Reviews

Winterbourne is embedded within 35 acres of rolling Somerset. An idyll - blossom in spring, golden harvests in autumn, winter’s quiet glow. Indulge in farm-to-table dining sourced straight from the land and reconnect with the earth beneath. Its history rests upon deep layers dating half a millennia. The sound of water from the hill-sourced Bullbrook, can be heard from the one-time rectory where light flows through glass and stone. Along every path, the seasonal changes in the year reveal themselves. The blossoming of plants and flowers shift and alter as the elegant garden enhances the house and the historic Winterbourne environs.

Testimonials

info

This was my very first retreat, and I was almost completely new to yoga (I had only taken a couple of classes years ago). I signed up at a time in my life when I truly needed a reset. My energy was very low. What drew me to Yesim’s retreat was the focus on healing and mindfulness, the experience exceeded all my expectations. Over five days, I found myself in an extraordinary environment filled with kindness and positive energy. For the first time, I really connected with my inner self and began a much-needed process of healing. I now feel equipped with tools to stay in tune with my mind, understand myself better, and regulate my emotions. I also completely recharged and returned home feeling renewed. On top of that, I met incredible people from all around the world and shared an experience I will carry with me forever.

Yesim’s yoga retreat exceeded my expectations in every way. The yoga sessions were wonderfully versatile, offering a perfect balance between slower, meditative flows and more dynamic practices, accessible and rewarding for all levels. The retreat offered a diverse and engaging program of activities that added so much depth to the overall experience. From guided nature walks to creative workshops and mindfulness sessions, there was always something enriching to participate in. The location was absolutely stunning! Every detail, from accommodations to meals to scheduling, was handled with care and precision. Overall, this retreat was the ideal blend of movement, reflection, and connection. I left feeling recharged, inspired, and incredibly grateful. Highly recommended!

Yesim lives her calling with every cell of her body. You can feel her energy the moment you step onto the mat. I’ve taken part in many yoga retreats, but the last one with Yesim surpassed them all. Both the location and the group of participants felt perfectly aligned, as if there had been a secret casting beforehand. I had no idea what to expect; I simply got on the plane, and it turned out to be an experience I’ll never forget. From the very first minute, I felt welcomed. Yesim has a very special way of creating space for true connection. We were about twenty international women who had never met before, yet it felt as if we had known each other forever. There was so much laughter, dancing, crying, sweating, and sharing… This retreat was definitely more than just yoga. It was a journey back to myself. Thank you, dear Yesim, for your energy and your honesty.

Dilek Piskin, Germany

Thank you so much for accepting me in your retreat, which was one of the best things I’ve done this year for myself. You’re not only working with passion. You’re also loving, caring and treating us like family. Your soul and personality makes this very unique. What an amazing experience for all of us altogether. We have learned so much about ourselves. Thank you for loving what you do because you’re doing it so well, thank you for sharing your passion. You’re not only a Yoga Teacher or a spiritual guide. I consider you as a dear friend. I’m so glad our paths crossed. Thank you for inspiring me. Can’t wait for the next retreat.

When you practice with Yesim, you can feel that she is naturally gifted and deeply connected to the essence of yoga. There is something truly special about her presence, she carries an authentic energy that helps you discover the same sense of balance and light within yourself. Her calm energy, yoga teaching, and meditation guidance made everything feel effortless, relaxing, and beautifully balanced. Her retreat was incredible! Whether you’re new to yoga, experienced, or simply looking to reconnect with your body and mind, Yesim offers a space where you can open up, breathe, and find peace within yourself. A truly special experience.

Duygu Aksoy, United Kingdom

I can hardly find the words to express how incredibly grateful I am to you for this week. You are such a wonderful person, so beautiful, inside and out. I’m simply happy and deeply thankful to have shared so many meaningful experiences and moments with you. I’m grateful for you, and for every single soul I had the chance to meet. You make us truly happy with the love and dedication you bring to your work. Thank you. It shows a big heart, something truly priceless.

Marina Pintout, USA

I recently attended Yesim’s yoga retreat, and it more than exceeded my expectations. From the moment I arrived, it was clear that every detail was thoughtfully curated for a transformative atmosphere. The yoga sessions played a significant role in the retreat, complemented by mindfulness activities that enriched the overall experience. The stunning venue, with its breathtaking views and serene ambiance, provided a tranquil backdrop for the retreat. Yesim’s gift for cultivating a welcoming environment was evident. She attracted an incredible group of individuals, creating a strong sense of community that made the experience even more rewarding. Her dedication to ensuring everyone felt comfortable and engaged left us all feeling enriched. I want to extend a heartfelt thank you to Yesim for organizing such a wonderful retreat. I wholeheartedly recommend this experience, especially for those seeking mindfulness, personal growth, and a sense of connection.

