I had a wonderful time at Cwm Connell’s yoga retreat with Alex! This was only the second time I’d done yoga and I felt so refreshed afterwards! Diolch!

Wonderful Yoga practice with Alex, he is always mindful of all the needs of people in the class.

Alex teaches a broad range of yoga practices. He intuitively knows when to give additional prompts His teaching is a great balance of physical yoga and reflective holistic practice.

A fabulous spring retreat day with Alex at Cwm Connell. The 5 Element form practise in the early morning sunshine over looking the beautiful Pembrokeshire coast, was memorable. Alex’s teaching is wonderfully calm and relaxed, supportive. We were encouraged to push to find our ‘edge’ but also to explore alternative ways to reach poses if, like me, we were rather stiff and un-supple. A really great yoga experience in a fabulous environment.

I loved my time at Cwm Connell. Alex is supportive, gentle and inspiring. The West Wales landscape and Alex’s guided yoga make for a genuinely restorative experience.

Alex’s classes are incredible and I can’t recommend more highly. His depth of knowledge, his passion and understanding makes for a wonderfully nurturing experience, leaving you completely refreshed, enlightened and calm.

Alex’s Autumn Equinox Yoga Retreat was fantastic. His knowledge and guidance through practice was exceptional. The day was extremely well planned and a very calming and rewarding experience. Sad not to live nearer for more regular yoga with Alex.

I recently attended Alex’s Autumn Equinox Yoga retreat in the wonderful yoga hall at Cwm Connell. The hall was warm and light; the retreat fully attended with a combination of Alex’s regular students and others like me who’d travelled, knowing we’d be in for a treat. Three sessions of Anahata, Hatha and Restorative Yoga later, a wonderful lunch and evening banquet, I was gently restored. Thank you Emma and Alex for your wonderful hospitality.

We really enjoyed the beautiful Yoga practices, Reflexology, yummy food (please may I have the biscuit recipe?!!!), great company in the breathtaking surroundings! We had a wonderful sunny weekend staying in our stunningly beautiful & luxurious cottage, where every single thing had been carefully considered 🙏🏽 Looking forward to running Juicy Yoga / Meadowside Yoga Retreat here in the future 🧘🏽‍♀️

Cwm Connell is yoga heaven, with the biggest warm welcome, the entire day felt like a gigantic hug. Fantastic teaching and yoga practices set in nature. And your food was absolutely divine. Thank you so much, I left feeling super grounded and very much cared for. Can’t wait to find an opportunity to come back!

Thank you, thank you Alex and Emma – for the inspirational teaching and sense of deep harmony in your beautiful yoga hall. Delicious food and delightful company – you really cast a spell over all of us with your Magic of Yoga retreat.

Alex is a consummate professional with a calming voice and manner. Reassuring, helpful and knowledgeable I always look forward to his classes every week. He also brings a sense of fun to his yoga classes and his knowledge and experience of all aspects of yoga is without question. And to top it all he is a lovely human being as well! I would highly recommend Alex without question.

I have been going to weekly classes with Alex since September and enjoying them immensley. Alex is welcoming and warm and he is able to hold the group extremely well. He brings something new to each class and his passion for his practice is obvious, which he delights in sharing. He is not afraid to challenge us to find our own limits whilst at the same time creating an inclusive environment. I look forward to the classes each week.

Alex is a truly inspirational teacher. We are so lucky that he provides this motivational strengthening and holistic approach. His voice should be recorded as it has a great tone and resonance. I always feel relaxed and uplifted as well as knowing I’ve worked hard and taken this precious time for me.

This is my first time practising yoga so wasnt sure what to expect, but I’m loving it.???? Alex passes on his passion and knowledge in a beautifully calm manner, enabling, tranquility and mindfulness, while pushing us to increase physical strength and flexibility. Thanks Alex.

I have just completed Alex’s excellent Magic of Yoga programme. I am a beginner and Alex has a brilliant way of explaining what we are going to do, with extra thoughts about Yoga and what its essence is. Loved the course and believe it has started my life-changing path to improved health and being well.

Alex’s attention to the unique requirements of different students has allowed me to grow in confidence, both in improving postures and trying new asanas. Yoga has provided me with benefits both mental and physical, improving my strength, flexibility and balance.

I started as a Beginner 6 months ago and am now an Improver (hopefully!), I really notice my own progress which makes the courses feel rewarding.

Alex brings a great level of knowledge and fun to the classes which have combined an enjoyable, social workout with mindfulness, balance and increased strength. I am hooked!

I came to yoga with very little expectations. I have suffered with frequent back pains for most of my adult life and I can say that after a terms worth of lessons my whole body feels so much stronger and flexible. Yoga not only gives me much needed physical exercise but mental calmness too.

New to yoga last year, but already I’m hooked! Alex is incredibly patient and encouraging during his classes, but be in no doubt, you definitely come away knowing you’ve moved your body in ways you didn’t know were possible!

Alex runs a super weekly class that has greatly improved my suppleness and mental outlook. He transcends the yoga postures and brings a very holistic mental and physical approach to his classes. Very approachable, he oozes tranquility, but knows when to push the class to its limits.
