Bernadette Colard, One to One Classes
“I’m 80 and have practised yoga for several decades. Nathalie has been so kind to have one to one classes with me for 3 years now. Every week again I am surprised by the effect of her yoga sessions on my body and mind. Not only do I find total relaxation, I feel at peace with myself. Some weeks I feel better than others but Nathalie senses my needs and knows how to adapt her class to me. I hope I will be able to continue enjoying this weekly moment of relaxation for a long time. Thank you Nathalie!”

Lis Evans, Online Classes
“I love Nathalie’s yoga lessons! She explains what she wants us to do very precisely & fluently & develops the practice so that the asanas always feel accessible. She is very encouraging & this boosts my confidence. For meditation, relaxation and Yoga Nidra her voice is soothing but clear. I look forward to each class & I am never disappointed.”

Hilary Davis, Online Classes
“Nathalie offers classes that are professional and varied. She adapts positions according to ability and demonstrates clearly.  Every class is a thoroughly enjoyable experience.”

Jane Maudsley, Several Yoga Classes
Nathalie is a natural and instinctive yoga teacher. She has great depth of knowledge of the principles involved, the importance of creating a focussed, calming start to every practice and a sensitivity for each of her classes, whether in person or on Zoom. Every practice is different and  we are challenged yet encouraged and made to feel secure. Nathalie always makes sure we take care to work within our own limits without feeling any sense of failure if the asanas are too challenging. Her weekend workshops are carefully planned and she takes the opportunity to focus on specific aspects of yoga in more depth. These have been really valuable and enjoyable sessions leaving me all the more determined to find out more. Nathalie’s use of Sanskrit terminology as well as her gentle voice generates an authentic atmosphere during each practice and I always feel the benefits afterwards- calm and relaxed or calm and energised. (English terminology is also used to help those of us whose knowledge of Sanskrit is rather limited!)  Taking part in Nathalie’s outdoor sessions this summer was a real highlight for all of us - it was just magical. And all thanks to Nathalie’s calm, clear, gentle approach that makes all her practices so lovely.

Louise Jenkins, Yoga Classes
Natalie’s classes are very restoring both physically and mentally...she has a real gift in getting the balance right between working at the edge of your limits yet encouraging you to go further. Her classes are the perfect antidote at the end of the working day....

Caroline Jones, Several Classes
Nathalie’s classes are just right for me - providing safe but strong guidance and encouragement to further extend my knowledge, enjoyment and understanding of yoga. Nathalie has a gentle and warm spirit and, guides you to carefully to reach your limit without pressure. I currently do three sessions a week and if possible would honestly do them everyday of the week. My strength and suppleness have improved significantly since beginning her classes four years ago and are one of the highlights of my life. Nathalie’s Yoga is the perfect antidote to cycling and walking - and it’s calmness the perfect opposite to my work - running a very busy restaurant.

Maggie Hemming, Wednesday Morning Class
As we finished the class the other day I realised that I come each week, become engrossed in the practise and leave without ever telling you how much I enjoy the class and value your teaching. I have an active, practical life where the bustle of my day only stops when I run out of energy at night. Coming to yoga on wednesday mornings takes an unusual space in my working week but the benefit I feel plentifully rewards setting that time aside. Your teaching is gentle - you praise and encourage; you are inclusive, knowledgeable and precise in your practise and you teach us to make personal progress within our individual abilities. I leave each week feeling stretched, rested and inwardly calm. The effect on my outlook during the rest of the week is profound. That which you offer in your classes is life-enhancing - so thank you!

Julie Skelding, One-to-One Sessions
Nathalie is wonderful. In a one-to-one session she had clearly prepared just for me, she showed me how I could adapt poses for my specific needs. She was kind and professional giving me encouragement and support with a gentle touch. She left me with written notes and diagrams I can refer to. I have confidence that I can get to know my body in a new way and enjoy being part of a class. Nathalie did that for me, I highly recommend her to you too.

