"The Most Magical 5 Days Possible"
The most magical 5 days possible. To immerse in such wonderful surroundings with the best teachers from around the globe is sublime. The choice of styles and classes is fabulous as it gave me the chance to try different styles that I wouldn’t usually have the opportunity to experience. Yoga in the day and dancing in the evening ….BUT the most fabulous part are the people and the lifelong friends I made. - Mark Ruck, London, UK
