Testimonials

Testimonial by Lindsey Honour

I started zoom yoga with Hayley at the beginning of (the first) lockdown and I’m so grateful for the time I’ve spent with her and a lovely group of people on the mat since! Hayley puts so much thought and energy into her classes, shaping them around a different theme each week, sharing inspiring thoughts and ideas, introducing us to new practises, and always bringing the fun and positive vibes – and that’s on top of all the amazing benefits of yoga which I’ve only properly understood through her teaching. I feel happy and calm in body and spirit after every class – would recommend to anyone who wants to fell the same! Thank you Hayley!

Testimonial by Laura Aiken

Beautiful, nurturing and restorative. Hill Farm has a wonderful grounding energy and is a wonderful place to stay. I love staying here and have held two retreats here and always get fantastic reviews from my guests. Hayley and Tom are fantastic hosts and I’ll be back for many years to come

Testimonial by Geoff

I have just come back from a yoga and well-being retreat and it was fantastic. The farm is idyllic, and only about 45 minutes from Bristol on a good run. Hayley is a wonderful yoga teacher, technically skilled but very kind and helpful, while Tom's Forest Bathing sessions are a really enlightening experience. The food is fantastic too, and they are the perfect hosts. The only bad thing about the retreat was having to leave on the Sunday!

Testimonial by Melaine

My visit to Hill Farm couldn’t have come at a better time. I arrived feeling slightly frazzled and very tired and left feeling calm and energised to continue doing my job and caring for my family AND myself. Highly recommended!
