My journey with Freedom Yoga began with the words, “I want to do what you do.” Through Jackie’s teaching and my 200-hour YTT, I was held through both darkness and light, supported in ways I didn’t yet understand. Her retreats offer a rare space of deep rest, safety, and renewal. Jackie’s teaching has been truly life-changing.

I joined Jax on her yoga retreat in Thailand (my third retreat with her) and it was truly special. Jax anticipated every comfort while thoughtfully arranging activities that immersed us in local, environmentally kind ways of living. Rustic and humbling, the experience challenged Western ideals, brought us closer to ourselves, and allowed us to meet ourselves fully.

Freedom Yoga Retreats has been a grounding, joyful and deeply nourishing experience, bringing a sense of ease and openness that allows real connection formed through movement, laughter, and meaningful conversation. Strangers quickly feel like friends. Jax & Sun Fyr offer me space to be fully myself—supported, cared for, and free—while feeling held by a warm, welcoming community.

Freedom yoga and retreats has given me life lasting memories of some of the most amazing destinations you could wish to visit . I’ve met some of the most incredible people and life long friends. Freedom retreats are like no other such wonderful experiences and truly incredible people. Thank you Jackie x

Yoga freedom retreats was the uplifting soul finding experience I needed.

Going through a divorce, looking to love me again…I was lost but the genuine love and support from everyone at freedom on the yoga retreats to Morocco and Thailand brought me the clarity and confidence I needed.

I’d recommend Jackie’s passion for yoga and awe inspiring energy to everyone.

As a complete beginner to yoga I quickly understood there would be no judgement. I went into the retreat with an open heart, and this is what was returned to me. Jackie is a brilliant teacher and guide, and the Thai people were beautiful and welcoming. So, if you get the chance, GO!

Freedom Yoga and Retreats (and Jackie) have genuinely helped me return to and rediscover myself. After two retreats in the last three years (Thailand and Greece) I’ve grown personally, developed my love of yoga, rekindled my love for adventure and travel, and leave feeling inspired, grounded and renewed. I wholeheartedly recommend her retreats.

Having been a keen yogi for many years I persuaded my husband (a complete novice to yoga) to join me on a Freedom Yoga Retreat in Thailand March 25. The retreat was a wonderful experience from the very start. Friendly people, two fabulous yoga teachers led to us returning home feeling relaxed and totally rejuvenated….. so much so that we are returning again in February ‘26.

I have been on 6 Freedom Yoga Retreats with Jax now and each has been truly memorable, for all the best reasons: a deepening knowledge and experience of yoga for sure but also meaningful and very enjoyable connections with the other retreaters, adventure, greater knowledge of and wonderful experiences in the beautiful and inspiring settings, lots and lots of fun, and always a very welcome disconnecting from life’s busy-ness and a reconnecting with myself. I cannot recommend them more highly.

I attended two Freedom Yoga and Retreats led by Jax, one in Thailand and one in Nepal. Both were unforgettable experiences! As my introduction to yoga, the retreats were welcoming, inspiring, and accessible. A perfect blend of practice, travel and community.

Jax has a warm and welcoming presence- she teaches from her heart with a vast knowledge of yoga,and insight into human nature which is very grounding and calming. My first retreat in Thailand has opened a new chapter for me and I can’t wait for the next one

“A most unexpectedly enriching experience. I loved the accommodation, the yoga and Tai Chi, the food, and the daily rhythm. The excursions, the free day, kayaking and scooters — it genuinely blew my mind.

Independent travel built my confidence, and the group made it even richer. The guided yoga encouraged self-discovery through mindfulness, journalling and breathwork. Jackie’s enthusiasm is boundless. If you’re seeking adventure, inspiration and real connection — take the leap.”

I'm lucky enough to have been to two Freedom Yoga Retreats in Thailand, the first in 2023 changed my life by starting my yoga journey. Meeting locals, spending time in nature, incredible trips and experiencing my surroundings with mindfulness and curiosity taught me to be present. Thank you so much!

