Caitlin Casey was great to work with. I outlined my goals; to improve understanding and use of breath and active stretch for body refreshment. Timely effective class structure was also a goal.

Caitlin interpreted these well and delivered energetic, powerful yoga classes that tested and improved all who attended. A number of the athletes have asked to continue with Caitlin in their own time. This is absolute testament to the quality of her teaching.

Thank you Caitlin for your professionalism and energy; I can't wait for the new year when we can start again.

I have tried many yoga classes over the years but Caitlin's method just sings to me. So much happens in that hour and a half. From the moment I walk into the warm welcoming environment to the moment I leave blissed, energised, still and open. I am taken on a wonderful, ever changing and inviting journey of self exploration. Caitlin teaches with pure love and devotion and has an amazing way of subtlety expanding my awareness with each and every class I attend. My body feels honoured and enlivened, I am addicted to yoga thanks to Caitlin.

Talofa lava,

I have the pleasure of being a student of Caitlin's Yoga classes. Caitlin's classes has provided a balance to my busy lifestyle where I hold the roles as a

- manager in a community mental health team

- a command role in the NZ Army

-  student

- and most important a partner and husband

I acknowledge that a healthy holistic balance is essential, however I wish to do more than just maintain the status quo, I want to be productive and present in each role. Caitlin's classes provide an environment from which I can be responsive and present in each of the above mentioned roles, whilst also ensuring I maintain a relationship with my self, so as not to be lost within the overwhelming potential of life. Her classes are challenging and full, her teaching style engaging and fun. I encourage everyone to try her classes. 

A wonderful and inspiring lady, Thank you Caitlin.

RETREAT PARTICIPANTS 

Hi Caitlin

Thanks for today's incredibly special programme at Aio Wira. It was great to connect with you again. Your special gift was extraordinary. I have never received a gift like that before. Look forward to sharing time with you again soon.

Love Roslyn

Thank you Caitlin - for so much! - for your lovely words to us both, but mostly for bringing your own beautiful soul to nurture and nourish in such generous and heartfelt ways. You make discipline a treat! And especially thank you for the care you give me when I am struggling with physical challenges, you are always so accepting and accomodating. You are a real gift.

With metta and blessings from us both

I participated in the Aio Wira retreat at the weekend and would like to say a big heartfelt "Thank you" for a wonderful experience. I loved every moment of the retreat and would have been happy for it to go on and on and on.....

Upon arriving home on Saturday night my flatmate commented on how gorgeous and clear my skin was - and that was without even a lick of makeup.  So clearly a few of my granthi's may have been unblocked!

Warmest regards,

Gael

I wanted to say a big THANKS for the last retreat you have organized. It was an amazing journey. The place you have chosen is so far from everything, Tui's singing in the trees, such solitude. I must admit I didn't know how well would I cope with long hours sitting and meditating. It surprised me then that the time didn't really exist anymore and it was absolutely fantastic to sink a bit more in myself and listen to your guiding voice.

Our times are very fast and there seems to be less opportunities for us to switch off and relax and really focus on what is really important. Your retreat gave me that and much more. I couldn't thank you enough and I am looking forward to attend your next guided meditation!

For me this weekend has been a turning point: I now fully realize the vital importance in maintaining a balance between body, mind and soul. Dr Pooja Maddela's knowledge and wisdom not only gave me further insights but also inspired me to continue learning about this ancient holistic practice.

Annika

You did a wonderful job of holding the energy for the group for the weekend and you and Pooja are a great team. Your authenticity and passion for yoga has inspired me to start my practice again.

Jackie

 It was a pleasure to be there and yourself and Dr Pooja delivered exactly what I needed in the most welcoming way. Thank you

Namaste,

David
