Just wanted to say 'thank you' for such a beautiful week. The yoga was amazing. Everytime I listen to the Fleet Foxes 'Tiger Mountain' song I will think of the retreat, that wonderful feeling lying in Shavasana after the early morning yoga practice in the mountains....It was such a peaceful place & a really lovely group of people to spend a week with. I'm already missing the mountains, the sky, the yoga, the food! Thanks again for your yoga teaching & gentle adjustments that really helped me, it was a wonderful retreat.

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.
JM, Tilton House Weekend Retreat, 2009
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.
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.
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 classes have honestly changed my life and I cannot stop talking about the benefits to my family and friends. I get a great sense of accomplishment from each class and the positivity, peace and calm gained is carried into my day to day life. Naomi is a very gifted, passionate and deeply committed teacher and she makes you feel comfortable and at ease. I really look forward to going to Yoga every week and feel an overall greater sense of well being, physically, mentally and spiritually. Naomi has a unique delivery style and adds variety into her classes so you always walk out learning something new. I believe that with Yoga in your life you can really shine from the inside. "

"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."
Sital, Make-Up Artist
"Naomi's class is great and I always feel much more relaxed and positive afterwards. I find each class is varied and challenging and she is a really supportive and encouraging teacher".
"I am loving my classes with you, I began the yoga classes due to stress, and it has made me feel 100 times better since I started."

Naz, Marketing Consultant
"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!"
Angela, Guinness
Emma, Communications Director
"I have been attending Naomi's class for a while now and always enjoy her style and class structure. Naomi is great at working different levels within the class, encouraging people to go further if they feel they can or take a step back if they need to. Her teaching has really helped me to focus more on some of the deeper aspects of yoga that I sometimes overlook - its sometimes easy to forget to find the stillness within a posture and Naomi always talks about focusing on the breath and the moments of stillness. I'm looking forward to continuing my yoga journey with Naomi and am really pleased I discovered her as a teacher".
Blathnaid, London
"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!)"
"We were recommended Naomi as a yoga teacher to come to our office once a week. The classes are really fun and very varied and at the end of the session the feeling is of sheer bliss and relaxation! I always find that I have such a better day afterwards - I'm able to think more cleary and have a real sense of well being."
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."
"What a divine workshop. I really felt like i was focused on the practice & rarely found my mind wondering (which surprised me, as half the time i can't switch off AT ALL). It felt good to have your guidance again, it made me realize how much i've missed your classes. I love your dynamic approach & the way you combine all the different aspects of the practice. You kept reiterating that we shouldn't push ourselves too much & only go where we feel comfortable. I also love your 'hands on' approach it's amazing when you're in a position & you think that's the most you can do, then you push / pull / apply more pressure & suddenly you're in a place that you never thought possible."
