What Do People Say?

“Thank you for a very inspiring workshop yesterday. Lots to think about as a consequence, and, I can feel a few bits of me that obviously have not moved in that way for a while.” Carol

“I’m so grateful to have access to Maria’s classes online. I’ve personally been able to fully commit to a daily practice. My lower back & hip have improved beyond what I thought possible due to the specific spine work. This is just one of the many gifts of yoga! I am truly grateful for the support & teachings that are shared.” Marie, Florida.

“Maria’s classes are a therapeutic highlight of my week. Her gentle, intelligent, often thought-provoking classes add balance to my mind and body, which leave my soul lighter on leaving.” Iona 

" I am very much enjoying Maria's gentle mindful style of teaching. Her different approach to yoga has really encouraged me to listen to my body more and to practice more thoughtfully. She is encouraging us to focus more on the journey and less on the destination and egos are left outside! " Sarah

“I would describe yoga with Maria as Thoughtful Yoga as we are encouraged to be aware of even the slightest movements that we make. I feel more aware of my body as it moves in everyday life as a result. ”  Lucinda

“Maria’s Scaravelli inspired Yoga may be different, but for me, it is kinder and softer on the body.  I am always taken by surprise just how powerful a small movement can feel. This approach to yoga supports my whole body both physically and emotionally.” Irene

“I have been taking yoga classes with Maria for a number of years. She has a wonderfully gentle, natural and intuitive way of teaching.” Louise 

“I enjoy the pace of Maria’s class, which uses a wide variety of postures tailored to the individual’s ability. The relaxed atmosphere within her class removes all sense of awkwardness and competitiveness and enables me to listen to my body and respond. I always leave her class feeling taller, more supple and more relaxed than I did when entering it, thank you.” Louise

“Maria is very patient and calm. She is an excellent teacher and through her I have learnt not to force myself into postures but to listen to my body..” Wendy

“Maria brings a thoughtfulness and detailed knowledge to her classes and is very accommodating to the requirements of her individual pupils.” Gaby

“The Yoga tool bag contains many things that I don’t need or would quickly discard, but private sessions with Maria ensure that I can choose what works for me. I need a teacher to support and encourage, as I cajole my damaged body (an accident 33 years ago resulted in a compromised cervical spine and permanent nerve damage) to new levels of accepted movement.  I’ve been working with Maria for a couple of years. This is one of the best decisions I could have made, both life-saving and life-enhancing.”  Yvonne 

 “Maria’s classes are well structured and tailored for the needs of her students, there is usually a theme for each term/half term and mindful practice is always the way. The classes leave my mind peaceful and I have a settled and relaxed body. Having had some injuries yoga helps me keep moving every day gently and carefully” Alison 

“Maria is sensitive to the needs of all class members, that is why I enjoy her classes so much” Linda
