“Saturdays Yoga tutorial was such a fun, challenging and relaxing day..

Thank you for such a lovely day on Saturday.

Gipe is able to guide us through the varied asanas, adapting equipment and each individual’s posture to insure everyone benefits fully. I left feeling happy, relaxed and determined to practice more.

Namaste Yvette”

“Hi Gipe, Thanks for a fabulous weekend.”


Thank you so much Gipe for a wonderful weekend tutorial. I enjoyed both days thoroughly and gained a greater understanding of a number of yoga poses but perhaps most importantly a greater awareness of my own body. The highlight for me was the experiential learning around establishing alignment when sitting, the benefits this brings and how immensely challenging it can be to maintain (the cabaret-style chair yoga sequence from day 1 of the tutorial is surely the perfect antidote)! I’ve come away with awareness and understanding that will be of very real benefit to my everyday life. And it was such good fun!

“I found two days really allowed me to build up my knowledge and confidence.”

The two days were different but related which I found valuable to moving my practice forward.

Gipe was happy to share her own yoga journey with us and showed us how our yoga practice changes day to day and over the years.

Poses were supported with props and adapted for individuals, Gipe's understanding of anatomy and observation made sure everyone gained from the session.

Gipe's sense of fun was very encouraging.

It was nice to meet and chat to others and enjoy a delicious lunch together.

Hopefully next time the weather will allow us to do our yoga outside in Gipe's beautiful walled garden.

I would definitely attend her retreats again and recommend them to others.

“Gipe is a wonderful teacher who combines her knowledge with a caring attitude towards each individual.”

I attended one of Gipe’s workshops, which consisted of four and a half hours of yoga and a (tasty) light lunch. 

I must admit I was apprehensive beforehand as to how I was going to cope with the duration, having only attended classes of an hour and a half prior to this.

I needn’t have worried. The class was so interesting - learning about each different pose at a more in-depth level and felt we had the luxury of time to spend really making sure everyone could achieve them.

I didn’t feel too tired at the end and the last part of the day being more restorative and breath-work oriented helped. 

Gipe is a wonderful teacher who combines her knowledge with a caring attitude towards each individual. She also has a great sense of fun which makes the whole experience very enjoyable. 

It was a lovely way to spend a day and I would recommend it to anyone who is able to devote some time to self-care and wants to go a bit deeper into their yoga experience. 

See you Friday.

“A really inclusive and welcoming space.”

Hi Gipe,

I enjoyed yesterday. Thank you.

Despite only attending for the morning whilst others had attended all day the day before, and were staying for the afternoon, it felt a really inclusive and welcoming space.

I also realised I was the only one who hadn't attended a class or workshop with you before, but this didn't matter as you explained everything clearly with lovely demonstrations and adjustments.

I love using props but don't often have the opportunity to indulge in this way. Your space and style of practice was a lovely indulgent opportunity to explore using more props. I particularly loved the idea of our body as a prop but also using the props to support our internal organs.

Iyengar is very different from how I've been practicing recently, therefore a great opportunity to explore somatically with an open mind.

I would be interested in attending future workshops. I would be happy to recommend you as I felt you were very knowledgeable and experienced and very considerate of an individual's needs, a great observer and listener.

I appreciate your time and energy and hope to meet again.

Om shanti
