our Reviewer Sasha Bates says OF HER KEFALONIA RETREAT:
‘When not mesmerised by the sea I find further peace practising yoga, safe within the containing presence and tutelage of our teacher, who inspires a lot of love among our group’
our Reviewer Sharon walker says OF HER la gomera RETREAT:
‘I ignored my Fear Of Missing Out impulses to sink into the incredible nature at the finca, to lie by the pool in the shade of the enormous Banyan tree and swim in the inky Atlantic’
Queen of Retreats says:
‘The yoga spaces on these holidays make practising a pleasure. We especially love the rustic beauty of Cortijo San Jose's shaded yoga terrace overlooking olive groves in Andalucia, the vine-clad shala surrounded by forest at Huzur Vadisi in Turkey, and the lush valley views from In Sabina's stunning platform near Rome’
