PRAISE
I have been working with Justine for nearly 15 years, I've worked with many yoga teachers in my life, and I find Justine to have the most enquiring and flexible approach to yoga I have encountered. I always feel the benefit of a class with her on every level – physical, emotional and spiritual, she brings warmth, humour and heart to her teaching as well as great professionalism and dedication.

Justine’s retreat was the most amazing experience! From the yoga sessions that left me feeling rejuvenated and centered, to the mouth watering home made food that satisfied both body and soul, every moment was pure bliss. Justine’s teaching style is truly unique and inspiring, making every class a journey of self-discovery. I’m very grateful for this transformative experience, and I will miss her classes dearly.

I first attended a Sweetyoga retreat in 2018 and have returned year on year – with Zoom classes added as another layer of Sweetyoga goodness through 2020-21 and beyond. Four Portugal retreats and planning 2024 already! Justine has a great teaching style, encouraging you to adapt your practice to what is individually right for each student. Her knowledge of anatomy as well as yoga and breath work leads to a great holistic experience. Great yoga teacher and an amazing cook. Individual ensuite rooms offers privacy and the camaraderie with fellow guests is always good, across nationalities and age groups. Even travel is straightforward because you are chaperoned and taken care of. They really have everything covered. I really can’t recommend these retreats more.

Justine is an absolutely fantastic yoga teacher and definitely my favourite one so far. The techniques she taught us have become an integral part of my everyday life. The retreat was the best thing I could have done for myself before returning back to my work life. There were so many highlights, one of them being the devine vegetarian food prepared by Justine. The retreat is perfect for those looking for a mindful approach to yoga. I wholeheartedly recommend it. Plus Justine’s husband Giles is an absolute gentleman.

I arrived feeling physically and emotionally exhausted. But I feel blessed to have had this experience with an incredible group. Justine taught a whole new type of yoga and gave us tools to cope with everyday life stressors. I left feeling very much at peace and booked myself in for next year as soon as I got home.

I have so much admiration you are willing to do the inner work and that you are committed to your practice through all your life ups and downs. Your conscious work also inspires me to continue mine, I am all the better off for being connected to you. Thank you for trusting me, I trust you wholeheartedly.
Much love, Justine x
What’s unique about this yoga retreat is Justine’s ability to personalise the experience so that you come away with a greater understanding and appreciation of you and your body and how best to nurture your whole self.

In 2019 I was looking for an opportunity to learn more about yoga to promote my wellbeing. I found Sweetyoga and have been attending Justine’s retreats and online classes ever since. I’ve already reserved my place for 2024. I have no hesitation in recommending Sweetyoga to anyone who wants to participate in a fulfilling yoga experience led by a qualified and very knowledgeable teacher.

A wonderful, educational and well structured retreat. Quality yoga, good company and delicious food. A retreat to rejuvenate and deepen your practice in a loving and supportive atmosphere. Many thanks to Justine and the sweetyoga crew. Looking forward to the next one!

As a total beginner I couldn’t of chosen a more suitable retreat because Justine’s knowledge is incredible. Afternoon dips in the pool were a treat, meaningful chats and plenty of laughter. The cherry on the top of an excellent cake was Justine’s no fuss approach to adjusting the menu to suit my vegan diet. It was a wonderful experience.

Thank you Justine for your warm, gentle and attentive approach to yoga. I had a lovely holiday with you. I wanted to spend some time with myself and this was the perfect holiday to do plus I made some new friends. In my mind I keep going back to Portugal. I see the mountains and feel the sun and a calm and safe feeling fills me up. So thank you for the retreat Justine!

Sweetyoga is the best yoga retreat I’ve been on. It is fabulous value for money with two yoga sessions per day in a well rounded, well organised and individually tailored course which focuses on applying practice to everyday life. Justine’s generosity and attention are second to none. The chaperoned transfers meant we could switch off and enjoy being looked after. A true indulgence!
