What our students have to say
On the retreats I have participated in, Nickie and Nick created and sustained a comfortable, safe space in which I felt held and able to explore my practice and returned thoroughly nourished physically, mentally, emotionally and spiritually. I came away with new insights, deepened awareness and more breadth to my continuing yoga journey. (Lou)
It's hard to put into words how grateful I am for the last week. I have experienced many retreats and teachings on my path and they all have their positives.
I have to say our week together was perfect for me. I felt accepted, made new friends, the teaching was grounded, deep, spoke to all levels, and I feel I have found a style I can go further with and maintain. The balance of practice, trips, walks, food and laughs was perfect for me. It felt like the spiritual energy was in balance with the natural energy of our current home Mother Earth through your work. I feel rested and renewed on all levels, and eager to keep practicing and do further courses with you. (Matt)

Thank you for everything that you did and gave to ensure that it was an exceptional experience and retreat.
Your role-modelling of karma yoga was truly remarkable and authentic.
I enjoyed every aspect of your quality teaching and generous sharing of your dedication, deep knowledge and experience. A bonus was that we didn’t take ourselves too seriously and laughed together and yet also enjoyed periods of silence and space in a respectful manner. At one stage I shared that I had unravelled - this feels validating, life affirming and is still with me.
I experienced one of my best nights sleeps in years and also unfortunately slept during every Yoga Nidra, which on a positive note, demonstrated how safe and secure I felt with a group of people that I hadn’t met before. (Karen)
Your teachings and retreats help me remember who I am beneath the noise of life, restore the living current of my practice, and return to a deeper sense of clarity, belonging, and connection with the mystery of God, consciousness, and embodied existence. (Mark)
Possibilities began to open up with the structure of your skilled teaching practices- being amongst nature and the wilderness enabled me enjoy and explore deeper aspects of my own ‘ haphazard’ practice. (Helen)
clarity, tranquility and a strong feeling of fellowship.
The retreats create a safe, supported space to focus internally with a real balance of physical practice, breathing, meditation and relaxation. Meeting like minded others with a range of experience and views is fascinating and fosters curiosity.
In our experience it is a unique blend and the pair of you are critical to creating and delivering this. (Andy)
The retreats give me great confidence to develop further into yoga and I would like to thank you both for the experience. Very relaxed, so well organised by you two. (Maud)
