Testimonials from clients

“At a very difficult period in my life, Rowena taught me pranayama yoga breathing exercises. Although I had tried many things, including counselling and psychotherapy, Rowena’s help made the biggest difference in improving my mental health. By practicing breathing once or twice a day, and especially when my anxiety and stress levels peak, I can ground myself with mindfulness and bring calm to my state of mind. Rowena’s calm demeanor, her kindness and her non-judgmental approach will help people with whatever their goal is. Breathwork has been a life saver/changer for me. If you haven’t tried it, I highly recommend you do so, especially with Rowena.” Anon, retired CEO, Hong Kong.

“I was 14 years old when I first had sessions with Rowena. I am now 20 and still remember what she taught me and how seen she made me feel. Back then, I struggled with panic attacks related to school exams. I distinctly remember feeling very comfortable in her presence and releasing a lot of pent-up emotions during her sessions. Thanks to the breathing techniques Rowena taught me, I was able to take my exams comfortably and have control over my anxiety for the first time. Rowena is incredibly kind and understanding and she creates a space where you feel safe enough to pour your heart out to her.” Thalia, university student in UK.

“Yoga and wellness is full of hyperbole and extremes today. Rowena offers a safe haven, a place where you can consistently come back to the mat and learn something new about yourself each day. Together with Rowena you form a partnership of sorts – she is there to guide you to where you need to be, for each day and in each mood and each physical need. I’ve practiced with many teachers but I’ve rarely been able to learn from someone so intuitive and in touch with the energies in the room. Rowena has been extraordinary in taking me step by step from post-natal recovery to a 4 times a week ashtanga practice, while making it feel like a flourishing of myself physically, mentally and emotionally. Her teaching is also built on the deep study of philosophy, breathing and anatomy.” Dominique, CEO and founder of a global firm, Hong Kong.

“I am partially paralysed down one side of my body from a spinal cord injury 20 years ago. Over this time I tried various yoga classes but always gave up, frustrated that I couldn’t access the postures or make progress at the same speed as others. Until that is I started practicing with Rowena. Over a number of private sessions she took the time to develop a practice designed to suit me and help me overcome my physical limitations. I was originally reluctant to join the mysore group but with Rowena’s encouragement I took the plunge and it is without doubt the best thing I have ever done. Rowena cleverly creates a strong sense of community and structures the sessions so that, while our practice develops at our own pace, we have the support and extra motivation from each other to keep improving. Her knowledge of physiology is impressive – I feel safer in her hands than I have with many spinal injury physiotherapists – but it is her focus on yogic philosophy (often neglected elsewhere) that has allowed me to move towards acceptance, to the point where I can happily practice next to a professional dancer without making personal negative comparisons. It is not just her extensive experience over decades that allows Rowena to be so effective buy her natural kindness and intuition that shines through in everything she does.” Abby, Lawyer turned Therapist, Hong Kong.
