Testimonials
Lou is a great teacher; he is always very helpful and can answer any questions you may have about the class. He allows you to work at your own pace and offers alternatives for every level. Hatha yoga with Lou has been very beneficial for me, in both strength building and emotional gain. I would recommend this class for anyone who has an interest in yoga; it’s amazing how much you can get out each class. I always leave feeling revitalised and happier about the week ahead!

The classes are friendly, non-competitive and fun. Lou's clear explanation and demonstration of all the yoga poses allows even the novice to participate fully. At the end of the class, every muscle has been stretched and you feel relaxed and energised. It is always worth the effort, even on a cold winter night.
Janet
I have participated in Lou’s yoga classes for the last 6 months. Lou provides a holistic view of yoga and I find that the atmosphere is both relaxing and challenging as he encourages participants to work at their own pace. Yoga has helped me physically, mentally and spiritually and has helped me remain positive and grounded through a challenging period of my life. Prior to yoga I felt lethargic, tired and experienced a mind full of chatter. Since practicing I now have a more calm and positive approach to life; feel confident that I am able to face challenges as they come my way and now find the strength to react to situations in a healthy way. Thank you Lou.

I began yoga classes as a way to relieve stress and break-up my existing exercise routine. I've found that yoga has also improved my flexibility and strength, and I leave each class feeling positive and energised. Lou is friendly and supportive, and encourages you to develop your practice to meet personal goals and needs. When Lou touches on yoga philosophy, he does so in a simple and non intrusive way, providing a practical framework to experience inner peace based on universal principles. Each class presents new challenges and, as hard as it can be to brave Canberra's winter weather each week, it's always been worth it.

I thoroughly enjoy attending Lou's Yoga classes. Not only are they challenging, flowing and fun, but afterwards I am left with a sense of achievement and inner peace. Lou is not only a fantastic practitioner, he is an excellent teacher. His compassion and down-to-earth approach to yoga is inspiring. I would highly recommend taking Yoga classes with Lou to anyone.
Brooke
Lou is an insightful, very supportive and skilful yoga instructor. Within the class his approach provides a sense of calmness, confidence and a positive outlook to participants. He models the movements as he gently directs us enabling us to have a clear idea of what to do. His classes are very well balanced. The class begins with a short overview of the benefits of yoga, proceeds through a gentle warm up to a range of movements to improve our posture, tone our muscles and increase flexibility. A highlight of the night is a relaxation activity when one can shed the stresses of the day. Some of the benefits we have gained include increased flexibility, feeling more energised and developing an understanding of the role yoga can play in improving our well- being.

I have been attending Lou's classes for two terms now. I always look forward to that hour of my week. It's a great workout, can be as challenging as you want it to be and leaves you feeling energised and centred. I especially enjoy the relaxation part at the end of class which helps give me clarity of mind. Great location too!.
Jonathan
I am new to Canberra and was particularly looking for a yoga class that was based on Hatha style yoga, and was in the vicinity of where I lived. Lou is a good instructor, is patient, friendly, encourages people to work at their own level and is happy to adapt the class for particular requests. Being able to attend a choice of classes is an added bonus, for it provides some flexibility to the week.
Val
I am comparatively new to yoga and really enjoy Lou's class. I find the stretching and meditation extremely beneficial as I am toning up but I also feeling much less stressed and more relaxed. I would recommend the class to both beginners and those who are experienced at yoga as I think Lou instructs to meet all skill levels.

In Feburary 2006 I sustained a burns injury to 22% of my body. As part of my rehabilitation Yoga was suggested to me by my doctor. In 2008 I started Yoga with Lou Nulley. From my first class I felt better spiritually and after three classes my body really started to respond positively. I started to do Yoga at home for twenty minutes a night, as well as classes, and I have been astounded at how fast my flexibility has started to return. I feel more confident and strong in myself then I have in the last two years
