(To David Sye the yoga teacher/ Champneys weekend)

Hi David,
As I didn't catch you before I left, thanks for an inspiring and enjoyable weekend at Champneys. Looking forward to coming to another event soon and in the meantime will try and remember to breathe and eat chocolate mindfully (even if it is torture!).
All the best David,

I just wanted to say thanks very much for organising the Yoga holiday in Dahab.
Leone was great and it was a good bunch of people on the trip. Everyone had a really good time.
Best wishes

Had a BRILLIANT Yoga holiday in Kailasam!!!
It was pure magic....... & everything was more than I had anticipated - just a fabulous experience - thank you so much!!!
In fact I loved it so much that I have booked flights tonight to Dalaman in June......... So I hope that there is still a place on the course - again with June as teacher.......!!!!
(I did consider Crete but the dates clash with a holiday arranged with friends.......)

I’ve been meaning to send a quick note ever since I returned from my yoga holiday (at the end of October!), booked through your company (staying at the Faralaya Hotel, nr Olu Deniz, Turkey)

Although I’ve been practising yoga for about 4 years, it’s the first time I’ve been on such a holiday but any doubts I might have had quickly vanished on arrival. I’ve already written a testimonial for the teacher, Amy Redler, who was excellent. But I just wanted to let you know that the hotel and staff were also outstanding, the hotel itself being set in a stunning location overlooking the Turquoise coast. Murat and his team were very attentive to our needs and went above and beyond the call of duty to ensure we had an enjoyable and relaxing holiday. One small example: one evening at dinner, Amy mentioned to the rest of us that she was missing chocolate. Murat must have overheard this as the next night we were presented with individual chocolate desserts. The rest of the group also appreciated that male staff kept a discreet distance whilst we used the pool and no-one was made to feel uncomfortable.

Booking through FreeSpirit was straightforward and I liked that I could phone and speak to someone in person [a friendly individual rather than a call centre!], to answer questions and concerns before committing to booking.

I have mentioned your company to a number of friends and would not hesitate to recommend Free Spirit Travel.

With best wishes for 2012,

I just wanted to say what a wonderful holiday we had at the Blue Beach Hotel. The hotel was lovely and the staff eager to help from the manager to the cleaner, all were full of smiles. Jana was a joy as a yoga teacher: full of advice and encouragement. Both Kirsty Ann and myself learned a lot and
are already talking about taking another yoga holiday - so that can't be bad.

Thank you for all your help
Regards

Hi Jilly,
I had very nice holidays at Crete.
THANK YOU!

Hi Jilly,
Another perfect week in Turkey. Grenadine Lodge immaculate as usual, excellent food, and cloudless blue skies with lots of sunshine. We had a good group too, despite the superabundance of Davids!
I’d like to mention Jackie Coulson’s teaching specially. I thought her classes were excellent. Of course there’s an element of personal taste here, but I thought she got really good results with her slower tempo and deep stretches. She was very attentive to the personal needs and limitations of all the participants, and was always ready and willing to hold extra sessions. She took the trouble to explain how the positions were working, and structured the classes to really open up the body in a progressive way. So, full marks from me. I understand she is teaching with you in Dahab later in March 2012 – that may be a bit late for me, but I will certainly bear her dates in mind to see if they work after all.

Best wishes, David (September 2011)



hi Debbie
I just wanted to say that i had a fantastic holiday in Turkey. Lindsay was a great teacher and such a lovely person. She and Graham made the holiday so much fun for everyone and very relaxing. The group was lovely and the hotel was fantastic. Aygul andco really do an amazing job. I couldn't find fault with anything.

My only bit of feedback is that I almost didn't book with your company asyour website put me off a little bit as it looked quite outdated....however, I'm really glad I did book with you. I've done 3 yoga holidaysnow in the last year and Free Spirit have offered the most efficient service and provided the most information out of all of three companies
I've travelled with. I also thought the choice of location/accommodation and yoga teacher was perfectly pitched for my requirements.

Anyway, thank you for a fantastic holiday and I will definitely be keen to book with you again.

best wishes

FOOOTNOTE FROM JILLY : we are working on the new website, its just taking much longer than we had anticipated - it will arrive I promise, probably about April 2012

 

I just want to say that I had a great holiday at Spectrum. It was a lovely peaceful resort and felt more like a retreat than the place I went for yoga in Dalyan last year. Also Tom and Joanne were the perfect hosts.

Hope you are having a great summer,
Suzanne (August 2011)

 

It's back to reality but I have a huge grin on my face, feel like a new woman!
Thank you so much for a wonderful week of yoga. It reminded me how much I love it and missed it in recent months. I am very lucky to have met you, you are a great teacher and inspiration to me.

"Hello,

I've just returned from the trip to Kailasam and wanted to let you know what a wonderful holiday it was! Diana is a fantastic hostess and very caring and thoughtful. She made it very easy for us to organise great outings and trips in the local area and never lost patience, despite the 100's of questions we asked! The yoga was inclusive of all our various levels of ability and although I was quite far behind some of the other people in yoga practice, I never felt left out or unable to participate because Diana is a very imaginative and open teacher.

I also had the full Ayurvedic programme of massages and detox with Mohan and though it wasn't always exactly comfortable, I am now more relaxed than I have been in years! He also managed to fix a couple of long standing problems I had with my ankle and neck/back, so my movement has improved beyond anything I thought possible! It was fascinating!

I would highly recommend this holiday to anyone of any age or experience, and I certainly hope to visit again one day. India is a magical place and I loved every minute of it!"

Thank you, Ingrid

I hope to go next year provided its exactly the same!"

"Judith Salinson and I had a great week with Tyrone at Casa Villatalla. What a super yoga teacher he is and Casa Villatalla is lovely. Marina and Roger were both charming and Marina's cooking is delicious.

Would you please put me on your mailing list."
