LORNETTE SMITH, LONDON
“My yoga week with Georgia at Casa Cales was soothing, energising and joyful! We were quite a heterogeneous group, but Georgia managed to respond to everyone personally, whether beginner or yoga pro, young or old! She adapts each exercise so that it works for everyone! Thank you, Georgia! I’ll be back ????.”
ANNE FISSER, GERMANY
“I’m ludicrously pleased to be coming back to Portugal next month and spending another week of just being in the room with your guidance.”
