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 that with Brigitte’s help I’m finally learning to be at peace with myself and the world around me. The one thing I am certain about though is that from the moment I sit on my mat at the beginning of each session I feel privileged simply to be a part of it.
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. More importantly, I discovered the magic that unfolds by meeting life’s challenges by simply putting my attention on my breath, being open to possibility and letting go of any expectation, positive or negative. As well as lovely friends, amazing memories from retreats and the ability to touch my toes, yo… 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.

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

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 open up somehow and have fun too, amongst like-minded people of differing abilities. And I only know this because Ive been there time and time again and every time I go I learn something new: about my body, my life, or my soul. Maybe youre already an experienced yogi, so you can revel in Brigitte… 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 have been on 3 retreats with Brigitte, and loved every moment of each one. The yoga is a combination of challenging, fun and deeply relaxing, and Brigitte as a teacher is warm, funny and extremely knowledgeable. On each retreat there was a fabulous group dynamic, and I put this down to Brigittes ability to foster a special family feeling for the duration. I am already looking for the next one to book!

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
