Sandra McNerney

Sandra believes movement should be a highlight in our day; not another thing on our to do list. Her philosophy is simple: if you enjoy your exercise, you’ll come back for more. It’s regularity and consistency that will unlock the amazing benefits of movement in the body and mind.

Sandra is a qualified yoga teacher and also runs popular chair yoga classes in partnership with Harrogate Library. She knows that yoga isn’t for everyone and Use it or Lose it focuses solely on mobility, stretching and balance work, without the spiritual and philosophical sides of traditional yoga.

She specialises in working with students in the 50+ age group, creating a safe and welcoming space for beginners and more experienced movers alike. She is experienced in adapting and modifying exercises to make them accessible and enjoyable for all.
