Naomi, I can't thank you enough. This weekend was amazing on so many levels. I always take so much from your classes and having a weekend of your teaching really was a journey... so much preparation and so cohesive - I learnt SO much. No one would have guessed you had a difficult week prior - the fact that you can come to this so patient, willing to accept, be so giving of yourself and... above all inspiring, is a credit to you. The fact that (I think) every single person walked away enriched shows your spirit is truly special. I wish we could bottle you, everyone deserves a teacher like you.

Thank you Naomi, a superb teacher, who just keeps getting better. You have it all - skills, intuition, passion, creativity, joy and discipline... and the huge generosity to share it all with us.
Thank you also to all the fun and wonderful people in our group; to our warm hosts who made us feel very so welcome; and to the super friendly and helpful staff at Huzur Vadisi.
I think I can say I've had a pretty much PERFECT holiday.

Your approach to teaching is incredible - wise, calm and soulful but also so vibrant, joyful and inspiring. Each day's sessions challenged and stretched me, but within a nurturing and safe environment that gave me the confidence, as a novice, to explore my own practice at my own pace with your guidance and support. I can't thank you enough for a wonderfully restorative week

Thank you for organizing and sharing your love and yogic wisdom to make a truly wonderful weekend. I feel like a different person this morning. The venue was perfect. The company great fun, I love meeting everyone on your retreats and learning about different lives, it brings a richness to my life. And oh the food, wow, brilliant. And lastly but most importantly, you are a brilliant teacher and I am so fortunate to have found you, I really mean that.

CQ, Huzur Vadisi 2010

Two words to summarise my weekend - BRILLIANT and INSPIRATIONAL. You are an amazing soul, the way you communicate with people, the way you treat everyone the same without judgement, the way you teach and coach. Just brilliant.

"I love that every week is different. By preparing something different each week Naomi show's both a command of her subject and a commitment to teaching, which in turn inspires trust and commitment in me. While there's always movement and action, Naomi makes and takes time to explain and demonstrate - presenting a range of options and offering a way for me to work within the range of my own ability.
One of the best things about her is that she knows who we are; all our names and our individual challenges, interests and difficulties. But beyond that hasn't forgotten who she was before yoga, which is why she's so well-suited to showing us the way. Naomi's style has a humanizing effect on what can sometimes seem remote. Most importantly - and I think this is rare - it actually seems to matter to her that we develop our practice. With my headstand phobia, for example she pops up in front of me every week and I'm never pleased to see her and I generally wish she'd go haunt someone else! But in actual fact, I'm really grateful. We both know it's something I need to address. She's the only teacher I've allowed to haul me up against my will! Naomi takes her teaching seriously but it's not stiff and humourless - her classes are somewhere you want to be."

"Naomi's yoga class is the perfect way to start my week! The class is challenging and engaging and I seem to learn something new every week. Her patient and encouraging teaching style is perfect and she adopts a very personal approach to each student, enabling us to safely push our boundaries further than maybe we would naturally. She is a fantastic teacher and I thoroughly enjoy her classes!"

"Practicing yoga with Naomi is like breathing air; it is essential to me. Naomi is a dynamic and adept Guru. Each lesson is challenging fun and different so that I am pushed beyond my personal limitations and expectations."

"Thank-you for having us in your place - it's such a good, positive space, and it really makes a difference practicing in depth for a longer time. I'm feeling really positive today - despite the fact that it's supposed to be the most depressing day of the year (according to the news this morning anyway!)"

Jeff, Product Manager

The workshop was wonderfully inspiring and motivational as always. I slept like a baby last night and feel great today!

"Just wanted to say thank you for a fantastic workshop on Sunday - absolutely incredible."

"Thank-you soooo much for yesterday, it was really just what I needed and your place is the perfect calming, haven of a place to spend the day doing yoga. I had the best nights sleep ever!"

"I had a wonderful day yesterday...super-lovely in fact. I wish I could just do yoga all of the time and not bother with the rest of things that overcomplicate the world! thank you very much for all your wonderful teaching and calm presence...it helps me immensely in the rest of my life."

Cath, London

Thank you Naomi for an inspirational and joyful time. I appreciate and am exhilarated by your teaching and approach. I have come away having learnt something and wanting to learn and understand more. Thank you. Great company also!

Thank you Naomi, for a very special day. I feel an enormous trust in you as a teacher, and safe in your guidance. You have a rare gift and I can tell everyone who practices with you feels grateful for having found you!

Thank you for a wonderful day. I felt amazing afterwards and that inner buzz has carried over to today - long may it continue. The yoga nidra session got me to another level.
Thanks for all the care and the warmth you bring to your teaching - you create such a friendly and safe atmosphere which is a pleasure to be a part of.

 I just wanted to say thank you for your beautiful classes :) I started yoga last year and its so refreshing to have a teacher in a gym environment that doesn't teach the lesson the same way as a fitness instructor would. I have learnt a lot from your classes and always feel better for coming :)

"I really look forward to my classes with Naomi, it feels like she takes the time to really get to know what your body is capable of and when to push you to work harder or pull you back. It's the perfect destresser and you are guaranteed to get a good nights sleep after the class!"

Gemma, London

Thank you so much for a very special day. I absolutely enjoyed every moment of it, and I really can't think of how it could have been better. I had the best night sleep in years, and that in itself is a fantastic gift. I now feel charged with a lot of positive energy to face a rather hectic week.

Thanks for a wonderful day, I really enjoyed it and came away feeling very happy and balanced!

Combining Naomi's wonderful yoga at the lovely Huzur Vadisi venue with a fantastic group of students added up to a very special week for us all. Since, many of us had never met before it was so good to see that 15 people got along so well - laughing, chatting and having real fun. Such collective positive energy made this retreat both magical and memorable. I arrived home body, mind and soul nicely refreshed!
