As for the experience:
“I’d never done a yoga course before and didn’t know quite what to
expect. I’d spend the previous week with my girlfriend on a very
un-touristy island called Kea and had a week to kill travelling on my
own. I did an internet search on yoga in Greece, and took a
chance on http://www.yoga-paros.com/. I wasn’t
disappointed. We did 2.5 hours of yoga every morning and 1.5
hours every other afternoon, and I felt fantastic after each session.
Oona was a great teacher who had an ability to encourage a novice
like me while bringing on experienced “yogis” – three of the class of
eight had been on several courses with Oona both in Paros and in
Amsterdam. Oona also found a lovely and very reasonable place for
me to stay right by a beautiful beach and also encouraged a team spirit
on the part of the group who went out together a fair bit outside of
the course. After the trip I was inspired to do further yoga both
in the UK and in India and Oona advised me on different places, because
she loves yoga and loves helping people. In short, I couldn’t
recommend Oona and her course more highly”
Best regards,

I
did a yoga course in the village where I live in the winter-and I
really can tell you-I have not met a yoga teacher that can compete with
you. I think I was lucky to start my 'yoga-life' with you cos I think I
would hav lost interest with a less gifted teacher! :o)
good luck to you and lots of love, martinaxx.

Hi Ben (ha!)
Thanks for the pics. Wish we were still in class. I miss it.
I’m back in Amsterdam and will be leaving this Saturday for Venice.
I hope everyone is fine and surviving without our incredible yoga teacher!
Take care and keep in touch,
Ingrid

Dear Oona,
thank you, thank you, THANK YOU!!!!
Your course was a wonderful experience - I benefited greatly,
especially with regard to certain postures which I can now do with
much more ease. I would definitely like to come again - either Paros
or Holland.
------------------------------------------
Thanks Oona,
I must confess that starting my day without Oona's daily
"...elongate your spine...". is just not the same. Also, tying
the shoulder stand on my office desk was not appreciated by my
colleagues J
Hope you all landed (mentally) safely back to reality.

Dear Oona,
I just want to thank you again for the yoga workshop - I really,
really enjoyed it. In every way it was enjoyable - I feel
physically well and mentally rested/calmed - and you have inspired me -
thank you.
I will keep in touch with you (I plan on being back in Paros next year
and the Amsterdam workshops sounds wonderful too!!). You and your baby
will be in my thoughts and particularly in December.
Thank you again Oona - I'm so glad to have met you

Hello Oona
I want to come back again, I hope for next sommer. Some time in the future I
am thinking about having a longer stay for yoga practicing, if it is
possible for you and me. I realy apreciate your yogastyle and the way you are
teaching.
Best regards
Gunn

Hi Oona
Just a quick note. I wanted to say a big thank you for your
help and advice, for a great holiday and for the yoga. I really
enjoyed your classes and working within the group. I feel
that the week helped deepen my understanding of some of the asanas,
gave me some great techniques and ways to achieve correct action
especially in my hips, and also you showed me how to work in a
softer way which has really made a change to my practice. This
week everything feels fantastic, especially my shoulders. I
also really enjoyed my time in Aliki, such a lovely place, and
feels very safe and relaxed even if you are independent of the
group but you also can enjoy time with the group. It was a
really good holiday so thank you.
I hope you are well and resting and relaxing this week.
I hope the next few months go smoothly and your baby boy
arrives into the world quickly with a loud "waaahhhh"! Keep in
touch and let me know how it all goes and if you do plan workshops etc
in the future.

Like Ingrid, I’m missing the yoga hugely, but hope to find a similar sort of class in London.
I hope you’re all well.

OONA!
Yoga with you has had such a defining impact on me...haven't found a
teacher yet, but my search is satisfyingly different. (I did get Angela
Farmer's Inner Body Flow DVD to use at home - thanks, I see why you
recommended her.)
Funny,
only a couple of days ago, I forwarded your info to a friend to give to
a friend...I guess I talk about my yoga experience with you so
enthusiastically that people remember months later & then call to
ask me for your contact info...
Best wishes,
Elaine Steenson
