What People Are Saying.
It is always comforting to read about other people’s experiences. Below are testimonials from lovely students whom I have had the pleasure to work with.
“Flo is kind, approachable, down-to-earth and I love the variety she offers during her sessions. They challenge me and make me feel nurtured all in one and everyone who works with Flo adores her.”
— Melissa Hemsley, best-selling cookbook author, The Art of Eating Well

“Flo’s classes, whether in person or online, are always a joy. the thing I most love about Flo is that her kindness, thoughtfulness and genuine care for her students always shine through in her teaching. Flo’s classes feel like a hug in yoga form! She is also a really skilled teacher who shares her knowledge and experience with her students effectively, and so I always learn something new each time. I cannot recommend her highly enough, whether you are an experienced yogi, just starting out or somewhere in the middle.”
- Hannah, a ray of sunshine straight from Australia
“Training with Flo is unlike any other yoga journey I have pursued before. Through a year of weekly one-to-one sessions, I felt my body strengthen and my confidence build in ways I hadn’t experienced before. Not to mention all the fun we had exploring a variety of funky poses!
Flo infuses her classes with compassion and a lightheartedness that sings to the soul. During our lessons she would often read an inspiring passage drawing on poetry, musings or the philosophy of yoga that brought perspective to life off the mat. Our classes were such a boost to my progress that as a yogi that friends and family would often ask to join, and on one occasion we even organised a yoga workshop as part of my best friend’s hen weekend celebrations! It was wonderful and left us all feeling lighter and boosted by Flo’s lovely manner.
For anyone looking to explore their true potential beyond what you can expect from London’s top yoga studios, and who is in for some fun and laughs along the way, I couldn’t recommend Flo highly enough!”

"I really look forward to my sessions with Flo. She is an excellent teacher, adapting our sessions depending on my energy levels or what I have been doing at the gym that week; it is the perfect way to stretch out the aftermath of too many squats! She is very encouraging and has a great sense of humour, which she uses to gently coax me to do more than I thought I would when we start the session."
— Ex-Chief Investment Officer, City & incredible woman
"Flo worked with me throughout my pregnancy, from 8 weeks to 40 and adjusted every session to suit my needs, keeping me calm, strong, balanced and wholly prepared for pregnancy and birth. She is a pleasure to work with, her beautiful demeanour and energy ensued that I looked forward to every session, whilst her knowledge and insights meant every question was answered. Thanks for keeping me in such a great place Flo!"
— Alex, Public Relations & fab mama
"Flo brings me a beautiful peace of mind and lightness of heart when I do yoga with her. My yoga practice has deepened in ways I didn't realise it could through my time with her. I adore my sessions. Thank you, Flo."
- Katie, illustrator at whatkatiedrew.com (one very talented woman!)
"I have been lucky enough to do yoga all over the world in some amazing locations but I can still say that Flo is the best teacher I have ever had. The moment she starts to speak at the beginning of a class, I can feel myself starting to relax and prepare for what I know will be a lovely hour. I always find myself stretched and going further than I ever would on my own and it is Flo's warmth, humility and humour that shine through all of her classes that create an inclusive and safe place to explore and play. After some years of being Flo's student, I am now fortunate enough to call her my friend too and she truly embodies the balance, acceptance and philosophies that she speaks about in class. I always come away from any time I spend with her feeling lighter and yet more grounded and peaceful too. Flo is a wise and wonderful teacher and I can't recommend her highly enough!"
- Lorna Clansey-Gramer, Amatsu practitioner at www.lornaclansey.com & dear friend
“Flo has been one of my regular teachers for 10 years. I have joined classes (in groups and one-to-one sessions), workshops retreats, and what keeps me coming back is that her classes are always flowing, varied, fun and inspirational - whatever your level of experience -.”
- Bill, retiree, yogi, trekker, skier & sailor
“Yoga with Flo has become an essential escape from the stress and mental challenges of day to day life. Balancing physically demanding and mentally rewarding aspects, each class is full of vibrant, thoughtful postures and varied flows. Flo always manages to make you smile, no matter the pose. She will encourage you to find the right level of energy unique to you.“
- Kat, Product Manager (with the most gorgeous hair!)
“Flo is an excellent teacher and a genuinely beautiful person. Her warmth, positivity and humility shine through in her classes. She has the ability to pay individual attention to each person’s needs while delivering a balanced and meaningful practice. I absolutely love Flo’s classes not only for the physical aspect but for the many mental benefits they bring. Thank you so much for keeping me all together, Flo! ”
- Louise, wonderful mother of 3
“I have been doing weekly yoga with Flo for over 10 years. Flo is hugely knowledgeable, compassionate and generous in her teachings, and I am so grateful to have her in my life especially during this past year via Zoom (2020). Over the years as I changed, Flo tailored her sessions to meet my needs, adapting poses and routines helping me to recover post-injury and surgery. And all the while she has kept things fresh, fun and both physically and emotionally rewarding. With Flo, there is always something new to learn and I can highly recommend both her group and private classes.”
- Afshan, Chartered Counselling Psychologist
“I have been taking classes with Flo for a few years now and always look forward to her sessions. Her teaching is dynamic and creative as she works with you to build your strength and flexibility. Every class I have taken with her has been different and she always manages to surprise me with a new challenge - an unexpected transition, a variation of an inversion or a new arm balance. Flo is warm, caring, and funny, and her online classes have been a real lifeline throughout lockdown. She encourages you to work hard and to extend your practice, without taking yourself too seriously! .”
- Zoe, Tate Britain Researcher/Scientist (how cool is that?)
“I have practiced yoga for 25 years and in that time, I have tried many different styles and teachers. Flo is frankly one of the best teachers that I have encountered. Flo knows the physical stuff but also the history and philosophy of yoga which she brings into class effortlessly and with sincerity. Meditation and mindful practice are an important and accessible part of Flo’s teaching . I feel calmer, happier, more relaxed and more able to deal with challenges after her classes. I used to work in the City. Flo was an antidote to city office life. In the pandemic and accompanying lockdowns, she has provided equally valuable respite. Flo’s classes are original, thought out and fun, tailored to her students’ needs, abilities and moods. I would strongly recommend trying a “Flo class” wherever you are on your yoga journey.”
- Simon, hospice worker with a heart of gold
“Flo came to teach us [4 long-time friends] yoga after quite a few unsuccessful attempts from other yoga instructors to engage us and keep us focused. Flo has kept us fit and flexible!
She has been standing by us for over 10 years now through life’s adversities and challenges.
Flo is definitely a part of our lives.”
