Penny and Rosie Martin - BYB June 2016

Flora – September 2015
What a special space The Lotus Pad is. Inspiring yoga has aided me so much with my post-op hip challenges and reminded me of its healing and totally welcoming warmth. Wendy you are blessed with such unique talent and you combine all yoga’s elements together so beautifully – meditation and breathwork serving as big a purpose as the asanas. Neil, thank you for such scrummy food – each meal was exactly what I fancied and you have a huge ability to keep dishes simple whilst mixing flavours and colours. Thank you. I look forward to visiting Ibiza again soon and will certainly look into another retreat and most definitely recommend your place to friends. Namaste and shanti.
Roberta – August 2015
I spent a wonderful time. Wonderful place, lovely people, intense yoga, relaxation, beautiful beaches and super food. It was when I needed it. I hope to come here soon! Grazie Miue.
Niamh - May/June 2015
It would be impossible to sat the The Lotus Pad and not be affected by the lemon tree, apricots, expansive skies, space, sunshine, energy and cockerel serenades. All the love and care taken to make the Lotus Pad the nice place it is totally worth it. I hope it remains a sanctuary for fun, interesting and lovely people for a long, long time.
Amber Felix -May 2015
Wendy what can I say? It was just as fabulous the second time around. Again I come stiff as a board and I’ve left supple and light. Your food, yoga and everything was wonderful. Feel totally revived and refreshed. Thank you so much and see you soon. Xx
Pam – April 2015
This is my 5th stay at the “Pad” and as always I’ve had a beautiful stay with you in your lovely home. Thanks so much for welcoming me so warmly. Wendy for the consistently great teaching in asana, meditation and pranayama. (The dynamic meditation was a new one for me – lots of fun). Thanks also for your friendship, always a pleasure to get to know you more. Neil – entertaining as always and delicious food – thank you. Jeanette – gorgeous massage. Until next time. Xxx
Rachel Calvert – New Year 2014/15
Without doubt the best start to a new year ever. Thank you for being a lovely, generous teacher. The Lotus Pad is very special and I will be back. Also thank you for feeding me so well. I feel great!. Namaste.
Sarah – September 22nd 2014
Where to begin! I was looking for an affordable yoga holiday and was not sure what to expect. What I experienced was deep-rooted, pure and honest yoga, a beautiful setting, a warm and helpful welcome and space to come back to myself and the important things in life, breath, light, love, joy. What you have here is so unique and it works perfectly. I will certainly recommend you to friends…not too many mind you as I don’t want the secret getting too out there. Lastly I have a belief that people make places, this has been so true of the Lotus Pad.
Barbara – June 14th 2014
I didn’t think that only 6 days of paradise could take all the stress from a crazy 4 months but now I am ready to go back it feels like it did. The yoga was great, gentle yet tough, the breakfast was awesome (thanks Neil) – so were the stories during breakfast. The island had so much to offer. I will be back for more. It’s reassuring to know that this place exists and there is always a way to get away from it all and recharge. Thanks for everything.
Rachel Emslie-Henry - December 2013
I was pretty new to yoga when I stumbled across Wendy Buttery's classes in India last year. My practice with her over the course of about 2 and a half months changed my body, my ability and my outlook. I'm now in India again, practicing at the Patabis Jois shala in Mysore... if Wendy was in India, I'd be with her instead! A class with Wendy always teaches you something new and her readings and thoughts of the day give you something to think about long after the sweating stops. Away from the shala, Wendy is huge fun, sometimes surprisingly irreverent and someone it's always good to be around. Her partner in crime, Neil, is not too shabby either... as well as being a great cook. The new Lotus Pad in Ibiza looks fabulous and at the top of my list of places to visit next. Wherever you are with your practice, classes with Wendy have so much to offer; so come on people, let's get those cheap flights booked and get bendy with Wendy xx
Alex Hazelrigg - June 2013
Thank you such a wonderful week of calm restoration and lots of downward dogs! The Pad has a glorious atmosphere and I came here so broken and tense. I honestly feel like a new person. I shall miss the fruit breakfasts,the meditation and of course the abundant lessons. x
Lucy Bates - May 2013
Wow! What a special, amazing place this is. Every day has been fantastic. I feel chilled and rested and stretched. Thank you so much for your beautiful yoga, lovely hospitality and delicious, long, lazy breakfast, It inspired me. Thank you, thank you. See you again very soon.
Karen & Jason (Retreat with Wendy July 2012)
Thank you so much for your wonderful open-hearted hostng of us here at the Lotus Pad. The yoga was wonderful and inspiring re-boot to vitality. Thank you again Wendy for your subtle, skillful teaching. We learned so much. And Neil- you lovingly made us delicious, nourishing food over which we shared so many great laughs and stories of travels past. May it continue to be a great adventure and wishing many blessings on the seeds you are planting here. Om shanti shanti shantihi.
Amy (July 2012) "Thank you for making me feel completely at home. Thank you for opening me up to yoga again. Thank you for being warm and loving people. Hopefully our paths will cross again."
Kirstie Jarams and Anita Jones (June 2012)
"The Lotus Pad is such a beautiful yet simple place. You and Neil have done a fab job. It is so relaxed, being able to come and go when you want and at the same time being so open and friendly - many good memories around that table enjoying Neil's breakfasts and laughing a lot. You introduced us to amazing yoga, made us wonderful breakfasts, we met lovely people. We stayed for longer and didn't want to leave...ever."
Thanks so much for the peace, calm and tranquility. It's been absolutely magic. Keep on doing what you're doing. You don't need to change a thing. See you next year.
