table. Pilates has taught me abdominal core strength and control which in turn has helped me manage this injury.

I enjoy the stretching and the overall workout that we get in class it completes my week on a peaceful note. We do have fun in class and it’s always nice to see friendly familiar faces in class each week. I come every week because it makes me feel good.

I discovered “Pure Yoga” two years ago and have never been more inspired to regularly attend Leesa’s wonderful and comprehensive classes.

I have been a regular and consistent participant at Pure Yoga for 10 years. I initially joined following a lower back injury and now cannot imagine my life without my weekly ‘hit’.

…12 years later I am still coming weekly to both yoga and pilates classes. Both of these are crucial for me being healthy both mentally and physically.. I look upon my weekly yoga and pilates class as a gift to myself to keep me happy and healthy.

My health has definitely improved since doing yoga I do not have any blood pressure, weight or cholesterol problems I thank yoga for this.

I’ve been coming to Leesa’s yoga classes for the last 11 years. As a part of my exercise program I find yoga has improved my strength, flexibility, sleeping habits and the ability to relax. Overall it has improved my well being.

Pilates has helped me to keep my body in working order and whilst it can be challenging it is always rewarding. The classes are never boring – we sometimes think Leesa stays up half the night trying to think of new and amazing ways to challenge us !!!
