I have been coming to byron bay annually for many years and always look forward to going to peters classes. I never know what to expect but what I do know is I will be safe to be myself. I am on holidays and I want to feel good, relax, unwind and slow down. I love the way he creates the space for that to happen. Stephanie. Sydney.

We stayed 3 months in byron and found peter after a couple of weeks, wow, when the student is ready! So much came up, so much happened, my girlfriend is now my wife and we have two children. I could say so much but at the bottom line peter taught us how to love ourselves. Our love continues to grow, we are forever indebted to you.  Brian and Julie Maitland. London, England.

When I first started peter’s classes five years ago I was like a rudderless ship. My life was so confused and full of drama. It’s hard to put my finger on it but I think the fact that in the classes whatever is happening is okay has changed me. Whatever I can do in the poses is enough, when i’m stiff that’s okay, when i’m tired that’s okay, when I am down that’s okay, if I am uptight that’s okay. Something like that. I think his compassion has worn off on me. I no longer seem to be going all over the place, little drama’s continue to happen but I feel happier and my hand is securely on the rudder, I’M OKAY!  Tony Bornhoff. Byron Bay.

“the most compassionate yoga i have ever experienced”  Millie. Melbourne.

“Peter’s understanding and wisdom helped me to stop being so driven and hard on myself” Michael. brisbane.

“Sometimes you meet a teacher who helps you really “get it”.  Alister. Sydney

I did my first yoga class with peter in byron bay four years ago. I think of myself as such a fortunate person because now I know what to expect from a teacher. Kindness, acceptance, permission to be, time for rest, humour, a sense of the sacred and a sense of what’s silly. Bernice, England. 

When I came to byron bay I had been doing Iyengar yoga classes for six years back home. What a shock to the system! You mean yoga can be easy, yoga can be fun. Questioning what I had been doing and all of the effort I had been putting into my practice came up quickly. It took a while longer for me to start to question more deeply “Why”. Why was I doing yoga, what was it all about for me? I have to thank peter for opening my mind to asking more questions of myself as a part of the practice. yoga is not just physical for me anymore. om shanti. shanti shanti. Deborah, San francisco, California.

I came to byron with two girlfriends in 2006 we stayed 3 weeks, we had never done yoga before and went to peter’s classes. The other girls went a few times but I went to every class. How can I thank you for this gift that I have been given. I am only 23 years old and feel like I have received something timeless and yet here with me in every moment.  Evie, Netherlands.
