Tori is among the best yoga teachers I have met - her gentle and conscientious teaching style mean her classes have become one of the highlights of my week!

I have been practising yoga for nearly 10 years, and Tori's clases are some of the best I have attended. She teaches with an excellent eye for detail and subtlety - I am now working on postures I never thought I would be able to achieve!

I wasn't too sure what to expect at first. I had some doubts that it would just be vaguely hippie nonsense. But I find that just five minutes of yoga's a great way to get my thoughts together and help me to concentrate for long periods. It's a good way to keep me fit and flexible without the pulls and strains of high impact exercise. So I have no hesitation, and no embarrassment in recommending it to anyone. And after an extended session it's like you've taken a mild upper without all the nasty after effects ;)

"Just to say that your class yesterday was a very refreshing enjoyable experience!"

Yoga. Like most men brought up on a strict diet of rugby, football, martial arts and other testosterone fuelled contact sports, the idea of yoga never really appealed to me. The misconceived idea of spending an hour of two stretching bits of me that really shouldn’t be stretched and humming to the sound of whale music in the company of ladies in lycra didn’t really push any of my manly buttons and so it was something I was never going to try. However whilst training, yoga was introduced as a part of my course and I am extremely grateful it was. Yoga was an opportunity to "take a break" from what was becoming an extremely stressful and punishing week, and I don’t mean in the lazy, skive off, do nothing sense. It was an opportunity to relax and focus both body and mind whilst at the same time pushing both stamina and fitness levels.

Before starting yoga with Tori, I suffered with very poor posture resulting in eight years of neck, shoulder and back pain, this pain was like constant tooth ache, within the eight years, I saw a physio's and sports therapists, they eased my condition for up to a month at a time, but then the conditon would return. I joined Tori's yoga classes in 2011 with the hope of becoming more flexible, within weeks of joining, I found my shoulder, neck and back were free of pain and I felt more free within my body than I can remember.

Yoga with Tori has given me a pain free body, which has enabled me to be more focused in other areas of my life and feeling happier within myself. I would strongly recommend Yoga with Tori, Tori is very knowledgeable, warm and supportive, and the classes are fun.

I would urge everybody to give yoga a chance. As part of a healthy fitness regime it is second to none. I have noticed improvements in my core strength, agility, posture and respiration. But the one thing that yoga provides that cannot be beaten is a sense of total relaxation and calmness, which in a daily lifestyle filled with stress is a must.

I'm very blessed to be taught yoga by such a lovely teacher... I am more calm, better rested and often more confident around other people as a result of doing the course

It really sets me up in a good frame of mind for the rest of the week. I have tried many teachers, but was really inspired and learnt the most with Tori. Thanks

It has helped me to be more gentle with myself emotionally and physically...

Overall, yoga - with a lovely, sensitive tutor is the positive change that my life's been crying out for :-)

Tori, I think you are great, you are a real inspiration to me and the patients and staff alike. Your consistent approach and calmness is greatly appreciated. thank you.

A very well taught , well organised course that has improved the quality of my sleeping. As a result of the course I am far more aware of my breathing at bed time. PS. And I can nearly touch my toes now!

Thank you with all of my heart for your unique support and guidance since I joined your course. Being able to commit myself to something so positive on a weekly basis is a big thing for me and your kindness and sensitivity has helped me to do that. I now have a reason to feel proud of myself, for the first time in a long time, as your classes have given me so much, and I just wanted to thank you for helping me make that positive change to my life.

Just wanted to thank you again for the yoga class.
It was really nice to see how you genuinely enjoy teaching and the pleasure you get from sharing your knowledge with others - your passion for yoga is very infectious.
I left feeling very relaxed and happy and I'm looking forward to next week

I just wanted to say that I very much enjoyed your yoga classes. Considering how nervous I was starting and how lacking in confidence I felt, I’d like to thank you for putting me at ease through your welcoming style of teaching. I’m going to miss the class but feel that I’ll practice some kind of yoga (in some shape or form!!) for the long term now.

I have felt a lot more positive and less anxious.

I CAN RUN NOW WITHOUT MAJOR BACK PAIN!

I really enjoy your teaching style - it is gentle, very thorough, encouraging and always sympathetic.

I thoroughly enjoyed the course - you made everyone feel welcome!

The biggest change for me is learning what my body is capable of - small steps each week have made a significant difference to my strength and flexibility.
