“I’ve been doing yoga on and off for a number of years now but Issi is by far the best teacher I’ve come across. She teaches in the most beautiful relaxing way, always making sure everyone is practicing each pose correctly. Her classes are both challenging and relaxing the perfect balance. I’ve been lucky enough to attend a couple of Issi’s retreats, both day ones and longer weekend ones. They are such a treat to take part in and carefully organised to every little detail.
Issi also runs sound healing masterclasses to her and I can’t recommend taking part in these enough! What an experience!
I am grateful to have found Issi and will continue to enjoy her holistic approach to life for many years to come.”

“Finding Issi for me has been a life changing experience. Issi is the most amazing and inspiring teacher, I knew from my very first class with her many many years ago that I would love and learn from her. I have done group classes, 1-1 and a retreat. She is extremely knowledgable, patient, kind and also very funny - I absolutely LOVE all her classes and I so look forward to going. I recently attended a workshop of yin yoga with crystal bowls and mind blowing only partly describes the class. Her whole aura is of calm, serene and she radiates kindness and I feel so very fortunate to have found her. The very very best.”

“Issi is a kind spirit with a gentle soul, thoughtful, and patient. Her tailored practices are a great mix of strength, flow, deep breathing, and relaxation.
Issi has a very great way of passing on instructions, the guidance are vey clear in what she wants me to do, where I am supposed to feel the pose and what the purpose of the poses are.
The way she instructs, guides me through the sequences and her wonderfully calming voice just makes her class so unique.
I love my weekly sessions. Her space is the perfect safe haven, filled with love and great energy. I’ve never felt stronger, more in-tuned with my mind and body or as centred.
I absolutely encourage you to book a session and assure you that you will not be disappointed!”

“I’ve been practicing with Issi for over 5 years and she continues to inspire me to achieve more both from a personal point of view and with my own yoga ability.
Issi is an amazing teacher, truly one of a kind who delivers her lessons with a sense of calm determination, knowledgeable direction and most of all its fun. She caters for all levels regardless of ability, providing challenging positions for those who want to go a little further, or gentle Yin positions for something a little less energetic. She’s simply the best and I look forward to pulling on my yoga outfit to find out what Issi has planned each week.”
Kim Piper Bowles
“Issi has been an amazing teacher to who is able to adapt a class to all different levels. She has taught me for over 4 years and then I introduced her to my business and it has been an incredible success in helping so many people with their health and well being. Our staff thoroughly loved the classes and we became a little community with Issi at the helm. I would recommend Issi to anyone who wants to have the total yoga experience. I went from being a beginner to doing yoga 4 times a week and loving every minute of it. Her style, patience and expertise is honestly so great.”
Emma Banham, Banham Locks Ltd
“Issi’s knowledge of these practices is deep and fine, her ability to tune in with the client is simply amazing.
This is why she is my one and only yoga teacher. Being a 200 hours teacher myself i appreciate even more her competence, passion, dedication and ability to offer the best possible experience. I’ve been guided by Issi for four years now and still learning new things. Thank you Issi!”
Livia Aliberti
“I very much look forward to my sessions with Issi. I’ve been practicing with Issi 1:1 for five years now and they are always tailored to accomplish exactly what I want and how I feel on the day. They are thoroughly enjoyable and I always come away feeling very relaxed and calm."
Guy Holloway
“Couldn’t recommend IDWellness highly enough. My company worked with Issi as part of a programme for improving the mental and physical health of our team. The skill that Issi runs a class with can’t be learned, she understands the importance of encouragement, understanding, pushing people (just the right amount) and making people feel comfortable. 5 sessions in and I was already noticing my body behaving in new and improved ways, and the well-being of my team improving. It was such a joy.”
Lucinda Newbound, Back in Action
“What better testimonial can I give than that after two years of one to one zoom sessions I am still coming back for more? Issi’s sessions are always fun, even when they are challenging. And I have learnt far more than I had ever expected to do. Definitely recommended.”
John Fairley
“Shortly after discovering yoga I started practicing yoga with Issi at Core Collective and she became a pillar teacher for me as she pushed me to the next level of my practice. She gave personal advice even when her classes where busy, which showed me how passionate and of an attentive teacher she is. I also learned much about handstands and I improved quickly because of her guidance. I was happy to follow her practice at different places/studios around London as I recognise the quality of her teachings in the large world of yoga. Issi is passionate and knowledgeable, which she applies in all her classes.”
Tina Zeale
“I have been doing yoga with Issi for 4 or 5 years now and just love it. She has a beautifully gentle calming manner to her and having done a number of different classes I feel she adapts to her clients; she considers what’s going on for us, whether we need an upbeat active class or are in need of it being more relaxing. Every class is different. I have always done shared private classes at Pednor which is a gorgeous location, where it feels like you are at one with nature. Sometimes when doing savasana, lying in that conservatory with the ambience, the music, the oils and the sun shining in, makes me feel like I am in India! Every single class that I have finished, I have felt good at the end of it, like I have recharged my batteries.
I can honestly not recommend Issi highly enough. Not only is she an amazing yoga teacher with great knowledge of the anatomy but she also has a broad understanding of the yoga philosophies which we learn about from time to time.”
Alexandra Creed
“I really enjoy Issi's Power Yoga class. I love that there are options to explore new challenges and get stronger, as well as options to take it easy and give your body what it needs on that day. I have been practicing yoga with Issi for a few years now and a lot of it online, I'm always amazed at how attentive Issi is to be able to support adjustments through the camera so that you can have the same one-on- one guidance you would receive in an in person class. I really appreciate that Issi is true to her own full spectrum of knowledge around yoga, bringing in mantras, meditation, chakra work, yoga nidra techniques and pranayama, always making me mindful of the expanse of benefits yoga brings that are beyond the physical.”
Jayne Crow
“The classes and instructions are always really clear and it's great that you can do adjustments through the screen too. Always really encouraging, and it is good to try new and more challenging asana. The only thing i would change is that I can't really hear the music in the background, therefore prefer to play my own, or the playlists previously shared.”

