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.

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

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 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

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

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

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

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

Brigitte’s classes are inspiring and profoundly moving, the perspective that she brings is one that always resonates on a deep level with me. The flowing commentary, instruction and spiritual reflections are simply beautiful. There is something hypnotic about her classes because the physical and mental focus are entwined to support each other. Brigitte has a soothing reassuring warmth in her voice conveying expression and real clarity, which gives me clarity over the minor tribulations in my every day life. I continually feel a freshness, depth and new energy to my own practice now, as what I have learned comes back to me in little realisations every now and again. Through Brigitte’s teachi… Read more
