"Through my yoga practice with Dimple an inner silence and strength came into life, at heart a greater connection between thought, breath and movement. Vigorous and acutely aware but above all a wonderfully patient teacher!"
Joseph Fiennes

"My doctor recommended yoga to help my posture & breathing and Dimple has already made a meaningful difference. But the classes have given me more - e.g. the increased suppleness and muscle strength has proved very complementary to other sporting pursuits....getting through 90 minutes [of football] is now easier than ever"
Charles D. Hill-Wood

"I am so grateful for all you have done for me. I think having yoga sessions with you has really helped in making my pregnancy a better experience. It has helped me relax, it has "forced" me to find time for myself and it has improved my physical and mental balance - not to mention keeping my body in decent shape! I look forward to having mother and baby sessions."
Carla Passino

"I would personally recommend, without hesitation, Dimple Sthankiya to be your Life Coach. Over the past few months Dimple has used various, non-invasive techniques that have allowed me to talk freely and in detail about the areas in my life that I have always wanted to improve, build upon and change. I now feel that I have a renewed confidence and strength in my life. I have faith and believe in myself and, for the first time in many years, I am happy with being ME. I am determined to achieve my goals (both in my personal and business worlds) because I know I can! and I am finally letting go of the anger, bitterness and regret that was holding me back and have learnt to forgive, move on and look forward with anticipation and excitement! My life is clutter free and I have more clarity in my outlook and vision than I ever thought possible."
Davina Savage

“Having a twin pregnancy, and it being my first, I was very concerned about the impact on my body. Working with Dimple helped me strengthen my body and relax my mind in preparation for the birth as well as the aftermath. I would recommend it to any expecting mother as the best investment in herself– I was still walking in Hyde Park the day before I gave birth to Tilly and James, had very little swelling and manageable back ache. I would not have been in such good shape mentally and physically without Dimple’s help.”
Jody Gibbens

"Having reached a point in my life where I wanted guidance I acted on recommendation and contacted Dimple. The best thing about the life coaching I have shared with Dimple is that where I was hoping to be given answers I have instead been asked stimulating questions. I found my own answers, realised no-one else could give me answers ever, and all I needed was the self-esteem to believe that my answers are by definition the correct ones. Dimple is an incredibly sensitive, generous and eloquent teacher who genuinely has time for me personally. I had expected the clearing sessions to be quite upsetting, instead they were deeply calming. It is not easy to quantify what Dimple has achieved, but I can say with honesty that after each session I feel enduringly and significantly different to how I did beforehand, on a level that I cannot describe but which must be that of my true self because why else would I feel so comfortable, content and happy?! Thank you Dimple"
Kat Astley

"My private yoga sessions with Dimple were both refreshing and invigorating for body and mind. Dimple has the great ability to cater sessions to your personal needs and requirements and so my sessions with her ranged from the very physically strenous ashtanga vinyasa based to the more sedated practice of guided meditation. With Dimple nothing ever feels formulaic or forced and for this reason she is a true gem among yogis"
Lindsay Hayden

"Dimple is a superb teacher with a knack for finding just the right place to stretch for maximum effect. I felt limber and really energised after a few weeks, somewhat surprisingly so for a geek."
Mark Shuttleworth

I’ve been learning yoga in Dimple’s class for about four months now, having started as a complete beginner. I feel very lucky to have had my introduction to yoga with Dimple; Dimple brings warmth and humour to her lessons, and her teaching emphasises the spiritual basis of yoga. Dimple also has a gift for explaining and illustrating the movements and the postures. This has helped me to avoid falling into bad habits early on, also making it easier for me to advance in my practice. Even in a large class Dimple brings a personal touch, helping her students with individual attention, adjustment of their postures and praise (when it’s due!). If there is one thing I could change about Dimple’s classes it is that I would like there to be more of them; once a week isn’t enough!
Alan Slater

"Getting up at 6am does not come naturally to us and when the doorbell goes at 6.30 we always think oh no! By the time Dimple leaves at 8 we feel full of energy and ready to start the day. Her classes are dynamic yet relaxing, challenging but at the same time manageable and her ability to explain and demonstrate new postures is excellent. What more can we say - yoga with Dimple is a thoroughly positive experience!"
Simon & Joanna Green

