Testimonials:

I have been lucky enough to have had Gabrielle Tourelle  as my yoga teacher for about 4 years since 2011. As well as being a gorgeous human being she is a gifted teacher.

Her ability to talk you through the poses is fantastic so you are not having to constantly stop to look at what she is doing.

She keeps a very close eye on everyone and gently corrects any mistakes.

The classes cater for a wide range of experience and different options are always suggested for those with varying abilities or any health issues.

Every class is different (she obviously spends a lot of time and thought preparing)

and the inspiration she gains from doing courses and attending other yoga teachers classes is passed on to us. I feel very blessed to have her as my teacher. – Ann Kleim
