Testimonials
I just wanted to pass on my thanks.I entered your class with a feeling of nervousness and trepidation having never tried yoga before but from the moment you greeted me I felt completely at ease. As you walked us through meditation, gentle stretches and poses I felt my mind and heart meet and my tired worn out body melt into my yoga mat. I leave your classes with kindness and gratitude and a feeling of complete relaxation. It’s like being wrapped up in a big nurturing hug and then leaving in a bubble of light and love. It’s an hour of my week that allows me to recover and appreciate my place in the world and for that I’m truly grateful.Thank you Fi.Many thanks

I have been attending Fiona’s yoga classes since early 2017. The smaller class sizes ensure you are treated as an individual, not a number, and are held in a setting which makes you feel immediately relaxed.You feel nurtured right from the beginning - starting the class with a restorative pose, guided at your own pace and ability throughout the session, and ending with yoga nidra accompanied by singing bowls. Impromptu discussions at the end of class have been enlightening and informative. I have found her restorative yoga invaluable as a way to deal with my recent lumbar pain. I feel completely confident recommending Fi as your hatha yoga instructor and know my life has been enriched by taking regular weekly classes with her.Cathrine .M
I love the yoga classes because of the balance between stretching, strength, relaxation and meditation, and the peaceful atmosphere Fiona creates for the class. I feel great afterwards.

Fiona you are the best yoga teacher I have ever had. I really appreciate your thoughtfulness and sensitivity to my needs and level. You are always giving positive feedback which had encouraged me to build my confidence in myself and in my mind and body.Your yoga sessions are so supportive, informative, clear, loving and your wealth of knowledge is amazing. You inspire me to be more. I especially love the way you finish your sessions. I feel like you transport me through the universe through the sounds of the crystal bowl and mediation at the end. It sets my day and week to flow beautifully. Thank you so much for everything you offer, you are truly amazing and I am so grateful to you.

It was great to have been a part of a wonderful weekend with like minded Ladies. It certainly was value for money, you get what you pay for, true luxury costs money.The yoga and Yoga Nidra was my favourite part. The Accomodation and the food was 10/10. Im feeling very rested and more in tune with myself.

The 4 day Autumn Retreat was not long enough, i would love to do a week long Retreat.Great all round value,I felt Id travelled to the other side of the world for a fraction of the price, considering the Luxury accomodation, this was very affordable. the food was divine, especially the beetroot chia, pumpkin bread and the Porridge ...Yum. The laughter and Friendship was the highlight. the group came together so well. Fiona did an amazing job at making everyone feel a part of the group so that each person could work on what they individually needed, within the safety of the group.I have nurtured myself and then rejuvenated with the beautiful food that was prepared along with the yoga and meditation.the weather & environment was magical and created an atmosphere where all this could happen. Exceptional.

My favourite part of The Autumn Retreat was the food and the healing session...very effective! The venue and food was a 10, loved the Buffelo cauliflower. Worth every dollar, maybe you could offer a massage at your future retreats. My bowels have cleared out and I feel different to when I arrived, I feel lighter.

I was so comfortable with the price of the retreat, it reflected the whole experience, top quality Luxury accomodation, location was stunning as well as the food and the program. I have really loved the Retreat, each part playing an important part in healing, nourishing and self care/Love. I Loved the waterfall visit, and the cocao ceremony around the fire pit was very special and unique. All the meals i loved and I know i can make them at home and my family will love them to. The Yoga was Wonderful, Fiona is an amazing teacher, who is truely dedicated and an inspirational gentle and loving soul.Thankyou X
I feel I am more content, energised, and relaxed, cleansed and nourished. My physical body and spiritually feeling more aligned and starting to realise my inner wisdom and knowing and trusting it. I could do with a longer retreat next time. xx

The Bright retreat was just what i needed. The food and the venue was well worth the price anomy favourite part was throwing my negative word rock into the beautiful waterfall, It felt so good to physically let it go and release the emotion. I Loved the veggie based food, especially the breakfasts. I can't wait to make the pumpkin bread. my yoga experience was really good and i think the main change is that I feel like I've figured out how and who I want to be moving forward. Ive got some great take aways from this retreat. x

The Trentham women's Retreats definitely a 10. I had trusted it would be amazing value for money. I honestly count improve anything. It was so special and perfect.The knowledge, the people, the atmosphere, it really can't be put into words.i look forward to make all the food at home, especially the Muesli, so delicious and the dhal soup. My favourite part was EVERYTHING. The support and love was felt all throughout the weekend and I felt safe, loved and heard. My mind, body and spirit have had a much needed break and refill. The food was phenomenal because I could taste every ounce of love, compassion care and passion and talent from Fiona's cooking! 20/10...100 actually ;)
The Yoga was a perfect and profound way to start the day. The yoga set us up for every single day. I feel that i have managed to shed away some beliefs that were no longer serving their purpose. i feel lighter and stronger. I feel more connected to women and myself.
