“DeRose Method is the friendliest class I have been to, yet after each time I feel I have worked hard and progressed. I wouldn't have believed it but thanks to the instructor easy manner and gentle encouragement I managed a very difficult body position at my first class.”
Melissa McConnel, Communications manager
"I would recommend DeRose Method classes to anyone. After attending it class for a few weeks I found my flexibility, posture and balance really improved. I also found it a great way to relax and de-stress. Luciana is a highly professional instructor and offers all her students support and encouragement to do their best in her class."
Cera Murtagh, Journalist
“I have been attending DeRose Method classes for over a year now on a weekly basis. I notice increased flexibility and toning and really enjoy the practice. I always come away from the classes feeling energised. Luciana is a patient and encouraging instructor and I would encourage anyone to attend her classes.”
Katie, Manager
"I have thoroughly enjoy attending DeRose Method classes for the last 18 months. There is no doubt that they are hard work but also enjoyable and fun due to the ability of the instructor. I can certainly feel a significant difference in my strength and flexibility. The neck pain which I used to have constantly is now infrequent. When I do experience it I use what I have learned at those classes to alleviate it. I think that all sports people would find these of great benefit when training. Thank you."

“DeRose Method has provided me with a ancient technique to establish a new understanding of my body and an opportunity to expand its potential. Throughout my weekly sessions I have learnt to accept my initial limitations of my body and enjoy my gradual confidence and pleasure in reshaping my body and my own perception of it. I consider myself extremely fortunate to have found in this particular method and its instructor in Edinburgh, Luciana, a true inspirational source.”
Antonio Sánchez, University lecturer
“I am a singer and was interested in working on my breath control. However, from the very start I really enjoyed the camaraderie of all the class trying our best together, and no-one is perfect, which is great for morale. I always feel invigorated at the end of a class and love the challenge of making small improvements every time. I never thought I'd feel so enthusiastic about the classes but I really look forward to each one.”
Laura Malcolm, Solicitor
“I first got in touch with DeRose Method in 2004/2005 in Portugal. At the time I didn't know much about DeRose Method but soon realised how powerful and important it was. I stopped for a few years and only came back to it this year. Although it has been a while, my body and mind missed it. It is a very potent technique and I am glad I started doing it again.
It is quite difficult to put into words why I like DeRose Method so much. I would argue that you need to see (experience) it for yourself, but I will try my best to express what is it like for me. First, and the most obvious, is the fact that it helps you to keep in shape, by making your muscles stronger and more flexible. Your body, each time you do it, becomes more use to the exercise so it feels natural. Also it is very good for your mind and not only because your body is healthy - it is also because we practise meditation. I, a restless mind, find meditation one of the best things to help me have a better concentration and feel calmer.
Personally I like it because it makes sense - it is not only a type of workout, it can also be a philosophy of life. It makes sense to me and so far I only meet nice people that teach and
practice this way of life, so I am happy when I go to DeRose Method classes. So not only you are good to your body and mind, but you do it in a healthy and warm environment.”
