Manlee is an exceptional practitioner. Having attended her yoga workshop and two of her sound baths, I am consistently impressed by her expertise. She beautifully explains not only what she is doing, but the purpose and reasoning behind it. I gladly travel an hour each way just to attend her sessions—that is how worthwhile they are. I cannot recommend her highly enough; she is absolutely superb.
Thank you!

Manlee is an amazing instructor, calm, patient and very clear instructions
Her small classes making the teaching a very personal experience. I have now attended six classes and have learnt so much about moving and positioning my body correctly. Historic back pain is much easier to manage I cannot recommend her classes highly enough

Wow what a fantastic teacher Manlee is. I attended her arm balance workshop recently and thoroughly enjoyed the whole experience. Manlee pushes you to your maximum ability in a way that is patient, kind yet motivating. It wasn’t just about rushing into the balances but focusing on the preparation to give you the confidence to try. I came away feeling stronger and more aware of how to position my body to hold the balances. I would happily recommend Manlee’s arm balance workshop whatever your ability

Manlee is a wonderful yoga teacher with such a calming presence and soothing voice. Her guided meditation helped me drop into a much deeper state of mind and feel truly connected with myself.

Her sound healing journey was unique and amazing. You can really feel the depth of her experience and professionalism, not only as a sound healer and hypnotherapist, but also through her background in cross-cultural psychology. Through her kindness, gentle guidance and caring approach, Manlee created a wellness experience that felt not only deeply relaxing, but also personally transformative, helping me connect more deeply with myself and my subconscious mind. I left feeling peaceful, restored and lighter.

Highly recommend Manlee to anyone looking for yoga, meditation or a truly special sound bath experience.

I have been attending Manlee’s Blissful Stretch & Yoga Nidra for Better Sleep class for a few months now. Manlee is a brilliant instructor who takes the time to make sure I am doing the stretches correctly. Her attention to detail is amazing. Even in a full class, I feel as if it was a private session. Each class is different, and I feel better after each class and sleep better that night. I have been having lower back issues, but this class has improved the issues that I was having. I can not recommend her class enough

Manlee runs thoughtful and carefully curated wellness retreats in beautiful spaces. I especially like the way that you always learn something new - such as sound bowl playing or calligraphy, and how Manlee shares about other cultures with us, in addition to the mindfulness, yoga and sound healing practices.

I cannot recommend Manlee highly enough! She is a truly gifted and highly skilled yoga teacher, and as someone who is new to yoga this year, I have been made to feel very welcome in her classes.  Every class has a different feel and focus which feels very meaningful whilst also being relaxed and easily adaptable to different skill levels.
Manlee is always in tune and aware of the different needs of those she teaches and the language used throughout is encouraging and reassuring. She definitely knows how to bring out the best in us all as individuals which is wonderful!

Manlee is wonderfully knowledgable and kind yoga instructor. She always puts together wonderful sessions and gives plenty of pose variations to suit all levels, whilst also having the kind of energy that makes you want to see what more you can do. I very much look forward to my class every week, and always leave feeling relaxed, empowered and fulfilled 💖

I’ve been practising yoga on and off for the past ten years, largely because consistency for me depends on finding the right instructor. I can honestly say I am so so so grateful to have found Manlee. She has brought me back to my yoga practice.
Manlee has an incredible ability to guide you through each posture with clarity, care and attention to correct technique and breathing. She is a wonderfully calming and gentle presence, and she brings this energy into the  practice.
I've also done the Sound Bath experience and it transported me to my inner child world. It was unexpectedly amazing, powerful and so peaceful.
I can’t recommend Manlee highly enough, and I’m so happy to have rediscovered yoga through her guidance.

I can’t recommend Manlee highly enough as a stretch-and-mobility teacher. From the moment you step into her class, she creates a warm, welcoming environment that immediately puts you at ease, no matter your level of experience or flexibility.

What really sets Manlee apart is her ability to help you connect with your own body. She doesn’t just guide you through movements, she explains why they matter, how they should feel, and what to pay attention to. This makes every session both educational and empowering, helping you build a deeper understanding of your body over time.

