Experience beyond my expectations!

I did the 3-day yoga retreat and the experience was beyond my expectations!

I immediately felt the good vibes and love from everyone in the center. The food was delicious, the classes extremely rewarding both physically and mentally and the instructors, both Ross and Viv, were true soul leaders. I didn't want to leave, but got to go home fully recharged, centered, and with much more self-love. Exactly what I needed!

Thank you all from the bottom of my heart!
