“I am not very good at taking time for myself and so having yoga therapy sessions has allowed me to do that. I particularly liked that Zoë worked with me as a whole, looking not only at the physical level but also the emotional. I learned techniques to try and help me manage pain, learning a new way of thinking about pain. This has been enormously helpful. I also find that I am doing everyday things in a more mindful way – I am present in the moment… Yoga has brought me a level of inner peace – things that used to bother me I can now put into perspective just by using visualisation, relaxation and meditation techniques. Zoë was very good at listening to me in terms of my limitations and was able to adapt my practice so I could still manage the physical aspects of restorative yoga. I feel the programme has been immensely beneficial to my overall wellbeing,”

“I was a little concerned about having yoga therapy at first but Zoë soon put me at ease. Zoe is a lovely person who explained the sessions and gave me practice notes to follow until the next session. She helped me to relax and advised on my breathing. I look forward to each session with her,”

“I was diagnosed with depression over six years ago and thought I had it under control but unfortunately had a relapse. When I experienced a relapse in my illness I took up the opportunity of yoga therapy sessions with Zoë. I have not experienced this type of therapy before and the combination of talking and yoga practice brought me great benefit. She tailored the sessions to my individual needs and I have learnt which practices bring me the most benefit. Zoë has a rare natural talent, an understanding nature, and has truly found her calling,”

“Zoë displays the utmost professionalism in all of her yoga work. Her knowledge has depth and experience. The experience of yoga therapy with Zoë is on a very personal level, you feel that each session is carefully considered and tailored specifically for your needs to encompass all you have asked for. Her approach is calm, patient, understanding and compassionate. You feel very safe in her care both the yoga practice and in her confidentiality. Time is never rushed, the therapy sessions feel full, complete, well thought through and designed with a natural flow, utilising a wide range of yoga therapy approaches – poses, breathing, meditation and relaxation. Zoë has a beautiful natural warmth and I would recommend her to anyone; she has a natural ability and knowledge to help clients including the most vulnerable,”

“For me yoga therapy sessions with Zoë have had a deep and reflective impact. They have helped me to transition through a prolonged period of distressing bereavement, and I cannot express sufficiently how much the yoga has helped through this time. I can’t emphasise enough the impact of the meditation and relaxation therapy sessions – I have become one with myself again, reconnecting the physical, emotional and spiritual me. I have become more realistic in my day to day goals, allowed more relaxation into my week and overall have more joy in my life. Zoë has the special interpersonal skills to talk through distressing and personal aspects of life without judgement and to find yoga practices that help. It has been a powerful journey for me and one which I’d like to continue with Zoë. Thank you so much,”

“I found yoga therapy sessions with Zoë incredibly informative and helpful. Breathing exercises and meditation prior to sleep were very helpful, as were chest opening practices which I believe have helped my asthma symptoms. Zoë was incredibly patient and very helpful,”

“Zoë approached each session with a detailed and varied programme which put the emphasis very much on my individual needs. She improved my balance, which was one of the more serious issues following my stroke. The sessions were challenging but after a few the tasks got easier through increased concentration and focus. Yoga is new to me and I found it very stimulating and rewarding. Zoë is very patient and encouraging and I can say I really benefited and enjoyed sessions with her,”

“Going to Zoë’s class is like taking medicine! Her words of calm and wisdom are so full of comfort. Meeting her has been such a gift, and any opportunity to go to her classes is an absolute blessing. Zoë is a caring, kind woman who shares her love of yoga so very well, bringing together people of all ages and abilities. She is professional, fun, and genuine. A fantastic example of a really great yoga teacher,”

“I’ve been going to Zoë’s classes for over a year and absolutely love them. It’s my little bit of ‘me time’ every week that I try to squeeze into my busy schedule. My favourite session is the Yoga Nidra. We do something different every time and the benefits really show after just a few short weeks. Zoë has so much patience and the most calming, soothing voice,”

“After a friend’s recommendation I went along to Zoë’s yoga class and have never looked back. She makes you feel so comfortable as a yoga newbie and gently challenges you to progress at your own pace. I can truly say yoga is now essential for me to feel relaxed and develop my core strength as part of my overall fitness. Zoë creates an atmosphere which is friendly and calm, yet professional and well organised, ensuring you get the very best out your yoga session. I would highly recommend her classes,”

“Zoë’s wonderful softly spoken voice gives an instant feeling of calm and I have always been made to feel very welcome and comfortable. Her teaching method of connecting self, mind, body and spirit is inspirational. Her style is helpful in so many areas and her knowledge has enabled me to de-stress, relax and helped me feel more balanced, flexible, grounded and generally more focused. I have experienced super guided meditation and holistic guidance on healing from Zoë. Her classes are also a positive social experience,”

“Zoë teaches in a way that’s clear and kind. I enjoyed being guided by her in a recent workshop in Chichester. She’s also a lovely woman; very honest and true to herself, well liked and respected by her students. Highly recommended!”

“I had some fantastic yoga class sessions with Zoë who made me, as a beginner, feel really comfortable while at the same time giving each participant individual attention to correct their postures. Highly recommend,”

“I would recommend Zoë to anyone thinking of trying yoga or yoga therapy. She is friendly, knowledgeable and experienced. She will get you to your aims and beyond, physically, mentally and emotionally,”

“I enjoy Zoë’s yoga classes immensely. I previously practiced yoga 20 years ago but since then hadn’t found a teacher who inspired me or made yoga so enjoyable – until I met Zoë. It has made me want to do more yoga and make it part of my life,”

“A warm welcome along with a very patient and highly experienced instructor ensured I enjoyed maximum benefit from attending Zoë’s classes.”

“Zoë’s gentle but energetic style was perfect for me both during maternity and afterwards. Her varied experience makes her a really strong teacher able to adapt to support each person in her class as an individual without losing the group feel. Her yoga classes were my highlight of the week – and I’m choosy about my yoga classes!”

“I was a yoga newbie when I started Zoë’s class and was worried I wouldn’t be able to take part due to a bad arm break when I was younger which left me with limited flexibility in my wrist. Zoë made me feel extremely comfortable, however, and subtly adapted moves so I could be just as involved as the rest of the group. The classes were great fun and so relaxing – I’d always have a fabulous sleep after her session! I absolutely loved attending Zoë’s classes and am struggling to find one anywhere near as good as hers now she’s moved! There was always such variety in her classes which meant I learnt something new and came out of every session feeling amazing,”

“I have been attending Zoë’s yoga class for over three years on a weekly basis and each one has been truly invigorating and relaxing. Not one session is the same. Zoë always presents a well-structured and thought-out class focused on a theme, whether flexibility, balance, or breathing techniques. Classes end with guided relaxation which brings serenity, confidence and thorough reflection. I always feel restored and relaxed coming out of the class,”