Her approach is patient, supportive, and genuinely encouraging. She meets you where you are, offering thoughtful adjustments and guidance without ever making you feel pressured or self-conscious. You leave each session feeling not only more mobile and relaxed, but also more confident in your body and its capabilities.

Manlee is truly fantastic at what she does, and anyone looking to improve their mobility, reduce tension, or feel better in their body would benefit hugely from her classes.

I can’t thank Manlee enough! She’s the best yoga teacher I’ve ever met. I’ve been practising yoga for a few years, but I’ve never met anyone so professional and genuinely compassionate like her! She has deep knowledge of how our bodies work, and I’m impressed by her skilful teaching, as she can guide everyone in the group class with loads of helpful variations while keeping the class flowing so smoothly.

I especially love the yin-yang yoga class as it strikes a lovely balance of strength and softness. After a few group classes, I decided to have regular private sessions with Manlee, and they’ve really helped my flexibility and mobility despite ongoing spinal problems. Manlee understands this well as she was born with spinal issues too, and her own practice has helped her manage them, which makes her guidance even more reassuring.

My sister and I booked a private sound bath and guided meditation with Manlee, themed around the inner child. It was an amazing experience, like being transported to the mountains and diving deep into the ocean at the same time, and it helped me reconnect with my inner child and heal childhood wounds. I’d tried sound baths with crystal singing bowls before, but this was my first time experiencing a sound bath with both Tibetan singing bowls and crystal singing bowls. They’re very different, but Manlee blends their sounds beautifully, making the whole session truly special, and I could really feel the vibrations washing over my body.

Manlee’s voice is soothing yet assuring, and her hypnosis skills make it easy to stay focused. Her guidance is warm and inviting, giving a clear direction while still leaving room for our own exploration. Manlee is so kind that she answered all our questions and showed us how to play the singing bowls after the session. We love the calm, cheerful vibe she brings.

Every session with Manlee feels safe, grounded and deeply supportive. Her mix of deep knowledge, genuine compassion and willingness to share life experience makes her truly special. I can’t recommend her enough. Manlee is a real gem in Newbury!

I’ve attended both group and private sessions of Manlee's yoga class, sound bath with guided meditation and mindful eating. Every experience had been wonderful!!! Her energy is so uplifting and her voice is super soothing, making it easy to stay engaged.. In Manlee’s yoga classes, she explains each movement really well, which helps me stay focused. I often get easily distracted, but with Manlee’s guidance I can fully immersed in the practice, both physically and spiritually. Every time, whether it’s a group or private session, I leave feeling satisfied and can’t wait for the next one. It’s a delightful way to enhance my everyday life, and I highly recommend yoga, guided meditation, sound bath or any other mindfulness sessions with Manlee!

I heve been attening Manlee's Stretch and Mobility class and the yoga class for well over a year. I enjoy both classes very much. Manlee's classes are always fully booked, a testimony to her excellent teaching skills, professionalism and techniques.

Manlee has a confident, gentle, yet subtlety  demanding, approach, which encourages participants to work wthin their own physical limitations. Her style leads to  physical and mental harmony and relaxation. After Manlee's classes I always feel relaxed. Manlee chooses beautiful accompanying music which enhances the overall experience. In particular, I find Manlee's combination of yin and yang yoga techniques to be very good for me. Thank you.

Having practised yoga with Manlee for many months now, I recommend her classes to anyone who is looking for a highly qualified and experienced yoga teacher. She puts a lot of effort into ensuring poses are done correctly and takes great care about the practise taking place in the right kind of environment (appropriate music, lighting etc.). I enjoy every class and Manlee is the best instructor I have ever come across.

