Coaching with Islay really was the catalyst in my own spiritual development, and more importantly, my reclamation of the divine feminine and my sense of Self as a woman. It set me on a path of fulfillment and alignment. Now I trust myself, and continue to grow and love myself in a way that is true to me. Connecting with another woman on such a deep & raw level of interconnection gives me hope that as a collective we have the power to heal and shift the narrative of the wild woman, ultimately paving the way for future generations.

My experience working with Islay was extremely healing and relaxing. It brought me back into my center, back into my body, and to the peace within myself that is always accessible. It allowed me to quiet my mind and focus on the sensations in my body, to move through discomfort and release tension that I have been holding onto. It really helped me become aware of my inner world.

I experience difficulties feeling in my body, or even feeling my body at all sometimes, and your class made slowing down feel more possible for me. All love, all gratitude. Many thanks.

Islay is such a positive person to interact with. I feel so comfortable sharing my thoughts with her, she embraces everything with such warmth and openness! I love how attentive she is to my feelings, even more than I am! I couldn’t be more grateful to have found this opportunity of connecting with Islay, and I would encourage everyone to check out her sessions! Trust me, it is worth it!

Islay is a passionate and caring person, and this definitely translates to her teaching. We had an online class and I’m surprised by how much I was able to tap into my “zen” without being in a yoga studio. I enjoyed her unique invitation to pay attention to my womb and its connection to healing during our 1:1 session. It is not something you’d be led to in a typical class as they aren’t usually women/womb specific. Practicing with her is a worthwhile step in your embodiment journey!

...also my brain started working again. One of the things that came up was this insecurity about achieving and doing things well or right, and early on you mentioned there were "no levels to the practice, just what your body wants right now". And with that reminder the need for achievement and the insecurity I felt around it just melted away. Some serious thanks, credit and acknowledgment needs to be given to the energy you brought and embodied, how safe & non-judgmental it felt, plus the impact it had generally on the session. It created such a wholesome and nourishing atmosphere right in my room! So again, wonderful work and thank you!

This was an amazing experience! I had never done Yin Yoga before and this morning I woke up a little scared that it was going to be like other classes with more tension and discomfort but I decided to go. I was surprised that even though some of the postures were uncomfortable, we focused a lot on breathing and being able to have the rest of the body relaxed while working on some areas or muscles holding tension.
I liked the balance, both in the class and in the practices. The focus on breathing and having a relaxed body. I liked that Islay gave tips that supported me as a beginner. Islay made the class very easy to take, and from the beginning created and environment of safety. I had some emotions come up too, and the warmth of the group helped me to to feel okay to show vulnerability. I would recommend Islay’s classes because she creates spaces where you put your ego aside and feel safe to show your vulnerable side in many ways. Islay is a very good instructor.