My time with Freedom Yoga is without a doubt one of the greatest weeks of my life. The Thai islands provide an idyllic backdrop for a week of practice, and there is plenty to explore and experience. The yoga is accessible yet thorough and varies throughout the week; there is time to reflect and release as well as time to energise and nourish. Freedom Yoga an opportunity to connect with likeminded people, and most importantly to connect with yourself. I will always cherish the memories of my week in Thailand.

I went on my first retreat to Thailand in 2025. From the moment we arrived we were looked after. From the yoga, the amazing food, trips out on kayaks and sailing on the traditional long boats to visit some of the smaller islands. The whole trip was amazing, and I cannot wait to go back next year.

Community. Adventure. Loving yoga. Spectacular scenery. A retreat with a difference which can be felt and sensed. Just the break I needed to renew myself and reconnect with Nature and my Inner Being.

Thailand islands on a yoga retreat. Tai chi on the beach to welcome the sunrise to exceptional yoga teachings in a serene yoga shala. I didnt know a soul when I arrived and left with lifelong friends. A life changing experience. Thank you for your guidance, friendship and wisdom Jaxx. Am so looking forward to seeing you again in another beautiful location.

Magical! This was our first retreat and first trip to Thailand. The energy from Jax and Nicki ensured we immediately felt at home. It was spiritual of course, but kind and caring and we laughed a lot of the time. We felt like we were wrapped in a warm blanket that tickled sometimes. We smiled all the way home and knew we would come back.

Every now and then you find yourself in a space that wakes up a little place inside of you that changes forever.

For that I am truly grateful.

Each unique. Every one filled with connection, love, laughter and adventure.

Thank you Jaxx

Although I have loved yoga for years, I wasn’t sure that retreats would be for me. I was wrong! Freedom Yoga Retreats are a wonderfully precious space for whatever you need them to be. I always leave them with peace, clarity and feeling a bit more like ‘me’ than before!

I have enjoyed weeks of yoga fun laughter making beautiful memories with soo many lovely people this year in Thailand and Nepal.

I am so excited for 2026 to experience travelling again with Jax @ freedom yoga.

I was so inspired by Jax that I am now doing my YTT

My mind and body feels alive again.

The whole experience was so much more than yoga, Jax has put her heart and soul into ensuring every moment delivers what you from challenging or restorative yoga, a time to pause or reflect, friendships and laughter, self-care, mindfulness and thought. Activities to make you feel at one with the jewels and culture of Thailand. freedom yoga released the best version of myself that had been mislaid on life’s journeys . I will certainly be doing another one (or two or three)

I’ve been to Freedom Retreats in Nepal and Thailand. Both were so special. Each retreat met me where I was and changed me in different ways. They were healing and transformative. Jackie creates such a safe, supportive space that I always come away able to make real, lasting change.

After suddenly being widowed I needed some self care, so after only a few yoga sessions I flew to Thailand for a retreat with Freedom. Not knowing what to expect it was the best thing I could of done. It was like a relaxing, rejuvenating detox wrapped in a hug. I've made lifelong friends & have already booked my next one.

I struggle to think of a more serene, happy and awe inspiring time in my life than the Thailand retreat. Curated to perfection by a woman who cares so deeply about other people and their well-being. In an environment I couldn’t have even dreamed up. Truly a life affirming experience.

I discovered Jackie last July while searching for yoga training after two years of looking. From the moment I found her, I knew. Jackie is an exceptional teacher who creates a beautifully relaxed environment. I’m so grateful and excited to experience one of her breathtaking retreats next year. Highly recommended.

When deciding to do yoga teacher training, I was really anxious… so finding Jackie to learn from was a blessing. She is a beautiful person, who creates a space where everyone is welcome. Her warmth, knowledge and eloquent way of speaking makes learning with her an absolute dream. Through her YTT, she helped me find my voice, courage and also importantly, a wonderful friend and mentor.

