When I first started taking classes I was quite nervous but I fell in love with pilates instantly. I learned how to breath, how to move and where to focus when moving my body. I was new to it so I was clueless at first but Feren, Lisa, Sneha and Shaye were always there to guide me step by step, suggesting different options so I didn’t feel intimidated or left behind, thinking that I'm not strong enough. If It was about just doing poses and reps I would've gotten bored and stopped after a few classes, but every time I practice, whether it is reformer pilates or mat pilates or yoga, they wereÂ

Excellent experience. All the instructors are patient and nice, especially Feren and Sneha. Also, they are professional. People who take the same classes are very nice as well. I extremely like the Reformer Pilate. Feren and Sneha taught me how to do it correctly so that we will not hurt ourselves and practice the correct muscle. Beginner and intermediate have different options in class. I like it.

Feren and the team do an awesome job. Always supportive of those with injuries and generous with advice. Meditation and sound practice is extremely relaxing, especially when Feren uses the bowls!. They have maintained valuable online classes during the Covid19 lockdown which helped keep us both active and calm. In that time I have discovered their Yin Yoga classes which were a revelation. Mat pilates class is challenging (as it should be) and Basics Yoga class at a level suitable for a beginner like myself but also great for those with more experience. Check out the special sound workshops they

It is so wonderful to discover Downward Duck & co, a warm and welcoming studio. Very clean and well maintained. Small classes, comforting with a holistic approach. As a beginner it has been challenging, but Feren and her team are very supportive and helpful, always provide with possible options of adjustment or alternate postures. A one-stop shop, with many classes per week to choose both in studio and online. All the teachers are great, positive and highly attentive. Each class feels unique and refreshing, I really enjoy Yin sessions with music which gives body and mind a deep relaxation. I highly

Feren & her team run a wonderful studio. Instructors & participants are all friendly & welcoming, a good timetable, small class size, reasonable prices and a clean comfy studio. I've had 4 different instructors and all took the time to hear out my 'special needs' & work with me. They also encourage a community feel with lots of social & charity events.

Feren is a great instructor & I love the small, intimate classes she provides! Being new to yoga, I’ve really enjoyed the welcoming environment at Downward Duck and never feel intimidated or overwhelmed.
There are plenty of classes to choose from whether I feel like having a workout or just chilling out and I love that I can set my own pace no matter which one I’m in.

Downward Duck and Co (run by Feren Yen) offer a wide range of yoga classes which are fun and challenging. There are plenty of classes to choose from depending on what you want to gain out of the experience. Each class has been carefully prepared using different yoga styles and techniques in order to target specific muscle groups, help you relax, improve flexibility and much more.
I attend the move and core classes which I highly recommend. Move covers a balanced program working all areas of the body where as core focuses more on your core muscles.
Feren is a great instructor who is extremely
