Testimonials

  • “The venue was beautiful. It was amazing doing yoga overlooking the sea and doing beach yoga was such a treat The whole ambiance was just amazing. All lessons were so well prepared and Leah and Alita were wonderful. The food was very good and healthy. A very good balance was achieved between Yoga, mental stimulation and free time. The walks on the beach during free time were so good. I found the whole weekend inspiring, and so worth it. I would join Leah and Alita again at any time for a yoga retreat.”

  • “If you want to feed your soul, there is no better place to do it. Infused in nature with the sound of the waves, the fresh smell of the beach and the ubiquitous beautiful light. The food is brilliantly paired with the weather and the ambiance. Fresh and presented with care, one feels utterly spoiled. Yoga is taken indoors and outside according to the tides and the weather and one can truly tune into yourself and turn to reflect. The classes are bespoke for individual adeptness, to both challenge and give confirmation. The rooms amenities are full of innovation and inspiration making sure you can rest well. The experience is not only grounding and energizing, it is augmenting. Every thing has been considered and thought of, to make this an extraordinary experience. I cannot recommend this enough!”

  • “I found the yoga retreat was really good! The venue was beautiful. The planning awesome and the food - out of the books. Yoga itself made a big change in my life where the mindset changed to positive. You are taught to focus on yourself which is very important . The talks Alita did were fantastic and the free time was good. I must say Leah herself is brilliant: She is a very organised and well planned teacher.”
