I hadn't practiced yoga for a few years before attending Phillipa's retreat in Spain, so I arrived slightly apprehensive. I needn't have worried as from the first practice upon the beautiful deck overlooking the sea, Phillipa very easily accommodated the groups varying abilities and imbued the whole experience with a wisdom and confidence that totally set me at ease. The food was delicious and verging on medicinal - so I came away revitalised and with a deep sense of peace. Phillipa has a very natural manner and is such a talented teacher with much to share. Nika Sawicka Spain Retreat September 2022
This was my first yoga retreat and I loved every minute. The classes were superb. Phillipa is such an inspiring teacher; Her technical knowledge and instructions so constructive and helpful.The location was wonderful. To sit in the morning in complete stillness and silence and look over the bay was a pure joy. the vegetarian food excellent. I came home feeling restored. I’m waiting to book my next one! Lesley Keeley Spain Retreat 2022
This was my first ever yoga retreat and I couldn’t fault it. Phillipa’s teaching was exceptional - physically challenging and relaxing in equal measure. The venue was lovely, and we had lovely group of people. Thank you Phillipa for putting a skip back into my step! Nina Majors Spain Retreat September 2022
I had tried Phillipa’s class in London once before deciding to join the retreat and really enjoyed learning more about her practice and how to develop mine. The teaching is very complete, very attentive, without fluff, tailoring advice to your body rather than forcing bodies into shapes based on a strict school of thought. All of the classes were designed to develop you and explore some aspects of the practice that you are less exposed to, like for instance Pranayama that I particularly enjoyed. I also found the retreat was a place of open and honest dialogue around experiences and emotions, a safe place where people come to find themselves and some time for themselves. The accommodation, the studio and the food were really great. It’s a very good opportunity to disconnect from your day to day and switch to a caring environment where you eat well, you sleep well and practice intensely. The intensity is really tailored based on attendance so you can dial it up or down based on needs. I will happily go back. Annabelle Semler-Collery Norfolk Retreat November 2019
A great opportunity to deepen my yoga practice! Phillipa is an exceptional teacher, very experienced and versatile. The classes were challenging and I learnt a lot about yoga and myself, too, but I always felt in good hands. The location was beautiful - lots of trees and birds. An ideal spot to relax and calm down. Food was delicious!. I feel motivated to do more yoga now and further strengthen myself. Chantal Bron Norfolk Retreat November 2019
We loved our stay in Begur with Phillipa. The days were so well balanced with early morning silent sitting looking over the hills and the sea, two great yoga classes with enough time in between to eat the delicious vegetarian food and relax and enjoy being in such a tranquil and inspiring landscape. Phillipa makes everyone feel at ease in the class and creates a wonderful space for absorbing her careful and insightful instruction. It was a treat to be in the hands of such an accomplished teacher for an extended period of time in a beautiful place. Ben Lederman Spain Retreat September 2019
Phillipa is still the best yoga teacher we've ever had. We were lucky enough to have private lessons from Phillipa about 5+ years ago while we were in London and she still surpasses our expectations. The Villa where the retreat was located was excellent - very well appointed and great food. Sandra Spain Retreat September 2019
The weekend surpassed my expectations. Loved the meditation and the yoga sessions it was the right amount and level for me. The food was varied, original and delicious. The setting was just perfect - quiet, with lovely grounds. The rooms were spacious, clean with fabulous bathrooms! There was a sense that Phillipa was making sure everyone’s needs were met both on and off the mat. Ken Clarke Norfolk Retreat June 2019
This was my first yoga retreat and I would highly recommend on all levels. I have practiced yoga in the City and been to many of Phillipa's classes and the retreat exceeded my expectations, there was plenty of wonderful yoga - a very well balanced mix in terms of the different sessions whilst relaxing and challenging also! Having the time to try different poses and to really practice was really great. As far as the retreat location and experience - Phillipa and her partner really made this a special few days, it was well organised, whilst relaxing and the food was spectacular. The location was beautiful and we were fortunate to have sun and hot weather too. I would highly recommend Phillipa and this retreat as it was wonderful - I returned to London feeling 100% refreshed and revitalised and hope to be able to attend more of these in the future. Diane Betts Norfolk Retreat June 2019
Absolutely wonderful yoga weekend with Phillipa. It was the first time with her. I thoroughly enjoyed her super relaxed style and she made me feel very welcome in her class. It was hard work however Phillipa always encouraged you to work within your own ability. The food was amazing, truly delicious. A truly wonderful experience.. Marion Mitchell Norfolk Retreat June 2019
