Liverpool Iyengar Yoga Studio is located in a fairly odd location of Mathew Street, tucked away in…read morethe streets of several restaurants, bars and the famous Beatles Shop. If you are looking for a stretch, this studio offers yoga classes with qualified teachers holding the Certification Mark from Iyengar Yoga Association (UK). Their timetables and booking fees can be found online and by collecting a flyer outside their doors. Whatever your level, they cater for most abilities and provide 90 minute daily and weekly sessions during their courses. The levels are split up into beginner, general and intermediate so there is nothing to fear but fear itself I guess! Yoga is a great form of gentle exercise and relaxation, ideal if you enjoy a good workout or feel stressed out. I may even consider Yoga myself!

Master teacher Judi Soffa is a generous and kind teacher without losing any of the exactitude of the Iyengar method. Beginners' courses are offered -- see the website -- and of the intermediate classes, the one on Thursday morning is the more advanced and is attended by other yoga teachers, several of whom have been trained by Judi. A joyous and illuminating experience even if you aren't advanced!

I was a nervous novice when I began 5 weeks ago worried about joining a group of people I'd never met. Stephen ( the trainer) made me feel welcome and guided me through what would be going on in each lesson. He is always encouraging and never expects more than you can give. I would recommend these sessions to anyone and to say if you are nervous don't worry so was I and now I wouldn't be without it. Stephen gives each and every members support. The whole group is supportive and encouraging and they all made me feel welcome. So if you are self conscious don't be I was and now I couldn't care less about anyone watching. If you are looking to start training then this is the place to go.

With the afternoon sun baking the grass and a cricket match in full swing it couldn't have been a more idyllic a day to sit outside and pretend to know what was going on. It felt like a trip back into the Edwardian age, one of wood smoke and cider, when the drowsy summer tranquility would be interrupted by a bicycle courier stammering out news of the Hun. Sefton Cricket Club sits just inside the bordered vegetation of the park yet boasts a surprisingly varied selection of draughts that reduced me to a kid in a candy store. Judging by the first names being bandied around the place, everybody here knew everybody else in an envy-generating manner of good will. I wish I had friends. I'd recommend going here, but only under the exact same circumstances that I did. Then you can sit back with the sounds of leather cracking on willow and think of England.
