Yoga Class, Retreat and Teacher Training Reviews

These are the words of my weekly yoga students, retreat attendees, and yoga teachers who’ve trained with me.

Yoga Students

“I have been going to Deaville Yoga run by Heather for over 8 years. I always come away feeling that my body has been gently stretched and my mind is extremely relaxed and stress free.

We are encouraged to be aware of our own bodies and adapt movements so each of us benefit in our own way.”
— Deni

“When I moved to Saltdean, I was keen to find a local yoga class and came across Deaville Yoga—and I’ve never looked back since.

Heather is not only an incredible yoga teacher, but also an authentic, warm and kind human. Each class is different, and she tailors her teaching so everyone has the best possible experience and leaves feeling relaxed and restored.

If you’re looking for a local yoga class, Heather is definitely your person.”
— Ewa

“My inspirational yoga teacher, Heather, is always vibrant, positive and full of energy.

She is sensitive to her students’ needs and differences, including disability, and supports us to work through muscle aches and limitations with a lightness of touch and a great sense of humour.

Heather combines practical yoga asanas with a deeper spiritual awareness, bringing both joyful energy and a sense of calm meditation into every session.”
— Maggie

“I have been attending Heather’s yoga classes for a while now and have always been impressed with the variety in each session, so I never get bored.

The classes are welcoming and inclusive, and I feel I get a perfect balance of movement and relaxation at the end of each lesson.”
— Kate

“Heather’s classes are relaxed, friendly, safe and informal, making everyone—no matter their experience—feel welcome and included.

She is very passionate and knowledgeable about yoga, the body, and aromatherapy, and communicates in a way that makes learning clear and accessible.

Heather is observant and, where appropriate, quickly adapts or modifies poses to support each individual, allowing everyone to work at their own pace while still feeling part of the group.

Every session leaves me feeling stretched, relaxed and nurtured. I would highly recommend her classes.”
— Linz

“Heather is a wonderful teacher with a holistic approach to wellbeing. She puts a lot of effort into making her retreats special and cooks delicious food.

I highly recommend her classes and retreats. Regardless of your fitness level or experience, she offers adaptations based on your needs.”
— Sian

Retreat guests

“I had such a wonderful time at Heather’s yoga retreat. The whole experience was calm, welcoming, and thoughtfully put together.

The gentle yoga left me feeling relaxed and restored, and the homemade lunch was absolutely delightful. I also loved the walk in the beautiful surroundings—it made the day feel very special.

I left feeling refreshed, grateful, and would highly recommend her retreats.”
— Melissa

“What a lovely day we had at The Sussex Shala. The yurt was warm, cosy and felt like a safe, calm space.

The whole day felt like an absolute joy—no pressure, just time to relax and enjoy. The yoga was just right, lunch was delicious, and the walk with a surprise in Abbot’s Wood was a beautiful touch.

I left feeling very refreshed and uplifted, and I’m already looking forward to the next one.”
— Coral

“We recently went on a Yoga Day Retreat with Heather which was so well organised that the day flowed beautifully from morning to evening. Yoga and meditation were interspersed with delicious healthy food.

All stress and negative feelings seemed to disappear during that day.”
— Deni

Wonderful yoga & delicious food a lovely reset for this busy world.”

“Hi Heather, thank you! I really enjoyed the Essentials Oils course today. It’s such a huge subject, but you managed to refine it down to key essentials and gave us such a pleasant, well planned and informative experience. I feel more confident now using essential oils with students and I shall enjoy doing further research on aromatherapy.”
