“Your yoga sessions are the highlight of my week!” Jo Duncombe
“Your yoga classes for me they’re like pressing my ‘reset’ button each week. It’s Goldilocks yoga – not too ‘ommy’ but not too ‘exercise-class’; plenty that is flowing and familiar but always a welcome jolt of a new posture or insight. Great mix, just right”
S.P.“I came to Judith struggling with depression, anxiety, chronic fatigue and obsessive thoughts. I was a complete mess and everyday a roller coaster of emotions. I have been coming to Judith for a number of months now and can honestly say that she has helped me tremendously. Over the months I have been introduced to several short yoga practices which I now do everyday one in the morning and one at bedtime. Judith has taken time to explain how maintaining a regular yoga practice will help rewire my brain into a more stable, calmer and positive mind set. I was sceptical at first, having been locked in a horrid cycle for so long. However, I have stuck to it and I can now really see the benefits. My ups and downs so far have been less severe. I feel calmer and able to cope with my emotions more effectively. I feel that I now have something that is just for me – my yoga practice. I look forward to doing it each day”.

Integrative Yoga Psychotherapy (IYP)with Judith has been like the missing piece of the puzzle for me. I’m a long-time yoga practitioner and have experienced several different types of talking therapy previously, all of which felt helpful in different ways. Yet, I was still finding that old and unhelpful patterns showed up in my mind and my life. I also felt like my life could be something of pinball machine where I ricocheted between the calm and clarity I got from my yoga practice and old patterns of avoidance and distraction that have been a challenge since my teenage years. The IYP sessions with Judith have helped me to understand some of things that created these patterns and to do deep healing work with the parts of myself that were still hurting. On the rare occasions that these patterns show up now, I meet them with compassion, care, and curiosity, which has proved to be a much more effective response! I feel like IYP has been an “integration” on all levels – mind, body, energy and spirit. I would highly recommend it. IYP Client – Online – Spring 2025
“Experiencing therapy with Judith has transformed my life for the better. I was searching for a way to reconnect with my practice and myself after a serious illness and Judith was so kind, patient, and full of wisdom as I found my way back. Judith created a peaceful and loving space for exploration and healing as well as challenging me where necessary, and I am so grateful to her for gently showing me the way. The techniques and approaches Judith taught me are now part of my daily practice and I am going forward confidently as a result” N.LP Winchester
“Since the age of 18 I have suffered panic attacks and panic disorder, severe anxiety, and bouts of depression. I was on a lot of medication in recent years and started practicing yoga more regularly as a way to find some balance and calm within myself and my life.I am now medication-free for the first time in years. My ability to deal with the feelings of panic that often would leave me house-bound have come from pranayama and yogic breathing techniques” Ciara – Winchester
“I have suffered with anxiety & panic attacks for most of my adult life. I discovered yoga 4 years ago during a particularly bad time and it has given me a fantastic coping tool. Being able to control my breath & induce calm has been life changing. And with the wonderful side effect of having a toned body that the gym never gave me! I have also noticed that all my yoga instuctors have always looked ten years younger than their actual age!”

“Judith’s classes, in the calm surroundings of her studio, are something I really look forward to every week …… I go home with both my body and mind feeling refreshed and renewed. Judith is a warm and intuitive teacher and seems to understand exactly what we are all hoping to achieve”.

“Judith’s yoga class is one of the highlights of my week for the haven of tranquillity it offers. The teaching experience Judith is able to give us is outstanding. What she manages to impart in that hour – ranging from yoga postures, to leading us into a meditative state, to breath technique, to sharing wisdom and insight – is astonishing. The class a privilege to be a part of. I absolutely love the setting and the way that the music changes as we move through the different stages of the hour, from primordial beats to ethereal chants. Her generosity in sharing and passing on her knowledge inspires me to do the best I can. For the first time in twenty years I am succeeding in making yoga exercise and thinking a part of my daily life. My mobility, sleeping patterns and energy levels are all benefiting. Thank you Judith.”

“ I …… felt unravelled”

“In 2014 I attended a yoga retreat to help myself overcome problems & addictions, including an unhealthy relationship with alcohol & smoking.
The retreat was the first step, but in order to maintain recovery & healing, I wanted to continue my yoga practice.
I landed on my feet (& hands in downward facing dog, in this case) when I discovered Judith’s class.
It has done so much for me in order to stay focused on my recovery & journey back to good health – body, mind & spirit.
I can’t thank her enough”

“Yoga with Judith has been both transformative and uplifting.
Small classes provide the perfect place for learning, and time for each student to develop at their own pace.
Judith’s teaching is full of warmth,wisdom,and understanding.
Highly recommended.””

“Just a quick note to say you are a wonderful teacher and one of the things I feel when I attend your class is that I can be whoever I am at that moment, that it’s totally ok if I am having one of those days when I am out of balance and focus, it’s ok if I turn my body left when it’s supposed to be right, that I can breathe out when everybody is breathing in…that I can be as different as I am and be One with everyone just the same. Not many teachers I know allow for this expression and hold space for the individual journey. You help me being more compassionate with myself. So thank you, Judith.”
