点评:The bad bit- DO NOT book with Book Retreats*. These people/this company cannot/do not want to read; after getting my booking wrong I sent a message titled ‘Do not cancel’. I re-iterated this in the first line of the body of my email. THEY CANCELLED MY BOOKING, resulting in exchange fees on the initial/wrong booking and secondary fees when they cancelled the booking! Fees and more fees for their errors they refused to acknowledge/do anything about them.
THE BRILLIANT BIT - Monique & Norbert, an amazing duo of yoga instructors, each with their own, but overlapping, styles of several different types of yoga. Each closed at the end with a sung mantra.
My time in Gozo started with classes led by Monique, assisted by nightly reminders, weather reports, clothing suggestions and reminders for sun screen, when necessary. Whilst, in my head, these felt a bit tame for me - on reflection, they were truly wonderful and the breathing exercises I take away will be used again and again. Towards the end of my stay I had a couple of classes led by Norbert. The first very dynamic, the second slower but with strength behind the poses.
Sadly my time with Yellow Rock Yoga and Gozo is at an end and I feel a bit tearful. I didn’t expected to enjoy it as much as I did; having had some truly patronising and borderline bullying instructors in the past/UK, who left lasting impressions. But I am thrilled to find this is not the norm.
My only regret is having made a private booking* opportunities to do more with YRY were limited as I left it far too late.
翻译:缺点——不要通过 Book Retreats* 预订。这些人/这家公司不能/不想阅读;在我错误预订后,我发送了一条标题为“不要取消”的消息。我在电子邮件正文的第一行重申了这一点。他们取消了我的预订,导致最初/错误预订的兑换费和取消预订时的二次费用!他们拒绝承认/采取任何措施,收取了更多费用。
精彩之处——Monique 和 Norbert 是一对很棒的瑜伽教练,他们各自都有自己但又重叠的几种不同瑜伽风格的风格。每节课结束时都以唱诵咒语结束。
我在戈佐岛的时间从 Monique 主持的课程开始,并在必要时通过夜间提醒、天气预报、着装建议和防晒霜提醒来提供帮助。虽然在我看来,这些对我来说有点乏味——但回想起来,它们真的很棒,我学到的呼吸练习会一次又一次地使用。在我逗留的最后阶段,我参加了 Norbert 主持的几节课。第一节课非常有活力,第二节课节奏较慢,但姿势很有力度。
遗憾的是,我与 Yellow Rock Yoga 和 Gozo 的合作即将结束,我感到有点难过。我没想到自己会如此享受;过去/英国曾遇到过一些真正居高临下、近乎欺凌的教练,他们给我留下了深刻的印象。但我很高兴发现这不是常态。
我唯一的遗憾是进行了私人预订*,与 YRY 合作的机会有限,因为我离开得太晚了。
