“My retreat with Nova was absolutely fantastic. It was a nice break away in the countryside in a great location. The food we had was filling, so tasty and vegan which is a plus. There was a great variety of classes with enough break time to relax in between if needed. Nova is a great teacher and I would recommend her retreat/teaching”

Thank you Nova!
An inspirational, thought provoking, heart warming weekend.
Loved the cup cakes and you made me smile
(I was standing on my head of course!)
I’m sure our paths will cross again.
Much love

“Nova is one of those rare, very ‘real’ human beings, which along with her calm and meaningful teaching style…make her a truly inspirational yoga teacher. Having practiced Yin yoga with her for a few months, I decided to join her yoga retreat in the French Alps in December and have to say it was one of the most wonderful weeks I’ve ever had. Great food, fun and inspiring yoga and deep meditative space, Just Perfect! “CS
“Nova and her innovative fun and every time different sequences made me really love yoga. Especially vinyasa flow. It helped me to get through a tough time. And really helped to get into a fit state again. Both, physically and mentally.
My love for yoga then spread into retreats skilfully arranged by Nova & the team. And eventually was encouraged by them to join teachers training course.
Sadly I haven’t completed full 200h course at Affinity TT (teachers training), due to relocation. But I am planning to start again now. As it transforms your life so subtly. And really makes life more fulfilling, calmer, balanced. Improves overall wellbeing, strength and general mood. Nova’s jokes and laid back attitude add perfect component to the mix. It’s one of the best experiences I had while living away from home. Real sense of self and warm friendly vibe. You won’t be disappointed. “MD
“Thank you so much for this weekend it was totally brilliant. Having not been on a retreat for 3 years, I am now wondering why I procrastinated so long! It was inspiring and I feel re-energised. You set such a brilliantly relaxed and informal vibe that everyone was at ease straight away. How you did it with Leo in tow in nothing short of impressive!!
I do hope our paths cross again :)”A
“What a fantastic weekend! Thank you, thank you! It was just what I needed (although I could have just carried on!), and although a total space cadet on Sunday night, came back to Monday feeling so re-energized and inspired!”NP
“LOVED last Sundays class btw. The world needs more of you and that.
Sorted me right out, not to mention my hot partner!
Thank-you for both those things.”SW

Nova is a truly teacher – intelligent, experienced and authentic – she speaks from the heart and draws on her wealth of experience on and off the matt to bring ideas to life. The CPD workshops I have done with her have been the perfect balance of informative and inspiring.

Had a great CPD day – lovely cosy venue love the Mum/Daughter combo. Aveyda is a fascinating subject and I know we were only able to scrape the surface of Nova’s knowledge in the time we had – thank you

Great and inspiring workshop on Yoga adjustments.
I recommend it to anyone that wants to get a better understanding of the alignment and adjustment of the poses.
Great teacher!
