3 DAYS HIMALAYAN MEDITATION & YOGA RETREAT
Derek Straat / June 20203 Days Himalayan Meditation & Yoga RetreatI went for a 3 day retreat and left with such a deep sense of the practice that I will return to do a full course. The practice there is steeped in tradition and you feel, truly, that you are getting ancient teachings. It is passed down with such a reverent, gentle care that it immerses you – it’s almost hard to describe. Just go. Food, teachers, location, all yes, yes, yes.
