I love coming to Atsuko's classes. She is an excellent yoga instructor, with thorough explanation and guidance; enabling me to focus and improve steadily.
The structured classes along with positive reinforcement are both motivating and enabling. Atsuko manages an adaptable approach adjusting to different student needs and I always end class feeling positive and satisfied having had a good practice.

My husband and I started going to Atsuko's yoga classes to help our backs and other ailments. They are very good, flow very well and Atsuko is very good at explaining new movements and keeps an eye on all the class and corrects anyone that may be doing a posture slightly incorrectly. Good yoga teacher and we always look forward to attending the weekly class.

I have attended Atsuko' s hatha yoga classes ; the mindfulness workshops, and the Ashtanga class .
In my experience of these classes, I would not hesitate to say that I feel there is something for pretty much everyone here: everyone that is who is even slightly curious about what Yoga has to offer. All you need to bring is your mind, your body, and your breath!... oh! And a mat!

I attend Atusko’s morning online class. The regular and short daily yoga practice sets me up very well for the day both physically and mentally and I look forward to the cheerful greeting and clear instruction and guidance.

I have practiced yoga with Atsuko for around 20 years at first in person but since COVID online. I attend 5 mornings a week. Her teaching is clear and precise with plenty of variation. I am in my late seventies and fit and active for my age and this I put down to my daily yoga sessions.

First class yoga teacher and your body will thank you for going to Atsuko's classes

I have been practising yoga for 30 years and experienced several yoga teachers. I really appreciate Atsuko’s clear, non flowery approach in all her classes. I recently tried the Yoga And Mindfulness workshop on Sunday morning. I was deeply impressed and thought the session was genius. A balance of gentle yoga, guided meditation, yoga philosophy/Buddhist teachings and deep relaxation. A brilliant formula, well planned and executed. We are so lucky to have access to such a talented teacher here in North Devon.

Just want to say once more how very very much I am enjoying your yoga sessions.
What I really like is that in 30 mins you do enough to feel that you have had a good workout, it hardly breaks in to the day, but it informs the rest of he day beautifully.
And I really like how a lot of it is familiar now but you put a new thing in most days which is fab.
So THANKYOU for introducing me to yoga and leading me to love it !

I began my yoga experience with Atsuko when my husband and I had private lessons with her when we lived in Devon . As a physiotherapist I was impressed by her understanding and expertise, the lessons were amazing and invaluable. We then moved to Dorset and Covid so when she began her online classes we jumped at the chance to hear her once again guiding us through the postures and relaxation . Her whole ethos inspires me , so thank you Atsuko for keeping us going.

I always feel better after my yoga class. Even if I arrive feeling tired and lethargic I leave feeling invigorated and have the best night's sleep of the week!

As I am slipping into later life I was finding that simple things are starting to get difficult. I find that doing yoga on a once a week routine has been very beneficial for my general flexibility and health.

I love yoga with the super bendy Atsuko. I always feel calm yet energised both physically and mentally after class. Atsuko's manner and teaching style is great - gentle when needed but will also push and stretch you when needed too. Atsuko is able to adapt for all ages and abilities and has a charmingly subtle sense of humour!
