Lastly thank you to my life partner, Adrian for booking this as my birthday gift without you I wouldn’t have been part of this amazing weekend! Btw best yoga retreat EVER!
• Joanna T. Amber is a brilliant teacher. The atmosphere she creates is so relaxing. I always leave her classes feeling rejuvenated, completely relaxed, and with a calm, peaceful mind. Also she really helps you to work to your full potential with every pose so you get a thorough deep stretch. I suffer with lower back pain and tension in my neck and shoulders and a general state of stress - I realise this because of how calm I feel after her classes! And it's so relieving to stretch out all my tense areas. I can't recommend her enough.
• The location, absolutely beautiful. A great mix of people, and with lack of phone signal and TV, we sat and "spoke" :) Just like it used to be. I really enjoyed the mix of yoga, and learnt a lot of new things. Also learning that vegan food can taste so good.
• Amber created a wonderful relaxed environment for the weekend enabling a group of strangers to become connected. Smooth clear instruction and well targeted tweaks to enhance technique were beautifully given and the mix of yoga styles made each session interesting and different and her mindfulness enabled an enhanced spiritual connection.
• "Amazing experience." Everything was perfect. I had a wonderful time the food was amazing. The yoga classes had an excellent range of variety and Amber was an amazing teacher. I felt it was a very caring environment and everyone was warm and very friendly. I would recommend this yoga retreat and would return again. — Diana R.
• “A dream experience" I loved everything about this retreat and learnt so much in such a short time. The food was delicious and I thoroughly enjoyed the raw food class and being able to talk to our amazing chef so openly. Each yoga class was completely different but amazing too and it's clear to see that Amber is a real specialist who adores what she does. She created the most beautiful and calming atmosphere from the moment we walked in the door, where everybody could do and be as they wanted. My mum and I did our morning meditations and yoga sessions in our pyjamas, it was that relaxed! By the end of the retreat I felt like I had found myself again and was completely grounded and inspired. I keep referring back to my positive affirmation that Amber asked us to create and it is changing my life. I will definitely be going to another of her retreats - it was an incredible weekend — Marion B.

One of the biggest highlights of the weekend was definitely trying many new styles of yoga and meditation. I especially enjoyed the free movement workshop.
