TESTIMONIALS
Thank you for this retreat; every minute was worth it! It was such a mind, body and heart opening... and so much fun! I learned to how to be present and the importance of surrender. It's helping make my day-to-day life magical, and I can give so much to others as I have feel so fulfilled inside! Thank you again, and can't wait for the next retreat!—Jennifer Clarke, France
“Before meeting Gayle I had tried a number of teachers, some of them with excellent reputations in London and India, but yoga never really came alive until I started studying with her. Gayle’s intuitive, sensitive and phenomenal teaching skills helped me to totally live inside my body and find new depths in my practice. Gayle makes yoga both accessible and challenging. She brings the spirit of healing and freedom into her classes and all the fellow students I’ve met, find her an unforgettable teacher.” —Deborah Poland, Canada
“Gayle is overall an excellent teacher, from the technical to the meditative aspects. Her warmth and feminine energy is refreshing! ”—C.V. Holland
