Past Reviews (optional)

"The yoga flow was very well thought from beginning to end. Alice is very welcoming and caring - I felt really safe under her guidance, especially when practising with closed eyes, she always reassured us that she was watching the surroundings. After the classes I attended I felt grounded, connected to my body, uplifted and revitalised. The whole experience was so meditative and peaceful, I would definitely recommend it and cannot wait to practise again!" - Veronika "Alice had a gentle and serene aura as she guided us through some poses, I felt comfortable and safe. Her variation on savasana was beautiful, viewing the wind blowing in the trees as we laid in nature, it was something I had never experienced. I left feeling calm and connected with nature and those around me. Being able to pause, whilst surrounded by trees, hearing the birds, brought awareness to the importance of stopping. Thank you Alice!" - Sarah "Alice encouraged us to draw inspiration from the strength of the trees and the calmness in the air, guiding us through a series of poses that mimicked these elements. Her gentle reminders to stay present and absorb the natural beauty around us elevated the session, making it a truly immersive experience... Whether you're an experienced yogi or a beginner, this is an experience not to be missed." - Neha
