"Thank you so much for being part of our launch day. Your Face Training and Face Yoga presentation was very strong and you came across beautifully. I was very impressed by your knowledge and compassion for our product. I will ensure that we involve you in future projects!"

Emily Woolliscroft, Nintendo UK

Nicola Blunt

"You were absolutely brilliant at the launch day, thank you so much for being so engaging and enthusiastic about the product.  The journalists seemed genuinely excited by Face Training, it is so much better being talked through the concept and the game than just receiving the information about it, so thank you!"

Nicola Blunt, PR for Bell Pottinger on behalf on Nintendo UK

"We are all aware of how exercising can improve the shape and tone of your body, but what about your face? Danielle Collins, yoga expert, spent years studying the face, and applied her knowledge of yoga and anatomy to create ‘Face Yoga!’.

I went along for a taster session with the Guru herself…… We started out sitting face to face, and I told her about my ‘problem’ areas – mainly frown lines and a softening jaw line. Danielle said these were both easy areas to target and we so we got down to some face yoga! It was a little like gurning at each other, which did make me giggle, but I was surprised by how quickly I felt the burn in the targeted muscles – just like the last rep of a resistance exercise. The resistance in face
yoga is created by using your fingers to gently ‘pull’ a muscle whilst working against the pull.

Danielle herself looks amazing with a very open and taut face, and she really knows what she is talking about. I went away feeling really refreshed, with my cd and poster to practice at home, and I look forward to my very own knife-free face lift!"

 “I really enjoyed my facial yoga session with Danielle. Once I got over my initial embarrassment at pulling strange faces, I found some really useful stress busting strategies, especially pinching my ear lobes in three strategic spots. It made my face flush and I felt an energy surge.”

"Danielle worked tightly to our brief to create a Yoga move that perfectly illustrated our ‘Time to Take a deep Breath’ strategy. She met all our deadlines and gave us more than we asked for. We worked with her in person on a photo shoot where we found her to be very professional and again she came with additional ideas. Thanks Danielle!"

Dream Botanicals "We found the work-out enjoyable, relaxing and energising. And after a few days of trying it, I’m pretty certain it works, especially on the dreaded under-eye puffiness. You can buy the workout on a cd from Danielle Collins’ face yoga website – highly recommended."

"At the Vitality Show I went and found Sweaty Betty's own Danielle Collins for a 20 minute face yoga treat.  Danielle is such a fun, engaging, knowledgeable presenter.  If you've yet to try one of her sessions then I'd thoroughly recommend that you seek her out!  Having been a little sleep deprived of late, the exercises gave my face a real lift and it was pretty funny sitting in the middle of Earls Court pulling lots of silly faces! Also, Danielle really inspires you. Sometimes it can feel like you're treading the same road as everyone else but it takes someone like Danielle to realise that with dedication, you can really stand out."

"Danielle Collins has been my yoga teacher for nearly two years. My progress during that time has been beyond my dreams. Systematically she has gently urged me through stretching and supporting positions to develop a flexibility that I never believed I would regain. Before I suffered chronic back pain from herniated discs. Now, I am mostly pain free and do yoga by myself if I am not doing a class with Danielle. She is the best yoga teacher in the world. Thank you."

Professor Alyson Warhurst - Chief Executive Officer of Maplecroft.
Jo Niblett

"I approached Danielle following surgery to my back and after my first session with her I knew I had made the right choice. Danielle has been everything that I needed in a pilates teacher – kind, encouraging, enthusiastic, endlessly cheerful and willing to laugh at my jokes but at the same time determined to push me that little bit further than I think I can go.  In the 2 months since I started with her I have noticed a huge change already – in my mobility, flexibility and confidence as well as a welcome change in my toning which I hope to build on. Danielle has been careful of my back and mindful of my limitations without that meaning that I stagnate week by week.  I feel I have made quite a lot of progress and for the first time have felt enthused and keen to do my homework and motivated to keep improving and that has had a lot to do with Danielle’s encouragement and her ability to keep my programme interesting and challenging without it becoming a chore.

I am certainly feeling more flexible and comfortable, as well as protecting my damaged back, than I have for years.  I cannot recommend Danielle highly enough for pilates."

Pregnancy

"Sessions with Danielle have been extremely helpful in my recovery from symptoms both during and after pregnancy. I particularly like her holisitc approach. I have already recommended her to various friends and family members."

Katherine Jory

Sarah Morris

"I had one to one pregnancy pilates sessions with Danielle in the 3 months before giving birth, and these individual classes not only helped me to relax and stay focused during pregnancy, but they also helped hugely with my breathing and ability to have no pain relief during labour.

Danielle provides a warm, friendly but professional feel to her sessions, and provides an excellent session regardless to whether it is on that one to one basis or as part of a larger class."

Sarah Morris, Owner of Sarah's Wedding Service

Claire Watson

"I have known Danielle for the past 8 years now and her passion for yoga, nutrition and well being always continues to grow. She is very confident and calm in her teaching and you feel instantly at ease. After my yoga sessions with Danielle I felt strong, energised and very relaxed. The way that Danielle incorporates her love of yoga and nutrition into her own life is an inspiration to us all."

Claire Watson, Owner of Bath Yummy Mummies

Bath WI

"Danielle made the perfect WI speaker – informative, professional & made us laugh! The whole session was excellent fun & even though we did look rather silly on occasion - the benefits of regular facial yoga sessions were obvious – we all had aching cheeks the next day! Who would have thought you could give your face such a work out. Thanks Danielle."

Melanie Roberts, Bath WI

Simon Ridley

Chris Kay

"I have been following Danielle`s Face Yoga by using her CD for over a year now and use it between 5 and 7 days a week. It has helped my skin to stay supple and has slowed the process of wrinkles developing and am often told that I look over 5 years younger than I am!!! The Face Yoga has helped balance my skin tone and gives me a healthy glow. I am always recommending it to others!"

Chris Kay (age 44)

Hester

"The Face Yoga program of Danielle is easy to follow and more importantly brings great results. I use it in particular in winter, when my face needs a bit of colour and blossoming. I have been surprised that friends and family around me noticed the benefits after just a few weeks using the CD. I am always encouraged to do some face yoga for the purpose of relaxation as well. It is amazing how the facial exercises have an impact on relaxing the whole body."

Hester (age 32)

Nutrition

"Danielle is enthusiastic and highly motivated and has helped me achieve a healthier lifestyle.  With her guidance and work outs at the gym I have reduced my dress size from a 22 to a 16 and am feeling much stronger and fitter.  I am continuing with the plan and hope to do even better in the future.  I have also lost the feelings of guilt I would normally associate with taking treats.  I feel better about myself, my mood has improved and I would reccommend Danielle to others."

Meryl Williams, Nutrition Client

Luke Harfield

"Danielle has been my Yoga teacher for a year or more now. I decided to start Yoga after taking up karate, having played a lot of football and cricket over the years it quickly became apparent that my flexibility and core strength was quite poor. Danielle has worked wonders for me and the results showed dividends after the first couple of sessions. She has used a mixture of Yoga, Pilates and assisted stretching to really move me on at a continuously good pace. I have benefited from the results in all of my chosen sports, especially karate where even my fellow students have asked, 'What have you done to progress so well?'. My answer to them is 'Yoga!!'.

Danielle has been a brilliant help to me in so many areas and I intend to continue lessons for a very long time.

Simply a great Yoga teacher.

Thank you. "
