“Astrid’s classes have been a godsend whilst I have been recovering from injury. Thoughtful and well paced using a combination of approaches from traditional yoga to guided meditations and other sensitive techniques. Five stars!"

“I am so relaxed after yoga class that I sleep really well. Sometimes, it even lasts for another day or two.”

"Astrid led a lovely Cacao ceremony session for a small group of us. It was a lovely experience, that was multi sensory - the rich chocolate smell and taste, with movement and meditation. This really brought on a spiritual sense of connectedness and calm. Thank you Astrid x"
