I had never been on a yoga retreat before, but I went on one of Violet's Wiltshire retreats. I come away feeling amazing, rejuvenated and ready to handle the busy Christmas period. Violet is very welcoming in both her yoga classes and hosting. She cooked delicious food, her classes were warming and deep but having not done lots of yoga I walked away wanting to continue doing lots more. I highly recommend one other retreats, you won't regret it!

I have been taught by Philippa for a while now, with her 10 years of knowledge and recently being trained as a therapist, I am constantly learning so much off her. Having done Yoga for years and never really been that interested in Kundalini, since meeting her she has showed me a whole new side of yoga. I couldn't recommend her classes enough.
