This weekend women's retreat was exactly what I needed without even realizing it. Jenny, Silke, and Zoe organized a beautiful variety of practices—different styles of yoga, meditation, mindfulness, and creative activities. The food was amazing, the accommodations great, and the atmosphere wonderfully relaxed.
As a complete yoga beginner who had only briefly met 2 of the other women before, I wasn't sure what to expect. But I felt welcomed and at ease from the start .....

Alle meine Angebote sind geeignet für Anfänger.

Ganz nach meinem Motto:

MOVE BETTER - FEEL BETTER - FIND A BALANCED PRACTICE FOR YOUR BODY
