PREVIOUS RETREATS


The last yoga retreat in Andalucia (May 2010) was very enjoyable on many levels; beautiful surroundings. warm welcome by the owners "Keri & Robi"... and great food.  Students also made good progress and enjoyed the program which covered many aspects of Yoga and Tantra.


Here are some testimonials:

"I enjoyed alot of the aspects of the retreat and have learned alot from it...Excellent teaching throughout the course with patience and understanding for the students."
Darren W. - London

"Thank you for such a fantastic week! ...I noticed I was a lot calmer afterwards.. the retreat infused me with a slowness that I love so I will try to do the things you talked about to keep it."
Basia K - London

“Everything was perfect, teaching, group, food, place.   I found it a very profound and calm experience.  I liked the balance of 'work' and rest time, and yoga philosophy. I came home with a clearer understanding of what you’ve been teaching and sharing us on many levels.”    

Ayisha- London

“I have been telling people that the yoga retreat is the best "real" holiday I have ever had!..
It was a good opportunity to understand your teaching and approach better..and to get back to my own everyday practice, which I have been doing every day.”   Catherine - London

“I still have the wonderful memories of the magical retreat you created. I came to it with a lot of stress physically and mentally and by the time i left i felt like a new woman it was relaxing, invigorating, enlightening and all together a fantastic experience that everyone seemed to get a lot from. Thank you!”   Fern - Bristol

“I really enjoyed the retreat on many levels. It was the first time I had done something like that and the first time I had been away on my own to join a group of people I didn't know.
I loved the feeling of energy I got from getting up every morning early and meditating...   I really enjoyed the very holistic nature of your teaching and drawing it in with nature.
My body really enjoyed doing the yoga every day - I felt stronger and looser at the end of it.
Thank you so much for such a wonderful time.”   Amy - London

" India's sages have long known that good spiritual health is a a prerequesite for good physical and mental health.  Spiritual health is a dynamic balance between a strongly integrated individual personality and the cosmic personality of Nature, a balance which is possible only so long as a being remembers its debt to Mother Nature". 
(Dr Rober Svoboda, Ayurvedic physician)