The Valentine Yoga/Wellness package was a mix of yoga for partners, Thai massage techniques and a mini sound bath. I went along with a friend and we were instantly welcomed and guided with Manlee’s clear and encouraging prompts. We enjoyed learning about all the types of poses that couples can do and really challenged ourselves! It gave us so much confidence and enjoyment. We didn’t stop laughing and connecting the whole of the session! The Maggie techniques were brilliant and we didn’t want the sound bath to end! Thank you so much to Manlee and Kristian for such a lovely and uplifting afternoon xx

I am so incredibly happy I found Manlee. I originally started her classes because I was dealing with a lot of stress, and it has been the best decision for my well-being.
I’ve been doing her yoga, stretch and mobility classes, as well as private sessions, and the experience has been amazing. Manlee truly teaches you the technique and how to breathe properly through every position. She is so attentive to everyone and is always so kind.
Beyond the regular classes, I also tried a session where I learned an intro to Thai massage, which has been incredibly helpful for relieving stress. I always leave her sessions with the same feeling: I’ve found my inner peace and feel completely relaxed.
I highly recommend Manlee to everyone. She is a true professional who perfectly balances technical expertise with a lot of empathy for her students.

My close friend and I experienced couples yoga and a sound bath with Manlee for the first time, and it was nothing short of incredible. From the moment we arrived, Manlee and her partner Calvin created such a warm, calm and welcoming space that immediately put us at ease.

Their demonstrations were clear, accurate and beautifully paced, allowing us to feel confident even when trying something completely new. What stood out most was their attentiveness — they gently guided us, adjusted us when needed, and made the whole experience feel safe, supportive and genuinely special.

Couples yoga is such a unique way to build trust and connection, and we left feeling deeply connected, grounded and completely relaxed. The sound bath that followed was pure magic — profoundly calming, restorative and immersive. It felt like the world slowed down, giving us permission to fully switch off and simply be present.

Manlee and Calvin have a truly special gift. Their calm energy, professionalism and genuine care shine through in everything they do. I left feeling re-centred, uplifted and incredibly grateful for the experience. I would wholeheartedly recommend this to anyone — whether with a partner, friend or loved one — it is something truly special.

I really, really enjoy attending Manlee’s yoga classes. Manlee is a very inspiring instructor. The way she chooses her words and her tone of voice helps me quickly get into the right state of mind, focus on each breath and movement, and gradually relax both my body and mind.
In addition, Manlee has great insight. She carefully observes each student’s ability and progress, and adjusts our postures and movements at the right time to support us. When she notices that a student is ready to go a bit deeper into a pose, she gently encourages us to take one more step and slowly break through our own limits, while also reminding us to listen to our bodies and never force ourselves when something doesn’t feel right. This makes the practice both safe and effective.

Manlee of Emabrace Wellness is an incredible teacher and guide, with a passion that radiates from everything she does.
When I first met Manlee I was brand new to yoga and very nervous to try something new. However, it quickly became clear that I had made a great choice of instructor and I am so grateful for Manlee’s, encouragement and support as I learn and grow.
One thing that really stands out is how effortlessly Manlee runs her sessions which are always challenging but cater for all abilities and needs without disrupting the flow of the practice.
I wouldn’t hesitate recommending Manlee to anyone, whatever your current skill level.
Thank you for sharing your passion with your students, it’s a real gift.

Manlee老師在課堂上經常提醒我要專注在自己身體上，不用心急，不用比較，給我很安心的感覺去開始瑜伽。她在課堂上給予十分清晰的講解，很有耐心回答同學們不明白的地方。她透過有趣的小遊戲，令我更留意自己身體當天的狀況。 在課堂上感受到她有很用心的準備，不是一式一樣的只輸出，同時也根據同學的需要去調整節奏。 等她回香港，一定會再參加她辦的瑜伽課！

Manlee at Embrace Wellness is absolutely fantastic. I have been attending her classes for over a year now. She is kind and welcoming, adapting yoga moves to all abilities. Her sessions provide a great physical workout, but the relaxing, slow pace at the end ensures you always leave feeling refreshed. She is highly skilled at her craft.

I have also attended many of her workshops, such as the soundbath and hypnosis events; her soothing voice truly puts you at ease. I have brought many friends and family members who also enjoy these sessions. I highly recommend Embrace Wellness to anyone locally, whether you are new to yoga or have been practicing for years.

I also bought one of her beautiful singing bowls that she sources and brings back from Nepal. An absolute treat to use!
