Testimonials

I stumbled across Brigitte’s yoga class about 9 years ago and accidentally embarked on an entirely wonderful and ongoing journey. I turned up to improve my fitness and flexibility; I got and keep getting so much more. Brigitte delivers a rare blend of in-depth knowledge body mechanics and spiritual integrity, delivered in a down-to-earth and warm way. Through Brigitte, I realised that the point of yoga is not to be able to tie yourself in knots but to learn how to navigate life in a healthy and happy way. The physical transformation is a welcome side effect compared to the real benefits of her teaching. On my mat, I learnt that how noisy my habitual thoughts are when meeting challenge.

When I first went along to one of Brigitte’s classes I had absolutely no idea what I was letting myself in for. I was somewhat sceptical and not just a little apprehensive. However, Brigitte’s such a great tutor. She makes everything fall into place so effortlessly – helping even a real novice like me assume positions that I’d never ever dreamed of. At times I still can’t quite understand why I’d even want to. All I know is that, with Brigitte’s encouragement, I do (even if, I have to admit, its not always with the greatest of success). But it’s not the physical side of things that keeps me going back for more. Precisely what it is, I don’t yet really know. Maybe it’s to do with the feeling … Read more

Brigitte’s beautifully designed classes are a culmination of her years of experience and her innate ability to connect with her students. She manages to gently encourage her beginners, yet stretch her experienced yoginis; to be soulful, yet playful, all at the same time. Brigitte’s authenticity and wonderful philosophy make every session meaningful, and her teachings always inspire me to take something forward into my daily life. Whether it’s vinyasa, yin, meditation, or nidra, she brings her own unqiue magic every time, and her sessions and retreats always leave me feeling ‘smoothed out’ in both body and mind. Read more

I started to practice yoga with Brigitte in 2008 and put simply, it has had a profoundly positive effect on my life to the extent that I am now a yoga teacher myself. If I am able to impart a tenth of the inspiration, hope and joy in my own students as she has in me, then I know that I’m on the right track. Read more

Brigitte is one of those unique teachers who is always growing herself through practise, training and experience and manages to synthesise these facets into understandable practises and philosophy for her students. She is an inspirational teacher and writer, helping me push my personal boundaries. She has also helped me rebuild post various injuries and surgeries over the last few years, yet manages to keep the experience fun and challenging, hence the reason I always come back. Her retreats are exceptional and the fact that she cares about you as a person too, shines through everything she does. I could not recommend Brigitte more highly. Read more

Brigitte’s classes always make me happy. She teaches from her heart and draws on her huge amount of knowledge and experience to give each person in her class a special practice, tailored to them. Be prepared to play! Read more

If you’re wondering whether to try this or not, I’d say (unreservedly, and from personal experience). Oh my good gosh, you have to experience this at least once in your life. Whether you’re starting out on your yoga journey and you’re scared it’s too advanced; or whether you’ve never experienced yoga nidra and meditation, and you’re wondering whether it’s a bit flippin’ weird; or whether the thought of gongs and meditation is just one step too far…just trust: it’s amazing. This is Brigitte’s special magic, and to experience all this just once in a lifetime, all in one day, is a truly special thing. It all takes place in a safe, warm, and comfortable environment, where you just op… Read more

Brigitte is an amazing teacher! Full of fun, experience and compassion. Her classes flow, they give me strength, confidence, they are fun although sometimes challenging, which always keeps me coming back. I’m so happy that I was  introduced to yoga by Brigitte. I also attended a retreat that she organized in Italy and made some great new friends, we laughed so much and had a most inspiring yoga experience. I will definitely go on another retreat with Brigitte…. I Love Yoga! Thank you Brigitte. Read more

Brigitte is not only a brilliant meditation and yoga teacher but an amazingly selfless and inspiring individual. She’s always learning more to pass on to her yogis. Whether at one of her yoga classes, meditation or the sublime restorative yoga, she takes great care of us all and you can’t fail to leave inspired and feeling a whole lot better than when you went in! Personally Brigitte has given me loads of free advice, particularly when I was seriously ill last year. Everyone should try her classes or retreats. You will wish you joined years ago! Read more

I have been practicing yoga with Brigitte for a number of years and have also been lucky enough to join her on several retreats. Brigitte is an inspiring and knowledgeable teacher, her enthusiasm is contagious. She is one of those charismatic people who have the rare quality of creating an atmosphere of self belief and trust. I began practicing yoga following a devastating period in my life when I lost someone very dear to me. In addition to this I work with children who have experienced extreme loss and trauma. The work can leave me feeling sad and empty at times. On my journey to experience and learn yoga I had a desire to build physical strength and flexibility. Whilst this began to take … Read more
