I’m Fiona, founder and facilitator at VG. I love to host groups. Coming up to our 10th anniversary, VG & me have been blessed with beautiful bespoke groups over the years.

Thank you for a wonderful retreat especially the very gentle yoga that you’d tailored to suit us, the beautiful food and great hospitality. It was just perfect for our group. C, OTET group second year running

Thank you for everything Fiona, it was a wonderful retreat – you have a fabulous place there. It was so good to get to know you better L, OTET group second year running

Viveka Gardens is beautifully peaceful. Fiona does an incredible job of opening her space with gentleness and freedom to just be! There is a real sense of her coming alongside you wherever you are at in life, and I felt very nurtured by two days of yoga – not to mention wonderful vegan food and lots of laughs A Mothers’ and Daughters’ group

I joined a small group of colleagues/fellow travellers in the world for a weekend of sleep, relaxation, beauty and yoga at Fiona’s. It was a gift of a time; the company was wonderful, lots of openness and vulnerability, deep discussion and laughter, as well as being really attentive to the body… making closer friends with it, forgiving it, treating it… Thank you, Fiona, for creating such a regenerative space. T, CF group second year running

Had a fantastic yoga retreat at Viveka gardens. Fiona was wonderful. She had tailored the programme for us in advance, and delivered it with flexibility to meet our needs. Her knowledge of yoga and generosity of spirit was amazing. The food, hospitality and depth of conversations was stunning. Looking forward to going again! D CF group third year running
