Farewell to Harry

We wish you well and will miss you !

Harry said “Bristol has been the best years of my life and yoga is the best of Bristol”

Harry has been coming to a weekly class with Jess and Melroy since he started yoga at the age of 96 a few years ago.

It’s been a joy to have Harry in class at Yogawest and he has inspired younger newcomers to the Gentle class with his ‘can-do’ attitude, agility and quick wit.

A huge thank you is due to Jess and Melroy who have guided Harry through his yoga practice at Yogawest, with patience and great caring.

We threw Harry a tea party to celebrate his retirement from yoga classes this Autumn at the amazing age of 99. It was great to let him know how much we’ve enjoyed having him at Yogawest over the last few years: Harry is truly an example to us all!
