"Elaine Ewens is a colleague since 2017 and I have experienced her as a fellow Vedic Chant student, a fellow Yoga/Vedic Chant teacher and as a person! Her presence in class as a teacher, student and on a personal level is always gentle, loving, intelligent and generous! In her classes she beautifully and successfully combines yoga movements, yoga breath, visualization, mantra and meditation. It is a treat for the mind!"

"I have attended Elaine's Gentle Yoga Classes for many years. They have certainly helped me to keep me supple and in very good condition consistent with my age! She takes great care in making her classes full inclusive, taking into account our individual needs and limitations, so that all of us can progress."

"I just wanted to say thank you for running such great classes last term and the theme of transformation couldn’t have been better.
Some weeks I even felt the thread running through the class was for me and me alone, and marvelled at how you could be so spot on!"
SP, Frome

"My mind & spirit is more relaxed & balanced since being in your yoga class & I am definitely enjoying the chanting & breathing that we are doing.
I find myself zoning out, almost floating sometimes, which for me is a miracle as my brain is always on the go.
Thank you so much for everything you do."

"I just wanted to say how much I'm enjoying your class! It's certainly challenging, but I'm feeling positive responses to the work. It's also helping me to release and let go of things in my mind."
Karolyn, Frome
"Your style of teaching works amazingly well using this online medium of Zoom.
The Zoom yoga classes are so much more enjoyable and powerful than I expected.
In fact, in some ways, I find them more powerful than when we meet, maybe because I am able to put 100% into the practise - physically, mentally and form the heart - it is much more of a meditative practise"
Helena, Frome
"Not only is Elaine beautifully flexible in her body, but more importantly in her teaching.
She responds to the ever-changing needs of the class and to the individuals within it. This is made possible because she is open and deeply grounded, like the dandelion which is her symbol."
Mandy, Frome
"Elaine, what an amazing class on Wednesday! I've never known anything like it. The massage aspect of it was really ground breaking. Unbelievably my toothache has completely gone and I have put my dental appointment on hold!!"
Carol Foster, Frome
"I want to thank you, Geoff, Maxine and all fellow yogis for the Balance Workshop. I came home feeling uplifted, energised, motivated and tired! Wonderful."

By the end I feel awash with
relaxation & happy hormones."

"A well structured and clear direction through the principles of meditation and techniques to make practice fun. Bringing meditation down to earth and making it useful in everyday life. Definitely worth doing."
Jerry, Frome
"This has been a wonderful experience. I always thought yoga would be difficult, but you made it easy for us.
You took great care of us all, seeing we didn't injure ourselves and gave us clear guidance. Thank you"

"I started the Thursday morning yoga classes with Elaine Ewens in February and I am so glad I did! I felt welcomed by the group and really enjoy Elaine's approach. She is sensitive to each person's needs and the group as a whole.
