Testimonials
Brigitte’s Yoga Retreats can be summed up in one word ‘Bliss’. Everything is so well organised and there is a healthy mix of less experienced yogis, seasoned yogi’s and yoga teachers (there for their own holiday, not to teach). There is always just the right blend of yoga and recreation. I always return refreshed in both mind and body. That at least half of the yogis had been on Brigitte’s retreats many times previously says it all. Read more

If youre wondering whether to try this or not, Id say (unreservedly, and from personal experience). Oh my good gosh, you have to experience this at least once in your life. Whether youre starting out on your yoga journey and youre scared its too advanced; or whether youve never experienced yoga nidra and meditation, and youre wondering whether its a bit flippin weird; or whether the thought of gongs and meditation is just one step too far just trust: its amazing. This is Brigittes 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

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

I first went on retreat with Brigitte after deciding I needed to get out of my comfort zone and face some fears. I had never been away on my own and never flown for more than 4 hours so after Brigitte was recommended to me I decided to jump in at the deep end and go to Goa with her. From the moment arriving at the airport Brigitte and her partner Brian were very welcoming and made me feel part of the group. I had the best time! My physical practice evolved, and my meditation practice too during the 10 days. I met some beautiful souls and have really lovely memories from the first retreat and my second which proved to be just as amazing!! Read more

Since practicing yoga with Brigitte I have learned to weave what I learn in classes into everyday life rather than just turning up on my mat once a week. Brigitte is inspirational and teaches from her heart, she uses real life experiences and opens her heart to all, I always feel empowered to try new things and enjoy the journey. I come out of classes feeling nurtured and relaxed. I feel blessed to have found such a wonderful and inspiring teacher. Read more

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.

I started yoga with Brigitte about 3 years ago and she has introduced me to a wealth of different yoga styles allowing me space to grow and develop in my practice. She is a very senior yoga teacher and is able to offer a very safe environment and ensures the classes are inclusive for all levels adapting her class and styles to the audience. Brigitte works with very creative sequencing to always bring something new to class. She offers yoga beyond the asana working very closely with the breath and incorporating meditation and pranayama into her classes allowing you to not just work our but also work in. Brigitte also regularly attends training’s to ensure she is up to date with the latest dev… Read more
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
