I have been to several of Patricia's classes and her calm tone and voice are more than enough to make you relax. She puts you at ease immediately and helps you if you aren't quite in the right position by gentley guiding you. We have a guide to direct us on how to produce the moves at home so we can continue to practice outside of the weekly sessions.I really recommend a try..
Thank you again for the lovely course - I was very impressed by the preparation and thought put into the course. I particularly enjoyed the walking meditation and loved the thoughtful presents and treats during the breaks. I also took the handouts with me to Russia and reviewed them between meetings! Thank you very much.
A big thank you to Patricia for the lovely and very informative workshop today on stress, its effects and potentially dangerous consequences and how to relax..time just went too quickly and 3 hours felt like ten minutes...also thanks for the goody bag, and the lovely touches like the fruit, water and.....the wine... in the end truly relaxed! (The last is a joke!)
My husband and I attended the How to Relax course, having already heard great things about Patricia. Patricia certainly lived up to our expectations, delivering a wonderfully relaxing and extremely informative introduction to breathing, yoga and meditation. She proved to be a wealth of knowledge in relation to the biological affects of stress, presenting the sciencey information very eloquently so that it was very easy to follow and understand. She helped me understand the direct physical affects that stress can have on our bodies and explained methods of counteracting this. I would definitely recommend this course to anyone interested in learning about the affects of stress and how to bring some peace and calm into our frenetic daily lives.
Am loving all these good vibes floating around........... Feel the luuurv, feel the LURVVVVVVVVVE!
Just for the anecdote, my face as never looked so healthy, I have a nice tan and not a blemish at the moment. Hope it’ll last until the end of July for the photo reunion.
We are both really missing Morocco and all of you, it was SUCH a great holiday – really relaxing and so much fun due to such a fantastic bunch of people, really precious memories we will keep forever. When I’ve started to feel stressed all I’ve had to do is picture myself up on that roof looking out at the sea with all of you and I instantly feel calm and happy.
Im also having yoga withdrawals! Well more like I wish I was back at the villa, as opposed to at work doing crazing hours :( Words cannot describe fully how much I enjoyed our week together. I feel blessed that I was able to meet you all and share memorable moments with you all! Needless to say these memories will stay with me for a very long time.
Having recounted just a few of the great things that happened during the last week to a work friend has brought a huge smile to my lips.... so when things look a little dull over the next days and weeks I suggest you try the same.
I left the Blissful Bodies retreat in Morocco recharged, revitalised and looking forward to the next one! Great food, company and most importantly yoga! I feel like a new person!
I went on my first yoga retreat with Blissful Bodies in Morocco not knowing what to expect, would it be all yoga gurus and terribly serious? How pleasantly surprised I was to find that everyone was very friendly, no one was a yoga guru, there was wine and chocolate and lots of lovely meals. Nearly two weeks since getting back to the UK I'm still feeling the benefits of a wonderful yoga break with some very special people
Thank you both for an incredibly special week. A beautiful place full of wonderful people (and food!), the pace of the yoga was ideally designed to induce complete relaxation and we felt completely recharged by the time it came to go home.Great to be able to choose between doing absolutely nothing or participating with something more exciting such as surfing or camel rides if we felt like it, the visit to the Souk at Essaouira was a highlight and we have also made some fantastic friends. Thank you so much.
Patricia is a truly unique yoga teacher. Her energy, vitality and frankness is a magical combination that instantly puts her clients at ease.I attended Patricia’s ‘Yoga for Weight Loss’ course recently and left inspired and motivated. She handled a tricky subject brilliantly by tackling it head on and sharing her own experiences honestly. I am still carrying the workshop learnings with me in my daily life. Patricia demystifies yoga and makes it approachable for everyone. I am already looking forward to my next yoga course with Patricia. I can highly recommend her to anyone looking to work with a yoga instructor, whether novice or advanced.
Dear Patricia,Thank you so much for helping me relax and stretch all my stress away in your wonderful yoga classes. They are the perfect antidote to a busy London life. I feel not only more relaxed but stronger and revitalised every time I come out. Your gentle manner makes following your instructions effortless and it’s one of the highlights of my week. I feel like a new man!

I attended Patricia's taster Yoga session on Sunday, 7th June, 2009 and have to say it was a wonderful way to spend 90 minutes away from the hustle and bustle of family/work life. Patricia has a fantastic way of explaining all the moves and made me feel very relaxed despite the fact that I am totally inflexible and clearly struggled with many of the moves. I would have no hesitation in recommending her to anyone, young or old, as a way of relieving the stresses of daily living.
Just a quick note to thank you for your fantastic session last month.As you know this was my first experience at Yoga and the fact that nodded off in the final relaxation part of the session showed how 'relaxed' I became!I would definitely have another session and would recommend Yoga and your superb teaching techniques without a doubt
It maybe that Yoga classes have been out there waiting for you to find - they can relieve your levels of stress, remove the tensions you might be experiencing, or help reduce physical or mental strain. Above all it can give you skills so you gain the ability to control your life when needed. What a way to start the New Year with such tools! When I took my first tentative steps into the delightful Opera school for my first Yoga class I was concerned I would be far and away the oldest and far to stiff to do the Beginners Class. Yes I was the oldest (and still am) but from that first lesson I was hooked. Patricia makes you feel welcome whatever your age or abilities she is a consummate teacher and knows when a spot of humour can push our bodies a little bit more. Above all she is there for each and every one of her pupils. I noted a young man asking her advice and when we left later he said “Wow Patricia is really great, I thought I would be the only male here but it’s good to see I’m not and do you know she has really helped me”So what is this help called ‘Yoga’ she can give to you? Well in my case I had got though life by not breathing properly (far too shallowly). So I plucked up courage and asked for a couple of private lessons. What a difference they made! Patricia has the ability to tune into people and those lessons where the best investment I made last year. The Beginners Yoga classes to me are more than getting my body into shape and fitness. But this is about you? You only have one body and one life. Do make the effort to find out more about Patricia and the Yoga Siromani classes. Why not go one step further and enrol for a term. If you come to the beginner’s class on Thursday evenings I will be there with a smile on my face.
