    What a wonderful way to end the year; the journalling and contrast therapy group session with Alice was a real treat. I've been to a few of Alice's sessions since she opened Songbird Sanctuary and I always leave feeling better than when I arrived. More relaxed. Or more energised, depending on the session. Alice is the perfect host. I've been making it my mission to regularly treat myself to the Songbird events and will continue to do so in 2026.

    What a stunning set up. The whole evening experience was a wind down and preparation for a good nights sleep. A gentle yoga nidra session followed by some simple tips and breath work ideas for helping induce sleep. Then out into the beautifully landscaped garden to step into the sauna.

  • Kate C

    “I’ve been attending Alice’s classes, both in person and online, for a while now, and they are truly exceptional. She has a wonderful ability to guide you through dynamic, flowing sequences that feel both grounding and energising, always leaving me feeling stronger, more open, and refreshed.

    But what really sets Alice apart is her Yoga Nidra sessions – they are pure bliss. Deeply restorative, perfectly paced, and exactly what you need to fully unwind. And the homemade cacao she serves afterwards. Absolutely delicious!”

  • Emily S

    "After Alice's amazing Yoga Nidra classes I honestly feel like I've had the most relaxing hour ever! I always come away feeling completely re-energised and re-set."

  • Laura S

    “I absolutely LOVE doing yoga classes with Alice. I've done both active and slower flows with her online and at her studio and I love the way she structures the classes, provides great direction and thinks about the details like the music and the atmosphere. I've also done yoga nidra with Alice at her studio and it was a really lovely experience. She even brought out an amazing homemade cacao drink to end the session. Alice's voice is calm and soothing and she's friendly and thoughtful and her studio is a lovely place to be. I always leave feeling thoroughly rejuvenated.”

    "Desk Yoga has proved to be popular amongst our staff team. Alice focuses on movements which anyone can do and everyone will benefit from, particularly those that spend a considerable amount of time sitting at a desk. We all feel energised and relaxed after the sessions, which help not only our physical health, but our mental health too. Would highly recommend!
