Testimonials

Hi Greg, Having been coming to your yoga classes for a couple of months now, I just wanted to let you know that I no longer get the lower back pain that I've had for years. Wow, I can't believe it! Eve Wood

Just wanted to say, how much I enjoyed my first class last week. I can really feel the benefit after only one class. I have already recommended your classes to a number of my clients, as I am sure they would benefit greatly. Lynda Money

Hi, Gregory......I've added to Five Tibetans to the start of my daily practice and I've moved into the free-est, most joyful Yoga I've ever done. Sincere thanks. Keith Broomfield

Hi Gregory, I just want to say thank you for the workshop yesterday. It was challenging but great! I cannot thank you enough for what you do. Though my progress is gradual it is happening! The hour and a half weekly class simply flys by!. Thank you and God bless, Carmel Murphy

Thanks for being a fabulous Yoga Teacher. Pam Byrne

I do love your commitment to Hatha Yoga, you obviously have a real passion for it. I find people who 'do' what they love do the job best, and you do. Heather McCrudden

Greg, your classes are fantastic - they make me feel open and free (the lunges were tough though!). Joanne Ledger

I have to tell you I have been on a yoga high since last night. I was so thrilled with the fact that I seemed to be getting into the postures with more ease and I am learning how to focus if you know what I mean.

My friend was very emotional afterwards. She is a dear friend and we have done yoga classes with different teachers dipping in and out together over the years.
She was overcome because she said your class was just brilliant and just what she needed.

It's lovely to be in a class/community where there is opportunity to develop heart and soul alongside strengthening and toning, not to mention self awareness!

Thank you...I am being inspired Penny Griffith

Greg I couldn't imagine coping so well with life/work as much as I am without your class, you have no idea what a diffrence it has made. My job is all 'giving out' and caring for people. It really takes it out of you both emotionally and physically. A good yoga session can restore and heal, just like that! Wonderful....and thank you Penny Griffith

What a brilliant session! Don't move on will you?! Gill Reeve

Thank you for a fabulous, relaxing, and energetic yoga class .......as usual! Love it! Cheryl Cooke

Thank you so much for introducing me to Hatha Yoga. Yours is the first class I have found to be completely addictive. The improvement in my life since I started over a year ago is immeasurable - better organic health, a far greater sense of wellbeing and control, few injuries and improved flexibility. It has also helped my tennis! I cannot now imagine life without it. Sally Daniel

I had never done any yoga before, but after one class I was hooked! Greg is a fantastic teacher, gently guiding through the postures and really encouraging. Attending the classes and workshops has also encouraged me to explore other areas such as meditation and breathing techniques. I always feel amazing and full of energy after I finish a class. Phil Vega

Hi Gregory! In reply to your email! Since I have been attending your class, quite a few months now, I have felt SO MANY benefits!- I feel invigorated, full of energy, stronger, I have lost weight, one & a half stone ! ooh, toned up also, as I have had to go down a size & take even those clothes in! I have had lots of comments on how well I look, on my skin also. Us women love a bit of flattery !! & even better to boast about it !! I feel much more confident in myself & so much more positive about life. Keep on coming with your great words of wisdom. What would we do without you? Thank you for your dedication to us. I never want to miss a class! Thank you. Doreen Tomkins

I am fifty-seven and became redundant/semi-retired at the end of 2009.

I joined Greg’s yoga class at the beginning of this year on the recommendation of my wife, who was initially surprised that I was willing to attend as I had never been to a yoga class before - or indeed a gym - although I had played most sports in earlier years.

I have enjoyed Greg’s classes and found his style of instruction to be relaxed, knowledgeable and attentive. He seems to cater well for both complete novices like me and the more experienced yoga participant. After six weeks or so the benefits for me seem to be that my body is definitely more supple and feels stronger, I feel refreshed and have more energy after the exercises and I am sleeping better. The relaxation sessions in each class certainly seem to empty the mind of distractions and help you to focus on dealing with the more important things in life and work.

