SANDHYA Allsebrook has recently completed 20 years of teaching Aquafit at Meadowlands Pool.

She was presented with champagne, chocolates and roses to mark the occasion by manager Dave Smith at the start of her 50+ class.

Sandhya originally started her fitness career as a Yoga teacher and dance and movement instructor. She has trained through various disciplines of Aquafit and it has become her passion.

Aquafit is exercising to music in water. It provides all the benefits of exercise without the risk of injury. Water can be used either for support or resistance, so that muscles can be made to work harder than on dry land, without risking damage to the joints, whatever your fitness, age, size or shape.

Sandhya has been teaching three sessions a week at Meadowlands and has a loyal following of committed customers, some of whom have been attending her classes since she first began teaching.

She said it gave her enormous pleasure to see all of the smiles at the end of the class.
