Testimonials

Freddie Gunston - Corfu 2009

I really enjoyed my yoga experience in Corfu.  The setting was idylic, accommodation great,  and everybody was very friendly.  The proprietor is a great cook and the first night we had lovely food, followed by lots of lovely food in the restaurants.  It was a really memorable holiday, with great yoga, and would thoroughly recommend it to anyone interested.

Vanessa Lynch - Corfu 2009

I spent a wonderful week last summer at Casa Lucia in Corfu, participating in Denise’s 2009 Yoga Holiday.  The venue was perfect – a pretty and tranquil oasis with luxury accommodation, beautiful gardens and a secluded swimming pool.   We were a small, friendly group and Denise tailored our daily yoga practice to suit our individual needs.  We even had a couple of sunny morning sessions by the swimming pool.  Our tai chi classes and other yoga sessions were held outside in the gardens with trees shading the warm Greek sunshine.  Bliss!  During the week there was plenty time to spend relaxing by the pool but we also got out and about to see the sights of Corfu and Denise arranged fun excursions to Corfu Town and Paleokastritsa Beach using the local buses.  Our evenings were spent sharing long and memorable meals sitting on our candle lit patios surrounded by scented plants.  Would I like to go back?  Absolutely!  Lovely location and superb yoga.

Sophia Joyce - Italy 2008

From start to finish, my yoga holiday in Tuscany with Denise was pure joy. The location and accommodation were beautiful, and one of the most genuinely friendly and pleasant places I’ve ever stayed on holiday (I’ve been back since with my husband). Sitting out under the mulberry tree, with a view of Tuscan sunflower fields was truly breath-taking. The wine is pretty good as well.

The balance of yoga, personal time and sight-seeing was perfect: no rushing or pressure at all, and no feeling of being “organised”. Denise’s teaching was excellent, as ever. The holiday really enabled me to develop my yoga practice and left me with a profound feeling of peace and well-being. I’d go again in a heart-beat!

Liz Standish - Italy 2008

Fattoria Vittoria is the most beautiful place imaginable. I fell in love with it to the extent that I went back there the following year with my partner. And practising yoga there with Denise in the sunshine down by the pool at 7.30am, the sunflowers in the nearby field smiling at us, was just magical. If you're hesitating, go for it!

Nicky Emms - Tuscany 2005 

I was delighted to discover that your class suited me perfectly, so I didn’t need much persuasion to pack my bags for a concentrated week of Yoga in the beautiful Tuscan hills. 

You couldn’t have chosen a lovelier setting, and coming down those steps from our apartment, confronting that wonderful view over the golden hills and fields of sunflowers, was an absolute joy.  That first feeling put us in the perfect frame of mind to stand in the sunshine to start our yoga class.  I very often like to practise yoga with my eyes shut which was wonderful in the warm breeze, but taking a look either over the landscape or up into the azure blue sky was also wonderful.  In fact, I think you controlled us all very well as your voice had to compete with the birdsong and distant farm noises, and concentration was very difficult in such magical conditions.  However, we did concentrate, and everyone benefited greatly from practising for a few hours every day instead of the normal once a week class. 

The outings you arranged were great fun, but it was the yoga that I loved the most.  It was a really lovely holiday.  Thank you so much for all the work you put into it. 

I’ll be there when class starts again in September.  My body and mind are both looking forward to it!
