Happy members

Over the last 16 years, we’ve helped thousands of yoga students on their new path of fitness, flexibility and strength. They tell us that coming to Peacock Tree Yoga is the best part of their day.

Russ R

“I’m a sceptical builder — not exactly your average yogi. I thought, ‘What the heck, I’ll give anything a go once.’ A year later, I’m fitter, stronger, and more focused — and honestly, a much cooler cucumber! You won’t find me hugging trees or wearing henna… but that’s the beauty of it — you take from yoga whatever you need.”

Dora S

“Lilley is an exceptional yoga teacher. I’m a yoga teacher myself,  I’ve been practising for over 15 years, and she’s genuinely one of the best I’ve come across. Her knowledge, enthusiasm, and real care for her students shine through in every class. I’m super grateful for her teaching — it’s helped me live better, feel stronger, and stay inspired. Highly recommended!”

Joanna T

“I absolutely love Peacock Tree Yoga classes. I’m a yoga teacher myself, but in postpartum recovery — and Lilley’s classes have been a true lifeline. I’m gradually regaining strength, clarity, and a sense of Self. Lilley brings wisdom, energy, and real warmth to every session. She creates a space where you can reconnect and rebuild. I’m so grateful to be part of this wonderful community.”

Ben M

“Honestly my favourite night of the week! I’m 26 and it’s helped loads with my running and climbing. Great teaching, great vibe — I always leave feeling better in body and mind.”

Rachel B

“I’ve been going to Peacock Tree for a few months now and I look forward to class every week! Lilley and all the teachers are so encouraging. I’ve already made real progress and feel better for it — physically and mentally. It’s become a highlight in my routine.”

Rose M

“I’ve been practising yoga with Peacock Tree for over a decade, and I just love Lilley and the team. I joined after finishing treatment for breast cancer, and yoga has been a big part of my recovery and ongoing health. The classes are always adaptable — it’s not about perfectionism, just showing up and taking time for yourself. I always leave feeling stronger, more grounded, and more connected.”
