With love and gratitude to the following

Osho

I offer my deepest love and gratitude to Osho. It was through his teachings that my inner search began. And it was through his spiritual therapy that I spontaneousy experienced the state of yoga.

"To know oneself is to know all. And that is the only thing I emphasize; no belief, no dogma, no creed, no church, no religion. By a simple process of inner observation you come to realize yourself... Truth is within – seek not elsewhere." - Osho

Thank you Osho. In light, Neo.

Ariane Pieper

I offer my love and gratitude to Ariane who is the very best assistant I could ever hope for. Her practical support and hands on class assistance during our Yoga Detox weeks in Portugal makes for a very special experience for me and for our guests. I feel so blessed to have her in my life as a friend and fellow traveller on the path of yoga. Thanks also to her beloved partner and dear friend of mine, John for letting her spend so much on the road with me in Portugal! Thank you Ariane, Neo.

Elaine Moreton

I offer my love and gratitude to my mother, Elaine. She is a loving, wise and caring mother as well as being a highly qualified woman and expert in the field of child education for the last 30 years. She manages the administration of yoga retreat bookings for me in London and is a real joy to work with. As well as being super trustworthy and organised, she is herself a fully qualified British Wheel of Yoga teacher of adults and children and actively promotes the benefits of the path of yoga and meditation in schools. Thank you dearly mum, Neo.

David Toms

I love working with David. His professionalism and unrivalled experience, together with his natural talent and artistry are what makes David so great to work with.

Having learnt his trade the old fashioned way, lots of hard work, hours in the dark room and apprentice to some of the world's most renowned photographers, David's work reflects his dedication and eye for detail. David is a long time meditator and Bhakti yogi (the path of devotion) too and so we speak the same language. All is god, all is good. Thanks David, you are a star - keep clicking brother. Neo.