I can honestly say that if I had done yoga previously it would have equipped me better to deal with the everyday pressures and stresses of working life. As it is, I am now doing some part-time consultancy work advising business people on improving their performance and I have become a strong advocate of taking up yoga as one of the possible solutions to aiding personal effectiveness and well-being.

I would happily recommend Greg’s yoga class for people seeking this aim. John McGregor

Great classes well constructed and very informative. Gill Reeve

Thanks for the class last Friday, been a while since I've been to a class, really enjoyed it, thought it was challenging enough without being impossible and also liked the meditative atmosphere, helps you get deeper into the postures and also gives the class a bit of flow! So many yoga classes are stop start and you forget why you were there in the first place! Darren Plunkett

Brilliant class today! Enjoyed it! Steph Mount

A big 'thank you' for teaching me yoga for the past 8 months. I thoroughly enjoyed your classes in Ash - you have a great way of teaching and encouraging your 'students'. Alice Day

Can I just take this opportunity to thank you. Usually I don't get a chance to thank you at the end of the class. Even though I find some of what we do quite difficult, I still look forward to my yoga class every Friday evening. That is thanks to you and your enthusiasm and encouragement. I can feel the benefits, though subtle, every week.
I am not sure had I not met you in the foyer at Salesian that Thursday evening in February, I would have ever plucked up the courage to come to the class! Carmel Murphy

Although I have only attended one class of yours I have been showered with gifts from you in the form of inspiration ever since - the movements have helped me re-connect to a gentle but strong energy again: whereas your lovely messages serve to open not only my heart but others to whom I forward these to, again and again. Thank you and bless you, Angela Houstoun

Thank you for enabling me to experience yoga in a new way - I really enjoy your classes, they always leave me with so much peace. Look forward to many more. Kathryn Jones

I just want to say a big thank you for helping me get started with the yoga again and your kind support. Hope to still get the emails with all the inspirational thoughts! Linda Ritchie

I find that these yoga classes help me relax, help my body unwind and are great for de-stressing. I really want to try and be regular for the Sunday classes, as they set me up nicely for the week ahead. Ayesha Aziz

I know that yoga always makes me feel energised, more positive and relaxed after, a very beneficial practise that should be an essential part of any life to enable progression for mind body and soul. Cheryl Cooke

Thank you so much for the emails I will print them and start to put it into practise. I have played a lot of tennis/squash/badminton (I still play a little) so my knees are really bad which is why I think I struggle near the end of the class, with practise I will become more supple and stop being such a baby... Once again, thank you, you are a wonderful teacher.. I am loving the class and so glad I spoke to you in the gym last week. Catherine Boyd

Just to let you know that there was another very positive response to your Yoga Session when I returned to work on Friday. The people who participated on Friday were unanimous in saying what a grounded, genuine person you are. Thank you once again. Jenny Turney

Many thanks for your excellent Workshop. We both enjoyed every aspect of it, so much; and, especially, the slow, relaxed pace, and, your chanting. We both felt energised, renewed, and peaceful afterwards. The feeling is still with us, today. When we came back last night, Tony went, straight away, into clearing our office room of all the clutter and junk, and spent hours doing it (which he has not done for years).
Ella Mattey

I love your approach and way of teaching. Your workshops for 2009 – with the themes, the inclusion of philosophy, pranayama, asanas etc. – show a holistic style of yoga teaching that’s sorely missing out there in the world, I believe. Plus it shows a lot of thought and care behind the scenes. It’s work done from the heart, with a lot of passion. Shame I’m in Holland and can’t train with you. I hope you manage to infect others with your enthusiasm for yoga. Vardit Kohn

Just some feedback to say I really enjoyed the class on Thursday night thank you very much I really appreciate learning how to feel myself into the postures, how to take time to do them properly rather than rush through them and all the relaxation too!
I always feel very relaxed and clear headed after the class. Su Jenkins

I just wanted to say I have wanted to do Yoga on and off for years but never found exactly the class which was taught how I felt Yoga should be. Then I walked into your class :-). Like everything in life I feel that experiences come along when we're ready for them, and have the time to enjoy them. Your class is for want of a better word "awesome", I am hoping I will always have Mondays free to attend them. Issy Baker
