Testimonials

I've been attending Carol's yoga, strength, and tone classes for over a decade, and there's a compelling reason for my loyalty. Carol's profound understanding of anatomy ensures that we maintain proper alignment according to our individual capabilities. She functions almost like a personal coach, even in packed classes, ensuring that everyone receives full and focused attention. I genuinely adore her classes. They can be challenging, but with Carol's expertise in anatomy, we are in safe hands. Additionally, her sense of humour adds a touch of laughter to each session. Carol possesses an incredible attention to detail and a genuine caring approach when guiding us. I am committed to enrolling in her classes continually.

Annette H

I have been a regular in Carol’s yoga classes for some years now. I love her teaching, it’s inspirational and always from the heart. She spends time explaining, adjusting/adapting her teaching which means that everyone has a wonderful experience. Her studio space is calm and tranquil which only adds to the feeling of being enveloped with care when attending her classes.

Being one of Carol’s original retreaters, I’ve been back to everyone! She always finds beautiful spaces for us to relax and enjoy whatever themes she is using. Without pressure, she has us challenging ourselves and each other and the experience is always magical! I can’t wait for the next one!

Judith C

I've had the privilege of working with Carol, and I can't praise her enough for her exceptional skills as a trauma healing coach. Her compassionate and empathetic approach to helping individuals navigate through their trauma is truly remarkable. Carol's extensive knowledge and unwavering support have been invaluable on my healing journey. She creates a safe and nurturing space, allowing me to explore and heal from past traumas. Carol's guidance has been transformative, and I wholeheartedly recommend her services to anyone seeking trauma recovery. Thank you, Carol, for being a guiding light on my path to healing and empowerment.

natasha w

I have been learning yoga at Carol’s classes for 7 years. The classes are friendly and challenging. Carol has a style which helps participants to stretch their capability while being completely inclusive allowing all of us to reach our potential. Carol has deep knowledge and understanding of yoga beyond physical exercise and her teaching offered development of mind, body and spirit simultaneously simply by following her simple instructions and guidance. I have been to other yoga classes and none are so complete as Carol’s. She is truly an excellent teacher.

JOE C

I have been on yoga retreats led by Carol on three occasions and loved each one and learned from each one. The yoga is central to the retreat but Carol carefully and subtly choreographed the yoga and other activities around a theme which offered the opportunity to reflect, develop and grow in a broader sense. The frequency and intensity of the yoga over the week enabled development and improvement but also tied into meditative themes and activities making it a very positive holistic experience. The accommodation and food were all of a very high standard. The downtime is therefore relaxing in beautiful peaceful settings. Carol's yoga retreats provide an excellent reset opportunity whether you are struggling to cope with life’s challenges, want a break from the hectic world or simply love yoga and want a week to focus. Thoroughly recommend.

COMPASSIONATLEY CONNECTING TO YOUR INATE WISDOM

SATURDAY 25TH NOVEMBER 2PM TO 4.30 PM

COST: £45 (includes herbal tea and snacks)

Due to the success of this workshop last term, I am pleased to say it will be happening again.

Trauma refers to a psychological and emotional response to an event or series of events that are distressing, overwhelming, and beyond an individual's ability to cope.

Signs of unprocessed trauma can show up as:

Emotional Distress - feelings of low self-esteem, fear, sadness, anger, guilt, shame.

Physical Symptoms - such as headaches, fatigue, sleep disturbances, IBS, tight muscles, physical pain.

Addictions – food, alcohol, smoking, drugs, sex, gambling, shopping.

Hyperarousal - Are easily startled, irritable, or have trouble concentrating.

Dissociation - feeling disconnected from oneself/ the present moment as a way of coping with overwhelming emotions.

In this 2.5-hour embodied workshop, we will explore how trauma is showing up in our lives and use the tools of trauma informed yoga and somatic-based therapies to help find release.

COMPASSIONATELY CONNECTING WITH YOUR INNER CRITIC

SUNDAY 5TH NOVEMBER 10AM TO 12.30 PM

COST: £45 (includes herbal tea and snacks)

At times, we all have negative self-talk that judges, criticises, tells us we are not good enough, and shuts us down from taking the next step forward. However, there's a gift in exploring this "inner critic." It can help us identify our deepest values and even help us grow into the fullest expression of ourselves!

In this 2.5-hour embodied workshop, we will learn to develop a new relationship with our inner critic (so it doesn't run our lives, for example).


We will explore this relationship through trauma-informed yoga and somatic-based therapies.
