Your Testimonials

Nothing can explain the wonderful things we create and share together as well as the words of those who participated in our retreats, tried and tested our yoga accessories and wear our clothes every day.

“The setting is incredibly peaceful and beautiful, and the conversion of the farm buildings into a retreat centre has been done to the highest standard. And the food is superb – you won’t go hungry here! But at the heart of what makes these retreats special is Ale and Ola’s teaching, and their longstanding friendship. Their styles of teaching are different but complementary, and both are skilled in giving the right blend of support and challenge to help participants expand what they believe they’re capable of. Furthermore, they both see yoga as something lived off the mat, not just practised on it. A deep dive weekend for committed yogis – highly recommended."

“An absolutely huge thank you to Ola, Ale and the whole team for making us so welcome - a truly outstanding yoga retreat experience - luxury accommodation, delicious food and a very full and varied asana program indeed - and I must add an absolutely top massage therapist! I couldn’t possibly have asked for more! With luck our paths may cross again at a future Fire and Bliss retreat! Much love."

“Incredible retreat - can’t wait for the next one!

You will have the option to be physically pushed but it will be done with love, care and options.
Anyone would love this retreat, particularly those who already have a yoga practice and want to develop their asanas and connection to their mind and body.

I chose this retreat because I was keen to take some me time and reconnect with my practice.
Not knowing the teachers I thought the schedule looked great and the venue was gorgeous.
It was a great decision as I adored every minute! It was an incredibly special experience.

Both Ale and Ola are highly experienced and dedicated teachers, but also just the loveliest humans who share themselves so openly and unconditionally, that you can’t help but feel in the best hands and comfortable to turn up exactly as you are.

Despite the fact that I’d never met either of them beforehand, I felt totally welcome from the second I arrived. They really went above and beyond and honestly, I left feeling like the whole weekend was tailored just for me. It was a profound experience and I’ve been doing Ola’s online classes three times a week since!"

“Huge efforts went into putting together a smooth yoga / meditation programme, delicious & nutritious food 3x a day, and creating an overall comfortable space. The venue is clean, and well put together which contributes to the overall tranquility of the weekend.

Ola and Ale are an unparalleled, highly experienced team who teach different styles of yoga across multiple classes per day during the retreat.

They focus on each individual offering advice and assists that furthered everyone's practice."

"THANK YOU SO MUCH Ola and Ale, for a super weekend - It was an absolute tonic and just what I needed.

The yoga classes were the best I’ve ever done, the food was fabulous, the setting was blissful in every way, we were so well looked after by the F&B team and to share all that with such a wonderful bunch of people was an experience I’ll always treasure.

I’m very inspired by lots of things this weekend, lots of ideas and positive changes I can action and I’m ready and raring to get back to normality....tomorrow!!!"

“If you are thinking about it, do it!
I have already booked my next retreat. We all deserve some time to focus on ourselves and retreat from our hectic working and family lives.

A recent bereavement left me feeling overwhelmed and exhausted. I felt I needed some time to focus on me. I was also keen to reignite my too long dormant love of yoga.

This retreat helped me to reset and nourished my mind, body (amazing food, thanks to Ola!) and soul.
Fabulous yoga classes throughout with excellent teachers who really made you feel both welcome and an important element of the experience.
The wonderful people I met made this experience all the more fabulous!”
