"A really enjoyable Vinyasa class with a relaxing yet energetic flow. Eftal was so welcoming and really helped work individual needs and goals. I'll definitely be coming back regularly!"
"Effie is so engaging. I felt connected right from the start. The workout was at the perfect pace and level for a workout and a relaxation ending. Tucked away in Mortlake on a quiet street. Highly recommend!"
"Effie’s Vinyasa Flow class has been a medicine for my soul."
"My friend recommended Effie's class to me and now I recommend it to all my friends for the great benefits for mum-to be and her unborn baby."
"Postnatal Baby & Me Yoga with Effie allowed me to regain confidence about starting to gently exercise after the birth of my first baby. The classes enable great mum and baby bonding while also giving the mums some "me" time. Effie is sensitive to your needs, wonderful with the babies and I can't recommend the class highly enough. My baby is now four months and giggles when we practise the yoga and songs at home."
"This (Vinyasa Flow Yoga) is really the most enjoyable and highest quality yoga class and teacher I have found in London. Effie is a fantastic teacher, most knowledgeable, enthusiastic and kind. She embodies the essence of what she teaches in her classes and I find that I feel much less stressed and re-energised after each session that I visit."
"Effie's pregnancy yoga class fast became the highlight of my week. Entering the class feeling heavy, often achy and uncomfortable, Effie’s positive energy and warmth always ensured I left feeling both mentally and physically lighter! No two classes were ever the same. Alongside the support and words of wisdom was always a great variety of poses, stretches, breathing exercises and tips for labour and beyond."
"During pregnancy, my favorite part of the week was yoga with Effie. As a yoga newbie, I felt very welcome to the group, relaxed and found a new love for yoga. Effie's classes are engaging, relaxed and fun. I now attend the post-natal classes with my 11-week-old baby and she loves the class just as much as I do. I am certain my baby remembers Effie's voice whilst I was pregnant as she is mesmerized and so chilled out in the classes. I wish I could have Effie's voice on a CD to play to my little one during nap time. One of the best classes I have signed up to whilst on maternity leave, I look forward to it every week."
"Effie is a very friendly and caring yoga teacher. I have very much enjoyed her ante-natal yoga classes. She tailors certain moves for you depending on your requirements and her calm and soft voice lulls you into a very relaxing state during restorative yoga. A lovely lady - thank you!"
"Effie’s mum and baby yoga is more than a class, it's a place to socialise, relax and receive support. Always on hand to entertain and quieten the babies, Effie has an amazing ability to balance the needs of both mum and baby. Her classes offer an opportunity to do some much needed yoga - stretching out those postnatal aches and managing to grab a moment of peace amongst the never ending demands of motherhood – as well as a chance to bond with your baby through massage, songs and yoga poses. It's a great space to bond with your baby and grab some relaxation. I’m not sure who loved it more, me or my baby!"
"Having Reiki with Effie is nurturing for the body and mind. She creates a beautifully peaceful environment where I feel safe and relaxed. Her treatments has helped alleviating my aches and pains and brought clarity to my mind."
"I would thoroughly recommend both the pregnancy yoga and mum+baby yoga run by the fabulous Effie. I started pregnancy yoga at 33 weeks of pregnancy and found it so useful to relax me, stretch those parts of my body that felt tight but also the breathing techniques were very useful during labour! I have since joined mum+baby yoga with my son (started when he was 7 weeks old). I swear he realizes Effie’s voice from my pregnancy yoga as he’s always so chilled out. Yoga is great to help restore my body post birth but also done in such a lovely and relaxing environment.I will certainly be signing up for further courses and very much recommend them especially Effie as the teacher. Thanks”
"Just what I needed to take some time out for my body and mind with the peace of knowing that my baby was safe and also enjoying the experience. Thank you Eftal..."
"A brilliant energising positive flow. Effie is a hero and really helps you with individual goals and achieving your very best. The best in the area!"
"The most wonderful pregnancy yoga class you will come across in South West London. Effie is a very supportive and knowledgeable teacher that gives attention to everyone in the class. I started coming when I was about 28 weeks and continued.. soon giving birth! I wish you discover these classes and embark on this journey with your baby."