Neha Dev, United Kingdom

Many years ago I came across a photo of a young woman on a friend’s Instagram account. This woman was smiling with such radiance that I was drawn to her in an instant. I found out who she is and what she does and it wasn’t long until I had my first yoga session with Yesim, that met me right where I was at, pure nourishment for my soul. Through years and distance we’ve kept connected, sometimes only through telepathical wires, but as soon as I get in touch with Yesim, her open and wide heart makes us land right in the moment. I know Yesim to always strive for the utmost highest, in her openness, with her pure heart, in sharing all that she is so generously, in her commitment, with her presence. Being with her for whatever amount of time is a blessing, if you give yourself to the moment… thank you for the bond and the journey together, my dear Yesim.

Eva Varol, Germany

Yesim’s energy and routine are truly unique. She is both personally and professionally highly competent, creating in her retreats an atmosphere of well-being that inspires, grounds, and at the same time invites growth. The retreat was a great enrichment to my life, an experience I will carry in my heart forever!

Hermina Dipl. Mental Coach, Switzerland

My first workshop weekend with Yesim opened a door for me after many years of searching, giving me my first real access to true meditation. The space Yesim creates, her choice of music, her calming voice and the words she chooses resonated with me in complete harmony. For many years now, her videos have been part of my daily yoga routine, bringing me inner calm and a balanced sense of physical well-being, whatever time I have available, whatever my needs or mood. Without Yesim’s yoga, I would not be the person I am today. I start my mornings with her videos, and the distance between Düsseldorf and London melts away thanks to human connection and digital technology… as if she were a friend just around the corner.

Birgit Schwitalla, Germany

This really has been an amazing journey. I cannot describe how thankful I am for the past week!!!! The group was really amazing and inspiring for me. I learned a lot about yoga and the whole world around it. I definitely want to continue this lifestyle and spread all the positive energy you always show us. Thank you so much, so so so so much.

Thekla-Sophie Gottschalk, Germany

I don’t even know where to begin… I first saw you back at university – such a pure soul, such an angelic light. This was my fourth yoga trip with you, and it was unbelievably beautiful, full of learning, joy, laughter, happiness, love, respect, and prayers. It was unique and high-quality! Those beautiful conversations, your incredible soul, your heart so full of love and kindness… That’s what makes you so special and one of a kind. Your heart is open to everyone – and may it always stay that way.

Belgin Gülsen, Germany

Through this week, the warm-hearted people, and your wonderful teaching, I was truly able to let go and reconnect. Thank you for your openness, your passion, and everything you pour into this space. It’s contagious and lifts everyone with it. You radiate an incredible amount of energy and love. I’m so happy we were able to connect so deeply. I truly believe in you!

Maria Sinkowitz, Germany

Our voyage has ended, but our journey has just begun. I am eternally grateful for this experience. I’ve never smiled so much in my life. I take away with me a sense of courage and everlasting peace, and so many precious moments shared.

Canon Price, USA

You are such a wonderful person, and on this cruise you showed me – and all of us – who you truly are deep in your heart. So much love, deep emotion, and your contagious, positive energy made this week at sea something truly special. I’m so deeply thankful for this incredibly beautiful experience. As I already told you, I couldn’t have dreamed it any better.

Annabell Mann, Germany

If you are included in Yesim’s retreat, you won’t need to think about anything else. You just go with the flow. I experienced unforgettable days. Yesim’s Yoga retreat is a must. I had my first one last year, the second this year, and have already reserved my place for next year. There’s no more to say…

Rabia Edali, Turkey

I’m so thankful that I met you in Düsseldorf. You inspired me with yoga, but the most with your positive energy. This week is the best thing ever what I did for myself! Because of you I opened my heart for myself. And your voice… my advice to you: please talk always… Never stop with this and make a meditation app or something!

Marina Roelofsen, Netherlands

Thanks for organizing a retreat full of joy, spirit, yoga, meditation, healthy food – and thank you for sharing the people you’ve met before and your family. I deeply appreciate having this space to question myself and take time to find the answers. Everything just flowed. You’re right: find your fears, face them, and build the life you would love to live – step by step. See you soon on another retreat.
