Love & Gratitude
There are no words to describe Lily, but I'll try... Lily is a beautiful spirit, she literally exudes a glow. She teaches with so much love and wisdom. Her classes are mindful, spiritual, and have just enough challenge. I'm so grateful that Lily was my teacher for my 200YTT. Lily taught me so much but most importantly she taught me the true essence of yoga. I'm so thankful that she is my teacher and has played such a huge part in my path. Thank you Lily!
Lily's presence, guidance, wisdom, kindness and skill surpasses all words. To learn from Lily is to meditate with her, to sit next to her, to be in the sacred, powerful space she creates and holds in her classes. You are not a student in Lily's class, you are a vibrating, interdependent being who is guided safely through the physical asanas, while being completely held and nurtured on a deep, spiritual level.
You will connect with a higher self wisdom in every class, and you will be transformed. I highly recommend studying will Lily, or at least even meeting with her formidable presence at least once in your life! Thank you Lily for being a bright lamp on this path, for embodying the HEART of Yoga, and for sharing so generously your soul and divine wisdom with all you meet!
When I heard Lily speak for the first time, it was obvious that she came from a place of deep love and compassion.
Lily is deeply dedicated to living her truth and this is conveyed through her teachings which offer integrity, authenticity and unwavering support and guidance.
What I appreciated the most from Lily's course was that she maintained a balance between the old ways, the origins of Yoga, the ritual behind it and the modern day requirements of a recognised course.
Her generosity was very moving also. I felt that everything she did during the time we were there was for us, her students. Watching Lily move with such grace and love allowed me to begin softening myself. It has made me a better teacher and person.
My only issue has been that I can't attend her classes regularly. But I always have the lessons and teachings. <3
Lily is an absolute joy to be around, let alone be a student of. An enigmatic, blissful being. No matter what asana, pranayama or meditation technique she's teaching, Lily always finds a way to communicate the essence of Yoga first, which is Self-Realization. Lily stresses the importance of Yoga as different ways working together to help lift the illusion of separation between us and the Universe.
Lily teaches by simply being herSelf, and is able to so easily because she really and truly lives Yoga. From her asana classes, you learn that you don't have to drastically push your physical limits in order to become more whole, and that you already are whole!
