Testimonials

“I have been attending Lucy’s classes now for a few years and find her teaching methods very accessible, informative and friendly. She provides structure within the content of the class that is easily fitted to individual fitness level and ability. As someone without any sight, this has been particularly important for me, and Lucy has continued to be supportive, encouraging and flexible in her approach to enabling the experience for each person in the class. A broad range of postures is covered each term and questions and concerns about anything are always encouraged. I have found myself growing more confident and have noticed increased strength, stamina and acceptance in myself. For anyone wishing to begin or improve their yoga journey, Swyoga is the place to make a difference.”

“Lucy incorporates physical asana, pranayama and mindfulness in a beautiful way. She changes her class each week with a different focus i.e. Backbends, forward bends, twists and focusing on different muscle groups. She comprehensively explains the physiological benefits and their mechanism, in a balanced way alongside yoga philosophy bringing Eastern and Western ideas together. She is obviously highly experienced but has not lost her personal touch, she is always friendly and welcoming and makes gentle adjustments that really make a difference. I really enjoy her classes and wish she did an extra evening class a week so I can go more.”

“I just wanted to say that I had fantastic time on your yoga retreat, as an SWYoga virgin I can only say that it all exceeded expectations. I thought the venue was superb, the food delicious and the yoga really well planned and a fantastic experience.
Thanks so much for all your hard work and the effort you took both before and during the retreat, it was a very professional, well run retreat and I would love to join you on another.
I have had withdrawal symptoms since I returned home!!”

Debbie Fitzpatrick – February 2015

“I will miss you & your teaching & want to keep up my practice as much as possible – I know I can do Yoga everywhere (especially here in New York), but it’s all about your teacher and their charisma, philosophy, effort and involvement.
The way you keep me working, improving in a very natural way (no pressure but consistent), and knowing that I’m on a healthy mission to become a proper Yogi! You’re unique in that respect and the best teacher I ever had or ever will have!”

Trees Himpe – December 2014

“I really enjoy Lucy’s classes. They are very well taught with care and attention given to technique and variety. The Blitz is very motivational and a good way to start the beginning of term. I have yet to try the retreats but hear great things about them”

Camilla Boys-Stones

“Lucy’s classes are a real find for me. I love the way she prepares her classes with care to meet our needs and make sure we stretch and work all of our joints and muscles. She develops a strong empathy with the group, motivating us to achieve just a little bit more than we thought we were capable off… I always come away feeling relaxed and glowing.”

Jane Clark

“Lucy manages both a highly professional and personal teaching style and one always ends a lesson with a wonderful sense of well-being”

Katie Woods

“Having been on three of Lucy’s incredibly well organised retreats to India and Sri Lanka I would recommend them to anyone looking for introspection and restoration for both body and soul. Heaven – I feel relaxed just thinking about it!”

Debbie Elliott

“Before I joined Lucy’s classes I considered myself to be pretty fit but in need of more flexibility. It turns out that Lucy offers so much more than a guide to bendiness-I feel stronger, calmer and more optimistic about what my body is capable of. I look forward to her classes every week and always come away feeling that I have made progress.”

Marie Hayes

“Lucy is an excellent teacher. She really knows how bodies work and she knows how to coax you gently to get the best out of you.”

Judith Hawley

“The best workout for mind and body that I know. Lucy is an amazing teacher who always tailors a class to the individual’s needs. I cannot recommend her highly enough”

Kate Titley

“Two hours a week with Lucy deals with all my back aches and pains from sitting in front of the dreaded computer. Nothing else does.”

Ned

“I’ve tried a fair number of different yoga teachers and have found Lucy’s classes by far the best. She seems to know how to pace the class to maximum effect and to accommodate different levels of experience seamlessly, providing you with just the right amount of information and guidance as you progress. The classes are generally small and relaxed, yet encourage you to push yourself if you wish. Invaluable once you try them!”
