People from around the world who have been on the courses share
their comments with each other. These are the feedback comments from 2005 Yoga Retreats/Holidays with James Jewell.
Our yoga retreat class encompassed yoga beginners (me), experienced yoga instructors, and everyone in between. James took great care that we were all challenged to extend to the edge of our abilities but never past them. The result was that I grew stronger and more flexible through effort but never pain.
I think it is a mark of James' gifts as a teacher that our class developed a tremendous esprit de corps. Under his guidance we learned not only from his deep yoga experience but also from each other. I miss both James and my fellow students and look forward to studying with them again.. Love Ann. USA |

My week with you was quite amazing and most enjoyable. I most certainly didn't want to leave Molina del Rey.
The 25 plus hours of yoga I did were most enjoyable and I hope I learnt a lot, if only how to relax more.
Many thanks for your successful organisation of the week and of all the hard work you put into it.

I also wanted to tell you again how grateful I am to you. I said I had high expectations because I always have a feeling for things and I knew it was going to be right for me. I've been on the road to healing/recovery for a long time, and have come such a long way, but I just knew that this week was going to be a culmination of sorts.
Thank you most of all for your sense of humour....!!! , Brenda. France |

The week at the center was such a cool experience!
Everyone was just so nice and cute, and I really miss all of them...
I hope to stay in touch with as many of my new yoga buddies as possible.
You're an awesome yoga teacher, and even though the lessons were tough sometimes, I really enjoyed it! You were really caring and understanding, which made it so much more fun :)
The center is so gorgeous and I'll definitely come back next year. You can count
on me ;) Evelyn,

| Thanks for being there alongside. Here we found space to relax, breathe, discover, become stronger, laugh, come to the edge, melt fears heal, deepen.. and be still. You included each and encouraged us at own pace. Your acceptance of us (and our limits) helped us to accept ourselves. Your warmth led us safely to unfold. Sabina, USA |

Hello to all,
A big `Thank you` for the messages and sharing the lovely
photos with us - really fantastic memories. Already seems
such a long time ago but maybe, just maybe some of us
 will
get to meet up again there! That would be lovely.....
It was indeed just like being part of a special extended
family for a week.
Its hard to put into words what this week has meant for me. Thank you for your encouragement, warmth, concern, support and love- it really does shine through. I am committed to continue on with this exploration. You have been so important to this. Thank you. John, USA |

James, I arrived as you know with a dodgy neck, bad shoulder, tired from a family holiday and jet lagged. On the first evening in the meditation cave I said that I was there to have some space for myself to explore ,and to share with others.
What I did experience was so much more than that. I really did explore my body pushing to the edge in the asanas, nothing new but with time to really experience , breathe and feel, thank you for your perceptive guidance and for enabling us all to work and support each other.
I was able to spend time with pranayama and felt uplifted and comforted by the shared meditations. It was a powerful experience to sit in the meditaion cave on my own as the sun rose each morning while others sat having a prayer meeting at the entrance, what a special place that is.
I experienced the healing of sunshine, laughter, the wonderful overtone and chanting time and of course the magical drumming. Please pass on my thanks. I especially thank you for your generosity of time, spirit and heart and the wonderful healing.
Of course the week was much more than this, the amazing food prepared with such love, the in depth discussions, the dreams , the meteor storm the sharing of experiences and very special time with other wonderful newly formed friends....
Thank you so much for all of the week, whatever you say in your humility about needing the group, you are the channel and the catalyst that enabled this wonderful week to take place and molino del rey is a very special place that we are so blessed to have been able to share. Jill, UK |
