Testimonials from the Retreat
The moment I met Gerry I knew I had to spend more time with this exceptional woman. I booked a 3-day retreat for my parents, my daughter and myself and the journey we embarked on with her was incredibly transformative and healing.
Her very fine intuition guided us masterfully through the fog of our hearts and minds. Art and movement were catalysts for profound inner encounters. Her way of gracefully touching the deepest parts in us followed by an outburst of laughter coming straight from her heart is truly one of a kind. She showered us in generosity and the gifts along the way were many.
Gerry is one of those very rare humans that humbly and authentically transmit the teachings by truly embodying and emitting them. If you are lucky enough to have her in your surroundings - you are blessed.
The food - oh the food! The creations were absolutely divine, all of us were enjoying every bite to the fullest. Refined spices, all clean and fresh, very diverse and made with love.
Nothing more to say.
Thank you, Gerry, for changing our lives.

I am so pleased I have made space for this Course. The time I have given to myself is invaluable because I feel such a transformation within me.
In a very beautiful, supportive and nurturing place I have begun a journey that has taken me deep within. This is more than a course, it is an experience into real yogic living, into love and light.
Moving into each Chakra is an exciting discovery. I have learned so much about myself through honest exploration and creative expression and I now feel I have a more transparent knowing of who I am.
I have surrendered, let go of attachments and expectations. I have created a new, strong and stable foundation for myself that supports me, and from which I will continue to grow and learn.
My yoga practice has deepened with a new awareness of breath, movement and alignment Meditation is a joy! I feel more present and appreciative. I am more connected and trust my body’s wisdom.
It has been a blessing to have shared and connected with truly beautiful people, with so much love, in a sacred space.
Thankyou Gerry, I am forever grateful.

I had an incredible time experiencing Gerry’s teachings of the essence of yoga. I have travelled to India studying yoga for the past 20years only to find it here at my back door. The temple and surroundings are heavenly – a safe and sacred space. Gerry shares the simplicity of yoga from a place of vulnerability and gratitude offering knowledge that is brought to light in your own understanding.

Some of the most impactful moments of my life and I cannot thank you enough for all that you have shared with me. The generosity you, and your family shared with all of us, taught me the true meaning of service.
Since the end of the course, I have felt a deep sense of calm that I never thought possible and of course this gets tested daily and at times I can see myself falling into old patterns of behaviour but instead of punishing myself for the thoughts, actions, words I show myself compassion and most of all acceptance of self (all the parts). I am able to see the struggles in others and hold space for them in a way I never have before.
Deepest gratitude for all that you have imparted and shared.
