calm mind, healthy body, happy life

EIGHT YEARS OF YOGA....

I just wanted to say thank you so much for another fabulous term; I’m not sure what i’d do without your teaching and guidance. You are a very special person with outstanding teaching abilities and I am so lucky to have found you all those years ago.

Retreat 2021

My retreat experience was one of renewal. I came away feeling calmer and more relaxed as well as feeling energised and ready to pick up my activity levels with enthusiasm. The transition from the retreat back to the "real world" was particularly well handled. The retreat group was nurturing and mutually supportive but not earnest and we had plenty of laughter.

Creating Calm

Attending Jacquelyn's courses are far more than just attending yoga classes; she provides you with a 'toolkit' that you can use to create little oases of peace and calm within yourself in all aspects of your daily life. It's like giving your mind a little holiday whenever you need it! Furthermore, the sessions themselves are an absolute joy and I can honestly say that every single session ends with me feeling better than when I started.

Anxiety Management

I had a 1-2-1 session with Jacquelyn at a particularly stressful time just before sitting the final oral exam of my degree. She created a very peaceful, calm space where I felt particularly held and relaxed during the deep breathing and visualization exercises.

Jacquelyn has a particularly calm and warm presence, and I found her 1-2-1 session extremely supportive, to the extent that when I sat my exam, I felt calm, focussed and grounded. I would highly recommend her.

A series of one to one yoga sessions with Jacquelyn was a much loved birthday present and following those sessions I've joined one of her regular classes and attended a couple of workshops. Jacquelyn's approach is inclusive, informative and confidence building. The teaching of postures, breathing and philosophy are just right and something magical seems to happen in the classes - I don't know what it is but I always feel better.

Space for unwinding

Jacquelyn’s yoga classes in her lovely garden room provide a haven in the stress of everyday life. She guides you through techniques to explore breathing, postures and the stages of meditation leaving you feeling revitalised and free of tension. She has a very relaxed and playful approach so her lessons are always fun and enjoyable, whether you’ve been practising for years or are a newcomer to yoga.

Jacquelyn has the most beautiful yoga studio with a lovely garden view which gives the whole practice a unique quality and much preferable to an enclosed studio. Her classes are warm enlightening and hugely supportive. Anyone that is a little nervous as a beginner should have no qualms and experienced yogis will enjoy the wonderful feeling of peace and togetherness. (Parking is an added bonus!)
Definitely highly recommend Halcyon Yoga

Yoga classes

Have just completed second term of yoga classes with Jacquelyn and have felt the benefits both physically and mentally. Learnt new techniques and ways of practice even though I have attended yoga classes for a few years so glad to have found a proper yoga approach. Excellent studio as well and very friendly group.

I've just finished the first term of yoga with Jacquelyn. I'm sure it won't be my last! I learned much about breathing and being in touch with my body and what it's telling me, but the main (and unexpected) benefit was to realise just how much tension my body holds when I think I'm relaxing... in 7 short weeks I've lost a lot of tension I didn't know I had, I've become more supple and am comfortable mentally and physically. It's a beautiful feeling, and one I'm very keen to get more of!

Weekend Yoga & Meditation Retreat

I found the retreat in Kingham a perfect way to ‘Spring Clean’ my mind and body. The cottage and its facilities were a real treat, Jacquelyn and her daughter Imogen prepared delicious home cooked meals and the yoga was just what I needed. I want to hang on to the feeling of those ‘halcyon days’,
Thank you Jacquelyn