“I really enjoyed the opportunity to practice yoga and Pilates with Issi, even though it was a group session on zoom I found it very personable and was always given a variety of an exercise that might suit me better. I truly saw a significant difference in my tone and structure and overall well being when I was consistently doing these yoga sessions.”
Camilla Bingham
“When I moved to London I found it hard to get back into my Yoga practice and really priorities that time for me. When I met Issi, she brought the spark back and I found myself committing to her classes weeks in advance.
The way I would describe Issi’s class I believe is a direct reflection of her as a person; Nurturing and calm, has an exciting energy about trying new things, while always with a smile on her face.
Issi has a true interest in building relationships with her students which is one of the many things that makes me, and other students, continually come back to her classes.”
Kiona Guillot
“I love coming to your class, it feels magical! A perfect balance of everything... It's great to be given alternative options to challenge and deepen the pose for those that can. #teamIssi

Nelle Tantiratanukul
“Issi´s classes are empowering and fulfilling. Strong yet relaxing. What I like the most is that she encourages and guides you to take your next yogi steps, and you go back home rested but also excited, wanting to learn more!”
Bel Bambossi
Issi is intuitive with a beautiful generous soul. I was delighted with my Tarot reading. I felt Issi has a good connected with the cards. She gives a down to earth reading with lots of details making me feel at ease with the reading. I felt a connect to the reading and enjoyed the whole experience. I would definitely recommend Issi. Issi is also an amazing teacher with so much energy and knowledge. I find her very supportive and caring and it is a total joy to spend time with her.

“I attend both the Wednesday Yin class and the Saturday Power class, which makes for the perfect balance of restorative and energising practices at just the right times of the week. Each week we have a slightly different focus, and I’ve really noticed the benefits to my practice and wellbeing. Having recently moved from East London where you can’t walk 100 yards without passing a yoga studio I was worried I wouldn’t find an equivalent in Chesham, but Isabel beats all of my previous yoga teachers hands down!”
Josephine Haining
“I have been to a few other yoga classes before and none of them compare to Isabel’s. It is a great place to practice yoga and with each class having a different focus each week keeps it interesting, learning new positions and each time you come away feeling great! The studio space is gorgeous and it truly makes for an enjoyable experience.”
Sally Fenton
“Love every class even if I struggle. You have quite simply changed my outlook on life and how I hope with stress. I can't thank you enough.”