My husband and I attended Phillipa’s retreat in Norfolk. It was everything we expected and more. Phillipa’s knowledge and great teaching makes you feel at ease and safe. We learn’t a lot about how to make our future practices better, giving us confidence in what suits us best. The location was beautiful, warm and cosy. We absolutely recommend this retreat to anyone who wants to learn more about yoga. Emmanuelle and Amien Johaadien Norfolk Retreat November 2018
This was my second retreat with Phillipa in Norfolk and I couldn’t recommend it more! This was such a fantastic experience and a unique opportunity to take the time to focus on yourself, on your yoga practice and feel both relaxed and renergized - in the best location possible in the Norfolk countryside. Phillipa is a wonderful teacher, that really guides you through your practice, with a lot of advice and guidance so you feel comfortable, safe and can really progress and learn a lot! Phillipa’s knowledge, experience and her approach to yoga are so inspiring and so much to learn from. The classes are varied with different focus each time, so you can deepen your practice, take more time on the poses and ask questions. The Chef, made the retreat even better with the most delicious vegetarian food, so we felt so well taken care of! An amazing experience that I can’t wait to do again. Claire Laine Norfolk Retreat November 2018
I couldn't recommend more to join Phillipa in this Greece Retreat. Amazing venue, amazing hospitality and amazing yoga. Phillipa and Tadashi spoiled us. From the morning meditation and practice immersed in the breeze of the Greek sea, to the delicious brunches and dinners spent together looking at the sun vanishing behind the mountains, everything has been perfect. But most of all, it has been an empowering and enriching experience. Phillipa is an inspiring person and passionate teacher. Her "students" are all beautiful people too. It started as a retreat and ended as a holiday with friends. Lavinia Chiodi Daelli Greece Retreat June 2018
My first ever yoga retreat - and couldn’t of been better. Cliched to say, but the week gave me chance to deepen my practice. I came back feeling a greater sense of ease in poses that I’ve been doing for years. I believe Phillipa helped me access greater flexibility and awareness over the 7 days of pretty intense practice. Phillipa’s expertise, adjustments and sequencing, plus the absolute perfection that was breakfast & dinner (will never forget the homemade tofu cheesecake!), and the most charming sea view accommodation. All a cut above the rest. Not to mention the location, ideally remote and peaceful, calm sea, epic sunsets. Plus many insightful & fun chats with Phillipa! Sean Patrick Greece Retreat June 2018
Phillipa's retreat in Greece in June 2018 was just pure moment of bliss! The house is beautiful and the locations incredible, right on the sea with a beach and private access and a very nice swimming pool. The yoga sessions were intense yet diverse : Ashtanga, Vinyasa flow, Iyengar also some restorative and breathing exercises...The food prepared by the chef was simply delicious. Everything is so well organised, it was just perfect! Virginie Syn Greece Retreat June 2018
Fantastic weekend away! The retreat was invigorating, relaxing and intensely refreshing. It enabled me to switch off from everyday stressors of life and to focus on my own health and wellbeing. Phillipa's teaching is always inspiring and very well structured. The venue is amazing and the food absolutely delicious!! Thankyou very much Phillipa and Tadashi and i am looking forward to coming back again! Kira Trit Norfolk Retreat 2-4th March 2018

I'm grateful to have been able to come to this wonderful retreat again in this beautiful location. Phillipa creates an environment of calm, focus and support which encourages me to push my practice to the best of my ability. She is precise in her instruction and offers specific advice for each student which is appreciated. Great accommodation, lovely group of people and unforgettable food! It's been an absolutely fantastic weekend – thank you! So happy that I came. I look forward to the next time. Susen Vural Norfolk Retreat 3-5th November 2017
Yoga Weekend in Norfolk - loved the yoga, the food, the property and the of course the teacher! The weekend gave me the rare opportunity to focus on yoga and surround myself with like-minded people with a genuine passion for yoga too. Practicing yoga was fantastic but having the opportunity to talk about it with other people including Phillipa and hearing other peoples' experiences with yoga is invaluable. I couldn't recommend it more. It helped that the food was incredible too! I was very happy ! Bina Patel Norfolk Retreat 3-5th November 2017

It was such a great retreat and I could learn from you not only the physical practice but also your policy and mind to yoga based on your professionalism .Thank you very much to include many practice requests from me. Actually I was very happy. Yoshiko Hino Greece Retreat 2-9th June 2017
I really enjoyed the retreat. The accommodation was stunning. The food was truly delicious and its presentation was beautiful,and the yoga was excellent. Having recently had a knee replacement I was anxious that I wouldn't keep up with the practice but Phillipa was always able to offer me alternatives to accommodate the physical restrictions I had and her method of teaching was always thoughtful and supportive. A very positive experience. Sue Stephenson Greece Retreat 2-9th June 2017