Hazel Arundel, Yoga Classes
I just thought I’d write a quick note just to say how much your classes inspire me. What a wonderful encouraging way you have of enticing me to explore my limits but without pushing too far. I also take great solace from learning more about how pranayama can help me in my every day life, which it does And the biggest plus, you make it fun.!! I wish I could attend all the time.

France Eggby, Yoga Workshop
Thanks for teaching the work shop on Saturday. It was just the sort of nurturing half day I needed. I enjoyed learning more about the chakras, also more time to practice and arrive back in my body. The length of the workshop was just long enough. I think I would have found longer too much. Your teaching has progressed so much over the past few years. Your teaching embodies the deeper level of spirituality that yoga has to offer. The food afterwards at Bara Brith was, as always, very good. It was nice to share with others what we had experienced.

Lorna Jupp, Yoga Workshop - January 2020
Over many years yoga has been part of my life. When I joined Nathalie’s class I found a teacher who epitomises the spirit of yoga. The asanas and breathing techniques she teaches are always creative and energetic and the yoga philosophy she weaves into each practice all bring a sense of positivity, strength and calmness - qualities Nathalie shares with enthusiasm and thoughtfulness.

Marty Makin, Yoga Retreat - October 2019
Just had a fabulous retreat, got so much from it. New friends, new techniques, new confidence, feel like a new person. Many thanks Nathalie you truly are a very spiritual person.

Anna Kanji, Yoga Retreat
I recently went on my first yoga retreat with Nathalie to the Yoga House in Tresaith. The weekend was such a lovely balance of thoughtfully planned yoga sessions, meditation, free time and learning in a wonderfully relaxed environment. I came back feeling energised and emotionally refreshed. Thank you Nathalie for a unique experience.

Diane Griffiths, Friday Morning Class
Yoga practice with Nathalie is a beautiful and complete experience. She has the belief and ability to offer a true and meaningful practice that brings together physical and mental wellbeing. Time spent with Alchemy Yoga has become an important part of my life.

Jim and Penny Chesters, One-to-One Sessions
 "We began taking home based yoga sessions with Nathalie in March 2015. We are both in our mid 60’s and hoped to improve flexibility, balance and general well being by Incorporating yoga into our exercise regime. 
We were complete beginners with some joint difficulties but Nathalie was very patient and tailored the  sessions and our progress to meet all our individual needs.
We now very much look forward to our regular yoga classes and have achieved really positive improvements plus we feel just great.
Only regret is that we did not begin Yoga years ago but, with Nathalie, it is definitely never too late to start."

Sophie Wellan, Friday Morning Class
"I have been practising yoga for many years and experienced several different teachers and teaching methods. Nathalie is one of the most natural teachers i have come across. Attending one of Nathalies yoga classes is quite profound. The lesson is always a complete ,and satisfying experience. She is a truly committed teacher, always managing to include all students no matter What their ability. Her aproach is gentle but clear. I always feel wonderful at the end of one of her classes. I would recommend her highly to anyone wanting to begin yoga as a complete novice or the more experienced student wanting to deepen their practise."

Kate Meopham, Monday Evening Class
"The yoga class with Nathalie is an essential part of my week and has been for over 18 months. I feel in very safe hands and have appreciated the flexibility and strength that has come through the practices and mastering the asanas.
The classes have also helped me to understand the importance of relaxation and breathing in finding a still and quiet place in my mind, especially important when day to day life is stressful. It is also fun and sociable. The atmosphere Nathalie creates in the class is very supportive, reassuring and sustaining".

Heather Nixon, Monday Evening Class
"Nathalie's classes have a great balance between the yogic teachings and the physical asanas so you always leave feeling happy and more in harmony with your life. Her well-rounded and purposeful approach is great if you want to feel more vital, creative and efficient. Our Monday classes get us in tune for the week, body and soul."
