Happy Customers

“My first experience of Yoga was with Menchu. I found the classes to be great fun in a really relaxed atmosphere. They contributed to my general fitness, helped calm my mind and bring my thoughts to the present, while stretching and distressing my body. I always left the class feeling more positive, energised, calm, and grounded. Menchu is a great teacher and I would highly recommend her classes.”

“I’ve done quite a lot of meditation classes with Menchu and have benefited so much from this. She has such enthusiasm for and knowledge of her subject, the classes have been a pleasure to do. I would highly recommend them.”

“Menchu is an excellent teacher. Her classes are always varied and hit the spot physically and energetically. She has the ability to read the room and then devise and instruct a class in such a way that everyone is absorbed and leaves the room feeling like they’ve had a great yoga lesson and also lifted, ready to deal with whatever happens off the mat.”

“Menchu is a wonderful teacher. Very caring and very enthusiastic. She really makes the effort to make sure that every student is safe and comfortable, and that they are getting the best out of the practice.”

“Menchu has been absolutely brilliant! I find her extremely easy to talk, and she totally understands how my previous health issues affect me. Yoga therapy has been terrific for a problem I had with my hip. I am definitely more agile and pain free. Overall agility has improved greatly.”

“I can’t highlight enough how lovely these treatments were. Menchu is kind, considerate, intuitive and a wonderful communicator. She listened carefully to any issues I had and she was always flexible making her treatments fit my schedule, which can sometimes be erratic. I got so much from the 60-90 minutes we spent together.”

“This is a practical workshop which will show you various techniques to meditate and breathe. It is suitable for those who wish to improve their health or for those who are looking for a more spiritual experience. Menchu is an excellent teacher and makes meditation so relaxing and simple to do. It is a really enjoyable [Meditation Techniques for Your Type] workshop.”

“I loved the workshop. I found it so well run, and in the space of two hours we got through so many different methods – I loved every minute of it. Menchu is so passionate. I love her classes and the [Meditation Techniques for Your Type] workshop was a treat.”

“Helped relieve any tension I carried in my shoulders. It was a tremendous relief. I would recommend this [Freeing Your Joints] workshop to anyone who has stiff joints or any tightness in the body at all.”

“I found it [Freeing Your Joints workshop] really inspiring because it demonstrated that knowledge of our bodies can be infinite! For instance, deceptively simple movements reveal what is happening across entire patterns of the body/posture.”

“The [Release Your Hips] workshop teaches you various simple techniques that you can practice yourself a few minutes every day to improve tension in the body and joint movement. The workshop gives background into everything that you are doing throughout and allows you to understand what you should be focusing on.”

“This is a class [Five Elements Series] for anyone looking to build a connection with themselves. To find, pamper and listen to their heart. It’s original, wonderful and holistic. Will help one to restore stillness. Provides tools for self regulation.”

“Loved the pace and variety of the session [Five Elements Series]. It felt very nourishing. It was lovely to share with a small group and Menchu was very mindful to suggest variations where necessary. I loved how relaxed yet mindful and explorative this practice was. It opened my eyes to Qigong, which I had never encountered previously.”

“Integrating qigong movement, acupressure and yin yoga practice this class [Five Elements Series] teaches you how to incorporate a self-care practice at home. As the class focuses on the lungs it can be beneficial to help release what is holding you back and practice acceptance.”

“Such a beautifully nourishing practice [Five Elements Series]. I feel so at peace after it. I loved learning the qigong. So interesting & such a beautiful pace. Myofascial release was so interesting, I cannot wait to incorporate it into my weekly routine.”
