Dani's patience, guidance, encouragement and calm aura were a pleasure to be around. She is a very special person who can tap into people's needs and abilities. I was feeling lost, lacking in confidence and very apprehensive about the weekend but it's undoubtedly one of the BEST things I have ever done for ME !! Thank you, thank you thank you.

It was the best most spectacular invigorating and exhilarating yoga trip I have ever experienced. I love the yoga, mindfulness, meditation, deep breathing techniques and exercises. Dani was excellent at teaching, guiding and talking us through all these. I loved the balance between yoga and meditation etc and the downtime. I laughed until I cried at times, I loved the bond created between all 14 women who connected and shared and laughed, showed kindness and compassion. I found inner peace which was my intention for the week. Dani is a wonderful, warm and inspiring Yoga teacher. You are beautiful inside and out and have a gift for what you do adding poetry extracts, lavender massages and being attentive to our needs all the time. I loved every minute of this trip and am so grateful for you. Much love and light

The facilities at The Deerstone were top class but the experience was even more so. The yoga itself was exactly the right combination of challenging but nourishing to the body, and the addition of breathwork, meditation, and interesting conversations over delicious food was just the best weekend I could have hoped for for my mom's 70th birthday. You yourself are such a gifted instructor -- I really felt an improvement in my sense of my body thanks to some of the work. Plus, my mother and I found the closing forehead massages so soothing, we're still talking about them! Thank you so much for such a lovely and enriching experience.

I absolutely loved this retreat weekend. This was my first retreat and I feel like I'm returning home to my family with a full cup. It's only when you are given the space & permission to relax that you realise the stress, anxiety and "noise" you are holding in your body. Thank you Dani for a wonderful restorative weekend.

“ Dani’s retreat gave me complete acceptance of “me”. I love how unintrusive you are Dani, yet still very aware of everyone and their vulnerabilities. Dani is a beautiful gentle person with a huge strength of character. An unforgettable experience”

Louise

Dani is so professional and knowledgeable. SHe really made sure I was welcomed as a single person on my own & that I was introduced to everyone else. It was my first time doing yoga but she made sure I learned positions an there was no pressure to do more than I was capable of. I'd highly recommend Dani's retreat whether an experienced or newbie student.

Angela

Dani thank you for a very relaxing retreat. You hold the room, listen to the students and have a beautiful guiding voice. January is a wonderful time of year to retreat. Sessions were beautiful planned. Thank you and I'm looking forward to next year.

It was an amazing and unforgettable week. Dani's wonderful caring, attentive, fun approach made this a truly exceptional experience and exceeded my expectations. She created the perfect Yoga retreat - every day was filled with morning & evening practice - additional workshops were laid on for those of us who needed a little attention at the start. Dani's teaching style is fab; patient, empathetic, fun and enthusiastic. There were so many highlights, the friendships, the exceptional location, the sunset yoga session, the island itself. Thank you Dani for an unforgettable experience, I will treasure it

“Dani there are no words to thank you for hands down one of the best weeks of my life. I loved every second of it. You created a space for women to find their strength and be proud of it, each and every one of us came with something but left with so much more. The fun the laughter the joy I will never forget. As a newbie to Yoga I loved the feeling of calmness that I got from the practice and I will definitely make the time to continue with that. You are the kindest coolest most inspirational chick that I know”

Ger

Thank YOU Dani - what a beautiful weekend we spent with you - so nourishing and restorative and... lots of laughs too! You facilitated it so beautifully bringing in such a wealth of knowledge, learning and yoga practise to uplift us all. And Deerstone was such a treat. Do keep in touch and definitely book us guys in for next year please!

I wish the weekend was ahead of us again and I had all the wonderful things and people to look forward to. It was absolutely brilliant, I enjoyed it so much. The light had gone out inside me and thanks to you and your practices I think it has begun to shine again, in a small but really significant way. A million thank yous. See you on one of your yoga days !

Katherine

As a first timer to a Yoga Retreat with no expectations, I have definitely been missing out all my life. Back at my desk I am feeling calm, relaxed and invigorated, albeit a tad sore having stretched muscles that have been ignored for far too long. I also couldn’t have asked to meet a nicer group of people who brought as much to the weekend as the Yoga did, along with lots of belly laughs. Will definitely be doing more Yoga Retreats in the future.

I went into the weekend with the intention of “surrender” and I found myself doing this throughout your retreat. Surrendering into the yoga pose, surrendering into the meditation. Not worrying about who I would sit beside - just allowing it all to evolve. You created an energy that made it easy to surrender. From how you planned the agenda to how you created a calm, friendly and safe space among a group of women who were, up until that weekend, complete strangers. You seemed to read our minds with how you planned for higher energy activities at the start of the weekend (this reflected our busy minds) and then gently moved this to slower more reflective practises as you slowed our busy minds down. It just was all so perfect. Thank you for showing me that “doing nothing” can actually do so much more than all that busyness that has become my habit. I will be back, of that I have no doubt.

Even as a complete mindfulness novice it was clear that Dani has a unique gift in teaching yoga and meditation. By paying attention to each person at their individual level she really encouraged improvement. Dani radiates positivity, calm and is extremely empowering with the poetry she read and the pieces she spoke about. From start to finish the retreat was well organised with communication at every stage. No query was too much and she was very approachable. As for the group, what a fabulous bunch of ladies-great fun, free flowing laughter and fondest of memories.
