Reviews
I have just been on Lisa’s weekend retreat in Thrupp and what an amazing yoga experience it was!
The yoga was perfect for a beginner yogi. I had my first gong bath with Ale and restorative yin and yang with Lisa, both amazing and can’t wait to do these again. Both Lisa and Ness were great teachers with a reassuring hand when needed and encouragement when a wobble or unexpected loss of mobility comes into play .
The accommodation was perfect warm log fire and big cosy sofas all perfect for relaxing and a girlie chat. And finally the food ... wow absolutely delicious. Tanya produced the most mouth watering delights especially the chocolate brownies.
All in all a fabulous weekend. If you are considering joining Lisa on one of her retreats do it she is lovely. Thanks Lisa, Ness and Tanya

Brilliant retreat by Lisa Valentine Yoga in Thrupp!
Enjoyed the yoga, Pilates, meditation, companionship and massages on offer throughout the weekend.
The vegetarian food was tasty and plentiful. And all of this in a lovely setting along the Oxford Canal. Highly recommend!

Lisa Valentine
Core Subject: Yoga Instructor
Inspirational and dedicated yoga instructor, Lisa has been training in yoga for 20 years. She will assist you throughout your retreat by improving your posture and making clear the philosophy behind every pose. She discovered yoga on one of her traveling tours in her 20's. The best thing about her is that she enjoys her own self and also loves to travel alone. After some time, she realized that yoga and meditation can recover any person within as she has observed. Her every class is different and also has a unique energy and keeps on unwinding something new and expanding.
