As Sports Coordinator at St Mary Star of the Sea College I have used KinKou Yoga for the Yr 7 and the Yr 9/10 Sport program since 2015. Kathy provides an excellent variety of Yoga classes that suit the needs and abilities of the students in every class. She has a positive and caring approach with the students, clearly explaining, demonstrating and encouraging each student to work to her potential and within safe boundaries. The students respond well, and happily express their enjoyment of the classes to me. The classes promote strength, flexibility, balance, focus, attention and relaxation. Yoga is a popular sport choice on our program and classes always fill quickly at enrolment time. I recommend KinKou Yoga for any schools wishing to offer Yoga for school Sport or PDHPE lessons.

I didn’t realise how many things there were to do with yoga and how fun it would be. I loved doing breathing exercises and relaxation as they both calmed me and helped me somehow.

I gained much more confidence and awareness in my body. I also learned ways to relax and when I’m stressed I know ways to make me feel better.

It was relaxing, I lost all thoughts of stress/headaches/school work and felt calm. I had a more focused mind at the end of each session.

It was peaceful. I learnt that in yoga I don’t have to be perfect, that it doesn’t have to be like the images on the internet.

I felt very safe and supported. I finally found a sport option that is good for me. I plan to use yoga for the rest of my life now.

I used to think yoga was boring and only for flexible people but that is not the case. I also learnt that your pose doesn’t have to be perfect.
