“Thank you, Melissa for opening my eyes to Yoga. Chair YOGA is wonderful! It’s very relaxing for the body and I thoroughly enjoy it. I’ve met some wonderful ladies and hope I can carry on for awhile. Thanking you once again.”
“The only hour of the week where I fully relax and think about nothing other than what I’m doing in that moment. A great strengthening workout and fantastic for your wellbeing. Melissa is just wonderful, such a calming voice that’s perfect for a Monday evening.”
“I have been going to Melissa’s classes for 11 years. I started off with yoga and now my ‘go to’ classes are Mat Pilates and Vinyasa Yoga. The pilates classes really help with core strength. Melissa is fabulous and the classes are fun but work you hard. Everyone is so friendly and there is always a workshop or social such as walking, theatre trips and nights out if you want to join in. I would highly recommend.”
“For almost 2 years I’ve attended Melissa’s friendly Chair Yoga classes at the welcoming Yoga Bee Studio. An hour just for me, to still my mind and gradually improve my body strength. Perfect!”
“I absolutely love chair yoga sessions with the brilliant knowledgeable Mel. She’s so welcoming! It’s comfortable for all levels and you leave feeling uplifted. I’ve missed some time due to illness but I’m back soon and can’t wait for Wednesday morning practice with a great group of friends.”
“I’ve been doing chair yoga for 15 months now. The class helps me relax and feel more supple, giving me extra energy. A fab social time with lovely people. The icing on the cake is Melissa, wonderful.”
“Yoga: Melissa’s Yoga classes at Yoga Bee are absolutely fantastic! After attending for 3 years, Yoga has helped me physically build strength, flexibility and balance, but the biggest benefit has been for my mind. The practice gives me a space to slow down, breathe and reset, helping me feel calmer, more focused and better able to handle life’s stresses. Melissa is an incredible instructor and really supportive and the community at Yoga Bee makes every class a joy. No matter how I feel when I arrive, I always leave feeling lighter and more at peace. If you’re looking for something that nurtures both body and mind, I can’t recommend Yoga Bee enough!
Pilates: I’ve found Pilates has been amazing for building core strength, improving posture, and enhancing flexibility and it perfectly complements Yoga by adding stability and control to flowing movements. What makes this class truly special, though, is the wonderful sense of community. Melissa is an incredible instructor—knowledgeable, supportive, and always bringing great energy. The Pilates group is welcoming and friendly, making every session both uplifting and rewarding. Whether you’re a yogi looking to strengthen your practice or new to movement, this class is a perfect fit. Highly recommend!”
“I have attended Melissa’s classes on and off for years. In fact, I think her yoga class is the first yoga class I ever went too! I love her classes and I always recommend her to friends and family because every session feels different, but every session feels soft and welcoming. Melissa always makes adaptions if there’s something you can’t do, and now she has her own venue it’s a cherry on top! It’s such a beautiful space to be in, warm and welcoming not just by her but her attendees as well. Thank you, Melissa for bringing your gifts to the world. Namaste.”
“Pilates is a great core workout. I’ve really seen a change in my lower belly it’s definitely flatter. Highly recommend!!”
“I’ve been going to chair Yoga for about 18 months now. Every body is very supportive and helpful, kind and friendly. Melissa keeps a close eye on everyone to make sure they are doing everything right so as not too harm themselves. I feel a new woman since I started and have made lots of lovely friends.”
“I do the Hatha yoga class once a week and rarely miss a class because I love it so much! I’ve practised yoga for about 15 years, the past 7 years or so with Melissa. From the first session I knew I’d stick at it as Mel is so welcoming. I get so much from my weekly class, taking an hour out of my busy week to dedicate to my own health and wellbeing is never wasted!”
“I love going to Pilates as it keeps my joints moving. Sometimes I don’t really feel like going but I’m always glad I made the effort when the class starts. Great bunch of ladies – I’ve made lots of new friends.”
“Great classes! One of the best instructors I’ve had over the many years of doing Pilates. Fantastic for core strength and my body has never been as toned. Plus Melissa is a brilliant yoga teacher for anyone wanting to get into her classes. Great social side too – I have made some fabulous friends along the way.”
“I love Mat Pilates and Yoga! I find both classes full of friendly people. Melissa is an excellent teacher, explains everything and puts us through our paces, but always manages to keep it fun. She helps my body and soul.”
“I have been coming to Melissa’s classes for over ten years and enjoyed, Hatha and Vinyasa Yoga, Mat Pilates, Core Pilates and Trigger Pilates. The classes are excellent, well planned and different every time. You work to your level and listen to your body. Melissa’s knowledge is amazing but she also makes the classes fun. The studio is a great space and even has a heated floor! Melissa has built a lovely community around yoga, a safe space, and she also has a walking group and book club. The workshops are a great way to try new things. I highly recommend Yoga Bee to everyone from complete beginners to advanced.”
“Yoga Bée Pilates & yoga classes keep me supple & sane! Excellent venue, great instructor and a very sociable group of Yogis. It’s more than just exercise – there are lots of spin off social activities and a great support network.”
“I’ve attended Melissa’s chair yoga class for a few months now. I have health issues but she makes the classes suitable for all levels of ability. I really enjoy the sessions which are helping with flexibility, reducing aches and pains, increasing energy levels and also relaxing my mind. I feel wonderful afterwards, thanks Melissa.”
“I’ve been practising Pilates for over 3 years now. It’s the only exercise I have enjoyed and stuck at. It’s great for building core body strength and has really helped to keep my sciatica at bay. I also enjoy Trigger Pilates which I find therapeutic and great for easing aching muscles.”
“I have been coming to Melissa’s classes now for just over a year, during that time I have attended various classes to identify which ones benefited/ helped me the most with my chronic back condition and generalised arthritis. I now regularly attend Trigger Pilates, Hot Yin Yoga and Hatha Yoga. The benefit I get from doing these classes is immense, I have nicknamed the classes ‘My medicine time’. I can start the class full of aches and pains and afterwards I feel so much better. It is the best exercise I have ever done and I really enjoy going. I also feel fitter and stronger. The studio is lovely, modern, tranquil and warm and everyone is very friendly. I have learned lots from Melissa and I can’t thank her enough. I would highly recommend Yoga Bee.”