What can I say…. Apart from amazing. Everything I wanted in a yoga teacher training, and more. For me it was important to learn the true essence of yoga… not just an asana or pranayama practice. Jackie teaches with heart, skill, professionalism, nurture, thoroughness, creativity and wisdom. An unforgettable journey, not only professionally but on a personal level too. Thank you so much.

Thailand reset my nervous system in the best way. Jaxx held the retreat with calm confidence, warmth, and real depth—every class felt safe, grounded, and quietly powerful. She saw people properly, met us where we were, and helped us go further than we thought possible, giving us the space to find our answers and make connections in so many ways.

The timing was perfectly serendipitous when I bumped into Jax; having not practiced yoga with her since I was pregnant over 13 years ago, I'm now on her 200 hour yoga teacher training course.

I'm loving my training with Jax. Everyone relates to her, she is a true inspiration! Jax is knowledgeable, a realist and has core yogic values that drive us to be the best versions of ourselves.

Freedom Yoga Retreats has been a grounding, joyful and deeply nourishing experience, bringing a sense of ease and openness that allows real connection formed through movement, laughter, and meaningful conversation. Strangers quickly feel like friends. Jax & FYR offer me space to be fully myself—supported, cared for, and free—while feeling held by a warm, welcoming community.

I truly loved my yoga teacher training with Jackie. Yoga philosophy, historical texts, business skills, and practical understanding were taught clearly in a friendly, fun, and supportive way. The experience became a profound turning point in my life, shaping my path and leaving memories and lessons I will cherish forever.

I couldn't have hoped for a more inspiring environment to begin my professional journey into yoga.

I completed my yoga teacher training with Jax and then returned to complete my children's yoga teacher training. Jax's knowledge and passion for yoga are infectious. Her magic spark that she shares so freely makes you believe that you can succeed in anything! I loved being part of the powerful community she built during our training. Can't recommend enough!

This training was truly transformative, inspiring, and full of joy. It felt community-driven, empowering, and deeply supportive. Jackie is an incredible teacher - guiding with wisdom, care, and heart. By the end, she and my peers felt like family.

Yoga Teacher Training with Jackie at Freedom Yoga and Retreats was a truly transformative experience.

Her depth of knowledge, grounded wisdom and authentic presence created a learning environment that felt both empowering and deeply supportive.

Jackie doesn't just teach Yoga, she embodies it, weaving philosophy, anatomy and mindfulness into every session with clarity and compassion.

I feel incredibly grateful for her guidance and would highly recommend her teacher training to anyone seeking an inspiring and heart-centered path into Yoga.

Finding Freedom yoga was a pivotal moment for me. Doing my YTT was a dream I had for a long time, but never found the right time or the right training. I like to think Freedom Yoga found me as much as I found it, and along with it the most incredible teacher I could wish for. Jackie pours her heart into her teachings, making the course deeply meaningful. It was life changing for me. I loved being apart of this community, we built strong connections because Jackie leads with an open heart, when you’re shown vulnerability it makes it safe to be vulnerable too. I loved every part of my training.

Freedom Yoga and Retreats represented by Jackie taught me the basics of yoga. I have gone through the journey of completing my Yoga Teacher Training with Jackie, where I learned yoga philosophy, postures (asanas), physiology and safe teaching of all of this to wonderful people wanting to feel the benefits of yoga. Jackie has made the whole experience into a great journey with laughter, conversation, easy to access and clear information and wholesome communication. Time flew by! It has really been an experience of a lifetime and I wish I could do it again! Thank you Jackie!!

Attending Jax’s yoga classes for the first time earlier this year I was immediately struck by her warmth, depth of knowledge and ability to communicate the deeper aspects of yoga along with the asanas in an engaging and unique way. I am now on her Yoga Teacher Training course.
