Reflections from Students

“I have recently joined Yoga with Flo. I am quite new to Penrith and returning to yoga after a few years. To be honest, after such a long break, I was both nervous and anxious about restarting. Flo was helpful and put me at ease when I first contacted her. So, I decided to sign up for 4 sessions. I have just come to the end of these sessions and I can’t wait for the next block.  Flo is a great teacher. She is both encouraging and supportive, guiding us through each session at a gentle pace, which is suitable for everyone. My nerves and anxiety disappeared quickly and I felt confident to return and continue after the first session. I am already feeling the benefit of the yoga and will definitely continue regularly.

I highly recommend Yoga with Flo. Her classes are excellent and I look forward to continuing regularly. Thank you.”

“For many years I have tried various yoga classes and I never quite got it, I thought it was me…Then I found Yoga with Flo!

Flo has this natural affinity to enable me to just be! She is a great teacher! Her knowledge, her voice, her gentleness, her content (always different). Her classes flow with stretches and movement. She enables me to connect my mind to my breathing and my body (somehow - it must be some magic) which takes me into an hour of total bliss. Thank you, Flo.”

“As a relative newbie to yoga, Flo’s classes have been a great way to get started! She is welcoming of all abilities, ensuring sessions are 100% judgement-free by encouraging playfulness and self confidence, helping us not to worry about doing the movements perfectly. There is a good balance of stretching, strengthening, and mindfulness activities. With a lot of flexibility in class times and great communication about any changes, Flo offers everything an aspiring yogi needs.”

“Since moving to Penrith 4 years ago I have been searching for a regular yoga class.' Yoga with Flo' is more than a class, it's a community! Flo is warm, welcoming and nurturing who has a natural affinity with her students. Classes suitable for all; Flo guides you through a flowing practice with her silky voice which makes you feel calm and peaceful. She encourages and invites you to explore the connection between your mind, body and breath through a series of breathing and relaxation exercises in a supportive space that befits the studio's unique setting with added natural birdsong!

I always look forward to my 'Yoga with Flo' practice and being part of the friendly and supportive community she is creating.”

“I am someone with a very busy mind, and find it really tricky to relax, never mind stay in the present moment. I also do a lot of cycling, fell running and gym work but tend to skimp on any stretching or restorative movement. Flo's yoga is the perfect tonic for my whirring thoughts and busy, active lifestyle. I also find it improves my sleep quality.

Flo is a natural teacher, her soothing voice gently guides you as she demonstrates at what feels like the perfect pace. I love the combination of grounding breathing exercises, flowing and energising Hatha yoga that pushes me just enough, and restorative relaxation. Each class with Flo seamlessly balances familiar movements with something a bit different, and always with scaling options if needed - so you always feel safe and relaxed throughout. I really look forward to every class - thank you Flo.”

“Flo provides a mindful but also challenging yoga practice with help and advice with difficult poses. Thought out adjustments are suggested to address individual needs too. She is professional, friendly and supportive. I come away feeling like my body is more flexible and my mind is more relaxed. Her lovely sessions are held in calm, clean locations with a variety of options in terms of days, times and styles of yoga. Thank you Flo.”

“I cannot say enough wonderful things about yoga classes with Flo. She’s an excellent instructor who brings an amazing warmth to classes. They are the perfect balance of strength, mindfulness, and restoration. There are options to challenge yourself, but it’s always made clear and encouraged to find what works best for you.
Flo’s guidance is gentle yet empowering, always encouraging us to listen to our bodies and grow at our own pace. As mentioned she creates a warm, welcoming atmosphere that’s filled with positive energy making everyone in class feel seen, supported, and inspired.
Her passion and talent for yoga shines through in every session and I always look forward to the next practice and it’s inspiring me to hopefully do more in the future.

I absolutely highly recommend, especially if you're looking for a yoga instructor who truly cares about their class, radiates a calm vibrancy and brings a fantastic knowledge and energy to each session.”

“I'm so glad I found Flo. Her style of yoga is approachable, really enjoyable and I always leave her classes feeling as though I've pushed myself but really relaxed and centred.
Flo has a superb attention to detail, she explains movements really well but also ensures that the class understands the postures and, if necessary, any modifications so that the class flows and the students learn. Flo doesn't just do yoga in front of a class, she really teaches it.”

“Started Yoga with Flo as a complete beginner and loving the sessions. We start with grounding, move into yoga through flowing movements and end with relaxation. A perfectly balanced session in my opinion. Flo is very welcoming and an excellent teacher, gradually building your yoga confidence from session to session. Highly recommend.”
