We know that there are lots of retreats advertised out there, so we want to make sure that our retreat meets your needs and expectations. Come alone or with friends, this retreat is all about making friends and feeling a part of a supportive group of people. Most of the accommodation options are based on sharing, so you’ll be sharing with some like-minded yogis.