"I would like to thank you for all your support and expertise during my pregnancy. I suffered from very bad morning sickness during the first 4 months of my pregnancy and I found that the yoga, if only once per week, really helped me relax and deal with my sickness a lot more calmly than I would have had I not have learnt the meditation, breathing and different physical postures from you. Now, at almost 6 months pregnant, I am able to do some of the postures you have taught me at home to relieve fluid retention and also to help me contain a relaxed and mindful pregnancy, which I know will help in the birth of my baby too. You have encouraged and inspired me to continue with a yoga practice for the rest of my pregnancy and afterwards as well. Thank you again"
Nicole Showler

"My private yoga sessions with Dimple are the one thing I look forward to every week and they help set me up to deal a lot better with my work stress. I feel completely calm, relaxed, invigorated and worked-out after her classes. Dimple has focussed on exactly what my needs are and has fine-tuned our sessions so that I get the most from her tuition. My yoga has developed quickly and my ability to stand back from situations and reassess things has improved dramatically. I have also recently undertaken a Life Coaching session with Dimple and can highly recommend that too. Dimple can recommend changes in thought-process and diet which are quite profound!! She has helped me to take stock of my issues and taught me how to cope and deal with things in a much better way and the physical and mental impact of her tuition is fantastic! She is thoughtful, intuitive, kind and genuinely cares about my wellbeing. I would highly recommend Dimple as a Yoga-teacher, coach and mentor!!"
Claudine Cowlrick

"One on one yoga & life coaching sessions with Dimple changed my life - quite literally. Not only did I physically feel and look in much better shape, but it really helped me mentally to take time out from my Busy City life and put things into perspective. I realised that my life had been rushing away before my eyes without me even noticing, and I believe that the sessions with Dimple have been truly instrumental in my decision to bow out of the political corporate life I was so engrossed in and set up my own business doing something I really love. I feel like I have my life back!"
Kerrie Hanafin

In all honesty I did not really know what to expect from Life Coaching. However, 6 months on I am pleased to say that my attitudes and outlook on life, from my emotional insecurities and rational fears to my physical wellbeing and personal aspirations, have been completely refreshed. Dimple has encouraged, guided and supported me without telling me what to do or how to do it. Most of all she has given me the opportunity to discover the person I really want to be!
Charlotte Hunter

"Learning yoga with Dimple is fantastic. She creates a very peaceful and relaxed atmosphere and her knowledge and understanding of the postures is amazing. She relays the benefits of the positions which really inspires you to hold them. Dimple is brilliant at yoga and her demonstrations during class are balletic and inspirational. She has a terrific ability to teach and communicate focus points and her disciplined approach in class ensures the safety of pupils and generates confidence. The adjustments are great and Dimple always smiles."
Aidan Dow

"I have just finished 8 weeks of Iyengar classes with dimple and having started as a beginner I was initially nervous about my lack of stretchiness! Dimple has helped me come along massively in my yoga practice in 8 weeks. She makes you feel totally at ease and provides really clear directions and adjustments which helps you to understand what each posture is doing for your body. Iyengar has been fantastic for increasing my suppleness, flexibility and strength and has also helped me achieve the focus and calm which is often missing from my daily London life"
Catherine Bickle

"I have had the most fantastic experience learning yoga with Dimple, from the first time she came to see us she was so enthusiastic about teaching us and turning it into a wonderful experience, which is what it is. Dimple is a very calming, encouraging and thorough teacher. I feel our classes are very fulfilling due to her personal touch and her ability to treat everyone as an individual. The feeling of tranquillity and improved state of body and mind after the class makes learning yoga with Dimple a very worthwhile and rewarding experience. Everyone should try it!"
Terry Horgan

"Dimple helps me achieve calmness as I take time for myself during her classes, contrasting completely with the mayhem that can exist during the week. I am learning to apply her principles both in and out of the classes. Dimps is also really bubbly and enthusiastic, a real motivator and inspiring, whilst ensuring a calm and restful class even with Astanga Vinyasa!"
Ruth Sann

"As a complete beginner I have found yoga with Dimple simply amazing. Her instructions are clear, informative and achievable and I have left each class with a real sense of mental and physical invigoration. My tension related "Back" problems have eased and I have found new ways to relax after a hard day at work."
Charlotte Hunter

"I really enjoy my weekly yoga classes with Dimple - she is a great teacher, giving detailed instructions in a clear, calming voice. I am pregnant and I definately feel that my baby is benefiting as much as I am!"
