Truly Life Enhancing

Life Retreat Wellness is where I completed my YTTC.

Since completion, I have been working aboard a yacht and though I have not been teaching yoga, the practice and principles I learned have helped me in elevating my personal experience and finding balance at sea.

A heartfelt thank you to Trish & the Team for all their hard work and dedication.

I highly recommend Life Retreat Wellness to everyone!

Truly life-enhancing!

This experience will stay with me always.

I want to express my deepest gratitude to Trish Taylor and the entire team at Life Retreat Studio for the incredible support and guidance I received during my yoga teacher training.

This journey was deeply transformative, not just physically and mentally, but emotionally and spiritually as well—especially as I was going through one of the most difficult periods of my life. Trish’s unwavering kindness, compassion, and encouragement carried me through moments when I wasn’t sure I could continue. Her ability to hold space with such grace and genuine care made all the difference.

If it weren’t for Trish’s heart-centered support, I honestly don’t think I would have been able to complete the training.

Thank you, Trish, for believing in me and for creating such a nurturing and transformative learning environment. This experience will stay with me always.

With love and gratitude,

A Game Changer in My TRE Practice

Integrating Yoga Teacher Training into my TRE practice has been a powerful and natural progression.
The training at Life Retreat deepened my understanding of the body-mind connection and gave me the tools to guide clients through gentle movement and breath awareness alongside their tremoring process.
It has enhanced the way I hold space for trauma release, making my sessions more grounding and restorative. This training was a game-changer for both my professional growth and the healing journey of my clients.

Yoga Training Added Immense Value to my Physiotherapy Practice

Completing my Yoga Teacher Training with Life Retreat has added immense value to my physiotherapy practice.

I now integrate yoga principles and postures into my rehab programmes, offering clients a more holistic and mindful recovery process.

The course was comprehensive, evidence-informed, and perfectly aligned with my professional values. It’s expanded both my services and my client base.

My clients love the holistic approach, and it’s helped me stand out in a competitive industry. The training was supportive, flexible, and truly transformational.
