TESTIMONIALS
“I’ve been doing yoga with Marc for 4 years now, and I feel so much better for it.
I had problems with my back for a long time, and had to have physiotherapy fairly regularly, but since I started the yoga, I haven’t needed physio at all, and I’m pretty well pain free.
The relaxation is great, and I feel I move better in my every day life as well.
I do the classes online, and enjoy them. We are never pressured into doing anything we find uncomfortable or painful, and Marc always has other options if necessary, based on the individual. The only compulsory thing is breathing!”
“Practising yoga with Marc has been a revelation. After years of failed attempts to enjoy yoga, his guidance has proved to be an eye opener into the possibilities and benefits that yoga can offer.
Without exception, each class is friendly, welcoming and accessible, irrespective of ability or physical limitations, and Marc is able to adapt every element to suit each attendee.
Working on my breathing has been invaluable, as have the improvements to my posture, movement and pain control - both my physical and mental health have benefited immeasurably.
Despite the challenges of working via zoom, Marc has continued to provide the most fantastic yoga practices for everyone.
Yoga has become an integral part of my daily routine - thank you Marc.”
“Yoga with Marc is so much more than just perfecting yoga positions.
In the last 18 months I have learned how to work with my body and my breath to improve my posture and the way I move. This has helped my yoga, my mind and also my cycling.
I’ve discovered muscles in my legs I never knew I had, and combined with a better posture on the bike, I have achieved cycling goals I could never have imagined five years ago.
Thank you for helping me conquer my mountains.”

“As a beginner stepping into Yoga was a new concept in physical well being for me. Having been very fit and active all my life, it seemed the perfect solution to try out Yoga. The outcome as I enter my third year with Marc at Phoenix Yoga, has been exceptional.
The type of sessions available and the choice of times I can attend fit well into my lifestyle here in France. As important has been the sympathetic and caring approach by Marc, which has enabled me to relax and benefit from the exercises. Marc’s expertise, refreshing approach and encouragement has kept me on track through some difficult times.
I continue to encourage my friends to try Yoga and happily recommend Phoenix yoga.”
“I find the Phoenix yoga practice to be a great balance between body and mind and really is an antidote to the stress and strain of modern life. It helps with awareness, ‘de-crunching’ and relaxation.
The online classes with Marc work really well, always friendly and able to adjust the class for different needs.
The members area is also a great resource with different practices you can do in your own time.”
“If you want leotards, headbands and yoga posing then Phoenix Yoga is not for you.
Instead, you’ll get Marc.....a friendly, approachable and immensely knowledgeable teacher whose practices are well planned and varied. Mixed with his unique sense of humour (and the occasional visit from Brock his rescue buddy) he keeps his clients engaged to enable them achieve fitness and strength, in a relaxed atmosphere.
I have attended Marc’s practices for almost 4 years and the technique keeps me fit and agile....even though i’m well over 60.
Give it a try and enjoy the benefits of a well taught yoga practice!”
“You have been a huge help to me, especially during my recovery from back pain. You gave me the confidence to believe that I could and would move normally again.”
“I practice yoga because it has become a way of life, enabling me to calm my mind, lift my mood, increase my strength and mobility, and it encourages me to move in a safer, more efficient way. The classes have allowed me to improve my asthma and control my pain levels, and with my improved balance, helps prevent falls.
Marc’s classes are all inclusive, one hundred percent non judgemental, and without fail, he manages to tailor each one to help every attendee, with humour and patience.
The classes are not pressured, or competitive, and he encourages each of us to remember that although he is our guide, it is our practice.
Marc enables me to enjoy yoga, at my pace, despite my physical limitations, even on days when I am tired or my mind is elsewhere - I never fail to feel better after a yoga practice.
Having a flexible timetable allows me to join a class when I need a guided practice, which gives me the confidence on the mat when practising on my own.
Thanks Marc”
“The physio is impressed by my range of back movement. I’ve told her “It’s Phoenix Yoga” and I’ll continue to recommend you to one and all!”
