I have been doing online classes with Gerda at Yoga Metta for a few years now. I find the classes helpful and convenient and despite being online, Gerda still personalises the class .and observes us all and corrects and assists where necessary.

After a long break in my practice I attended the Jump Start course with some friends, all of varying experience. Aside from being a beautiful space, the classes and teachers are authentic, and challenged all of us just the right amount without scaring anyone away. Perfectly paced. Whether you are new to yoga or have a strong practice I highly recommend Iyengar and Yoga Metta to ensure your practice is safe and strong. I'll be back!

I have been taking yoga therapy classes with Jo and Gerda at Yoga Metta for the past month. They are both excellent instructors and put me to ease with their friendliness and compassion. For every class, they plan a unique programme of exercises best suited to address my medical conditions. As I am a beginner to yoga, they take extra care to ensure that I am comfortable with each yoga pose and give me props to support my body and make the routines easier. Their teaching is very systematic and organised – they break down each exercise into a simple sequence of steps and also perform demonstrations for me to follow. Attending weekly therapy classes has made a significant positive difference to my physical and mental wellbeing. Gerda and Jo are extremely supportive and take the time to understand each student’s medical history so that an individualised course of yoga therapy can be designed for them.

I go to the beginners classes and have done a couple of the workshops now which I LOVE! They’re so accessible as they run at least 2 a month and a lot of those are for all levels. I’ve been taught by Gerda. She’s great at guiding you through and gives time and attention wherever possible to helping you make adjustments and realign. I love the props and how they help personalise any pose so you can always have a go and work towards the idea of the more advanced stuff. The ropes are something that as a beginner I never thought I’d be able to hang off but I feel great upside down. It’s one f my absolute faves. I feel so open and calm after practicing Iyengar! Thanks Yoga Metta for bringing balance and joy!

What a fantastic addition to the Leeds fitness, health and wellbeing scene. Yoga Meta is a safe, nurturing place where you can be yourself whether you are new to Iyengar yoga or more experienced.. Gerda Bayliss and the other teachers are wonderful - inspiring and empathetic. You don't even need your own mat. Everything is provided, plenty of classes to choose from and the location is great. I can highly recommend Yoga Metta. Love it!
