“I needed to look no further”
When I moved York, I tried 4 different classes – when I started Peacock Tree Yoga’s Gentle Hatha class I knew I needed to look no further!

“I was a bit skeptical”
As a bloke, I was a bit skeptical to try yoga, but after my first lesson those thoughts vanished. It’s brilliant.
Ryan Hoey, 20, Student
“I lost over a stone”
I lost over a stone in a year and the only thing I did differently was Peacock Tree yoga. I love it.

“wonderful uplifting energy”
Thanks for a beautiful class this eve. It felt very special. And a huge thank you for your positive energy. Even when doing so much day to day you still bring the most wonderful uplifting energy.

“an hour’s pleasure”
For me, each Monday you bring an hour’s pleasure (and much needed exercise) and such a ray of Sunshine too!
Jack Marchbank
“a sense of community”
I always love the insight and knowledge you share. You have a joyful and patient perspective in a very confusing daily routine for me. The thing above all that Peacock Tree yoga has given me is a sense of community, knowing that I gain insights from you and being able to connect to others in the world outside of my family and immediate friends.
Debs Whitwell
“stepping out of the maelstrom”
Doing yoga with you is like stepping out of the maelstrom and having some tranquillity, not having to think about it all for an hour. It’s refreshing and revitalising.
