just wanted to say thank you for such a great week. I was a little apprehensive when I booked as I didn't know what to expect but thoroughly enjoyed the whole week - the classes were great and your inclusive nature made them perfect - the people, food, sun and setting - what more could I ask for from a holiday?! LC
I really enjoyed the holiday, many thanks. FR
I wanted to say thanks again for another truly wonderful holiday - I think in fact this was the best one yet! The yoga was fabulous, I almost felt like I had a bit of an epiphany and suddenly it doesn't seem like a chore to find time to fit it in to my daily routine, I really can't imagine not doing self practice daily now, what a turn around. SL
I just want to thank you for the wonderful yoga lessons. I realized that I always had way too much tension in my body during practice. Learned how to relax, how to warm up the body. I actually practice every day after the the yoga week. I wake up now with less tension in my back. And of course I also want to thank you for the jam sessions at the finca. It was SO much fun! LDJ
I have had ‘a moment’ and I am now Buddha’s brother! CB
Just wanted to say a massive thank you for a wonderful yoga retreat,
have already been practicing my bioenergetics! Mum has come to stay
and is suffering from sciatica, so am sharing your warm up
exercises with her... AW
I really enjoyed the weeks on that island. I also enjoyed the yoga, (even though I would have liked a little more progress... And philosophical discussions!.) CH
[point taken; I agree! I will see to it for the next trip! Angus]
Thank you so much. I can honestly say that I have never felt so relaxed and rejuvenated as I do now. I thoroughly enjoyed the weekend, meeting & getting to know so many lovely people and am considering making Braziers a regular fixture in my calender! Mille H
Thank you for including me in such a special weekend - you and Nadia are so giving, sharing your family and great friends with new ones and I am very grateful. It was really fun and I have felt totally chilled since then. Suki Allday
Thank you you two for an incredibly special weekend. Highlights for me where, the silent walk, had a big moment in the woods, where the trees basically came alive and they still look different to me now, everywhere! The silent class, incredibly beautiful (or is that just Nadia!), that was pretty special, the bonfire... and meeting your wonderful friends. Emma T
Matt and I just wanted to say THANK YOU for the beautiful weekend, very calming and grounding. We really enjoyed yoga, the meditation and the atmosphere and overall the people that were there. Analise P
What beautiful pictures! Thanks to both of you, the weekend was truly fabulous! I'll be back next time for sure!! Bonnie S
Thank you both for hosting a very special weekend with some fabulous yoga! I'm pretty sure it won't be the last one that I attend, the girls are very keen to come along next time, too. Berenice W
My body feels fully stretched and still from the weekend. The head, calm and contemplative from the consciousness conversations. Deep loving thanks to you! Kathini C
It was such a perfect weekend. Thank you oh so very much. Mel W
I don't know what's in the air in Braziers but I'm still on a high from the weekend! Thank you so much for
preparing such a special weekend. Or maybe it's not just the air from that special place but a cumulative combination
of our wonderful week in the Azores, the bio energetics, the meditation, the yoga that is having this effect on me. Whatever it is, I love it! Margaret.G.
Thank you for an absolutely brilliant weekend, my favourite ever time at Braziers. It was perfect. Nina J
Thank you for such a great weekend gone by. Your wonderful teaching and insights, for reminding me to breathe and let go, for the introduction to bioenergetics and for being sooo friendly and welcoming. You have a lovely bunch of yogis down there in the south and Angus, a great talent for conveying raja yoga. Lou S
Wow - my spine feels 6 inches longer! What a fab w/end. Another Ford-Robertson triumph!! I had a great time Angus - you really give so much to your students during these w/ends/holidays. And I loved Braziers…. the whole environment, as well as the finest choc chip cookies I've ever munched on! Thank you & see you soon! JK
A huge thank you for organising a fantastic weekend. It was really good of you to include me and I thoroughly enjoyed meeting everyone; they were such easy company. It is great to know some of my fellow yogis when I come to Chatham. I really enjoyed the yoga as well and loved Braziers so thank you. AMacK
Just to say thank you so much for the weekend, thoroughly enjoyed myself! Great group of people, great food, oh and the yoga wasn't bad either! MW
Huge thank you for a very special weekend. My body and spirit feel stretched (though evidently spirit could do with a bit more work!) JL
Magical weekend. A big thank you to you and Nadia. RC
It was a great weekend so thank you to you both. I have felt very thoughtful today though - can't quite put my finger on why but I think it’s a good thing! KB
Thanks Angus. The weekend was fantastic. The yoga was great, the people were all lovely and it was great just to take time out to chill, chat and think about the bigger picture. You’ve really fired me up to keep going with my yoga so I’ll be trying out more classes up here & I can’t wait for your CD. Definitely up for another yoga holiday this year so I’ll keep in touch. EMcD
Thanks for what was one of the best holidays we’ve ever had. As you know, I was faintly dreading the whole thing, partly because I’d never got much out of yoga other than a vague feeling of personal inadequacy, but also because, on the whole, I’d rather not go on holiday full stop (miserable bastard that I am). But every aspect of the trip was a joy. The people were great, the yoga was, unbelievably, great as well. I’ll never forget that night in the dessert, hanging out under the stars, eating sand, smoking ****, listening to Monica’s story ... None of it would have worked without your warmth and charisma. I honestly don’t know if I’ll continue with yoga, but there’s at least a good chance I will. God I never thought I’d come out with a sentence like that! TMcG

"I had a brilliant weekend. Although I didn’t know what to expect it fulfilled all of my expectations! I really enjoyed the yoga, especially the different types of classes, and learnt a lot about the whole process. It was very educational and enlightening. I also feel as though I progressed, although my shoulders are telling me differently at the moment...Braziers has a charm and a calmness which fitted the mood exactly. The food was delicious and the group was great company. Thank you for making me feel so welcome – I didn’t feel awkward in the slightest thanks to both of you being so warm." LK
'Just wanted to say how much I loved the weekend - have been raving about it to all and sundry ever since - and my Mum was so intrigued that I managed to persuade her to join my Monday night class the following day...' Huge thank you to you and Nadia for making me feel so welcome and for the great classes... I finally mastered breathing in the Plough so all the practice must have made a huge difference!' SL
"What a great week. Just the right mix of yoga, gin and tonics, healthy debate, chilling out and (winning at) backgammon - my mind and body felt very rested. I love having the time and space to get deeper into my practice and was delighted to have mastered the head stand!" KB
"This is a great yoga holiday and I thoroughly recommend it. A beautiful and tranquil setting, indepth and reinvigorating yoga classes in a beautiful studio (mountains at the back and sea at the front), attentive hotel staff looking after your every step, guaranteed sunshine, cool trips to mount sinai, dessert dinner under the stars, scuba diving, etc. It's a no-brainer! To borrow a phrase from nike, 'just do it'! Om shanti" RR
"The food, the integrity of the yoga, the atmosphere, the chanting, the peace and quiet... all great. I had a brilliant and restorative time." FA
"Great food, felt terribly healthy and wholesome, I didn’t think about chocolate once." SD
"Laura and Fin were fabulous. Highs were the chanting, the silent walk followed by yoga - lovely combo, the squash soup and apple crumble and custard, Katrina's plate exploding, sharing with Serena and late night chats, tree hugging (yes, can't believe I'm saying that) and of course, your classes." NJ
"Unreal. The most beautiful place i have ever stayed! And the yoga was a whole new journey. (makes me wonder what i was doing before.)" TB
"I will definitely go back, though i'm worried in case its not as magical the second time around!" PM
