Gokarna/India
“Whether you are a beginner or more advanced -All the retreats offered for smaller groups are designed to meet you where you are. You don’t have to do advanced back bends or headstand. In your vacation and away from your normal day to day life, practicing yoga, meditation, breathing and being outdoors in nature, may help to give a new perspective and bring awareness on yourself and your life. All classes are optional and you may prefer to take the week more as a retreat with more silence and reflection during the free time or you may just prefer to enjoy and be on holiday! Most important…… you start from where you are.”
