"Thank you Filomena!
I had the heart enriching opportunity to spend a week with you and your nurturing morning yoga practice! The guidance yet space to practice and grow is a special gift you bring that I haven't come across in my practice to date! So again thank you sister look forward to seeing you on the mat again ♥

From one of our recent clients, Fiona Koch on the 7 Chakra Cleansing Retreat 2013 with...a beautiful thankyou♥

Thank you for the care and thoughtfulness you had for all of us during the time we spent with you and Filomena. Personally I thought the tour was very professional, well explained and very well planned and thought out while being relaxing and not too regimented. Perfect for me. The experiences were balanced and varied. I found the journey transforming, enlightening and enjoyable. Something I will always cherish. A lot of questions I was thinking about were answered and I feel a lot more content and appreciate things a lot more. I feel a sense of gratitude. Thank you for your wisdom and guidance. Something I will never forget. You and Filomena are truly inspirational teachers. Thank you again. Best Wishes, Fiona.

Hi Filomena. Just read your work on the chakras. http://lovelivingyoga.com/seven-chakras Great findings.. Been looking so much and found so little, and felt a little frustrated when I know there's more to it, until I read your work! Must have been led by your own experiences and years of observations on others as well. Gratitude and Love for your Generous Offerings. Looking forward to seeing you soon in Melaka.. Take Care and God Bless

Thanks for your Feedback Linda, Experiential, dedication and meditative practice is always the way to come to know your subject well..as it should be with yoga philosophy so it should be with life.. This is how the ancient Rishis were able to tap into the subtle bodies and experience the chakras energy patterns, it's colours and symbols..Yantras. Filomena

When I joined my first class with you I had a deep experience and learned valuable tools in my breathing technique that I still apply today. You are a true Yogi with deep knowledge, a caring personality with excellent communication which makes you a great teacher. Thank you for enriching my life.

Thank you again for your time observing the class and sending through your report. As it was you that first inspired me to explore yoga deeper, I truly thank you for introducing me to such a powerful practice and way of life. The imparting of knowledge and guidance from you has been one of the most valuable gifts I have received. Namaste with love, Vicky ..........student and teacher of yoga

Thanks for the yoga and deep knowledge that you shared with us, You gave us an insight into yoga that we were not aware of. Hope we get the opportunity to come and share it with you again. Regards, Emma and Joel

Perfect! Have stayed several times and already planning my return. Peaceful relaxing and tranquil with all the touches of luxury and that bit of franckshui love. The only downside was having to leave.
I will be back!!

Thank you for providing such a beautiful retreat. i truly had an amazing escape from the hussle and bustle of sydney and felt so comfortable and relaxed in the amazing surroundings that you have created- amazing architecture, stunning pool, luscious gardens, and all the fancy trimmings one loves at a beach retreat. I am looking forward to returning in the near future.