Patricia runs her group yoga classes from one of Wandsworth’s secret cathedrals of space and light – the National Opera rehearsal studios. If you had a magic wand you couldn’t invent a better place. As for the classes, Patricia is the Maggie Thatcher of breathing and movement – you don’t dare do anything but empty your thoughts and relax as hard as you can. And after 90 minutes you come away glowing and moving the bits you hadn’t visited more than once or twice since the turn of the century, which is very good stuff for men who have reached their aching-bits years. In other words, why be stiff when you can be bendy? If I was a GP I’d write prescriptions to Patricia’s classes. Really, I would!
I used to love going to yoga but when my teacher moved out of London I gave up because I just couldn’t find another teacher near to where I lived with whom I could ‘connect’ in quite the same way – until I met Patricia. There are lots of yoga teachers but being able to impart your knowledge takes real skill and Patricia has that special skill in abundance. I have just completed my first 10 week course and I can’t wait for the next 10 week course to start. Not having practised yoga for many years I was very nervous about restarting and embarrassing myself in front of strangers but I had nothing to worry about. Patricia knows instinctively how far she can push her pupils and never gets them to try anything before they are ready. Her classes are an oasis of calm in a beautiful environment and her warm welcoming smile and gentle voice put you immediately at ease and within minutes the stresses and strains of the day start to flow away. Once again, thanks to Patricia, I am hooked!
Your class really helped me when I injured my back in a fall. I had only done a little yoga but it made a huge difference to me what I had learned about breathing and relaxing the muscles
Just to let you know we had a baby boy born last Wednesday pm weighing 7lb5oz. Unfortunately it wasn’t the natural birth I had wanted – my waters broke in the middle of the night and had meconium in so was strapped to a foetal monitor in hospital and was unable to move for the first few hours! Luckily during that time the breathing exercises you taught really helped me get through the pain which had started pretty quickly. Due to a few more complications the hospital thought it was best to do an emergency c –section so he could be delivered safely!! Anyway, he is here, I am well and have healed quickly and I am totally in love with him! Hope all is well and thank you for all the yoga lessons running up to having him – I am sure it helped me through it all
Many thanks again for all your care and concern during our 1-2-1 sessions together. It was great working with you, you inspire confidence, and make me feel I can improve and progress. I have also lost over a stone in the time we have been working together and am really beginning to understand what you said in the first class about change coming from a place of acceptance and love of who and where we are now. I intend to keep up my daily practice and will be telling all my friends about you. Thank you.
Dear Patricia, Happy news… next day my waters broke and I gave birth to my beautiful daughter and I did it all on gas and air and the Golden Thread Breath!! That one private session did wonders, I can’t rave about it enough and I am going to tell all my friends so you should be getting loads of calls!
Dear Patricia, Things that have struck me about your (Beginners 1) classes are:-• Lovely gentle pace, and desire not to make people feel inadequate if they find a particular movement difficult• Weekly introduction to some new exercises but also a lot of consolidation of what has been covered in earlier weeks• Lovely smell of incense on arrival - helps to get you in the mood for yoga after a busy day!• You have a particularly sweet and melodic voice which is easy on the ear – and is of itself very calming to listen to• You provide enough challenge to make one feel as if progress is being made – but are careful to remove any element of competitiveness from the situation• A particularly good class for people who wish to learn about yoga, and increase their flexibility, but who don’t want to feel pushed hard into a new learning curve• Your passion for yoga is infectious!• You want people to ENJOY yoga and get pleasure from it Thank you very much for the gift of an inspiring introduction to yoga. Learning about it, and the increased flexibility its given me has been a high point in my year.
I have been attending the Yoga classes for some years now under the same teacher, Patricia. I have benefited so much from the way she teaches, in her calm, intelligent approach to each of her students whether the class is a small group or a large group and I can and will recommend anyone to come and join. I am now more relaxed, calmer and a more flexible person, so what are you waiting for come and join us.
Patricia is a fantastic yoga teacher. She's relaxing, encouraging and informative and always makes you feel like you've achieved something by the end f the class. I've come to regard my time at Yoga Siromani as some of the only 'me' time that I get!"
After trying a few different yoga types and never sticking at it, I have now been attending yoga with Patricia for over a year, and absolutely love it. It’s both challenging and fun and the small groups really mean you can develop and improve.
. Well, I have personally recommended you to several people in the area, as I think you are a very good teacher, your approach to helping people is fantastic, having had a few classes in the past where corrections have been shouted from the front of the room, it made a pleasant change to have you come and gently guide us quietly into the correct position! The classes were all challenging and relaxing and with new poses to learn each week it made the time fly by.
