Memorable parts?
Its hard to choose between the wonderful, insightful, top notch Iyengar yoga sessions and the beach-fun surf lessons!
Tips?
I think most people know exactly what they need when looking for a retreat-style holiday but for this one in particular, just be aware you'll be sharing living
spaces and sticking to a veggie (delicious) diet. I was lucky to meet great people and had an amazingly sweet roommate.
Local benefits?
This holiday was all about sustainability!

Memorable parts?
Going down to the river and behaving like a hippopotamus.....by this I mean wallowing in the mud. It was not only fun but made the skin feel good too.
Tips?
Don't worry about what stage you are at in your yoga practice. The teachers are highly skilled and can guide you regardless of your level. I was a beginner and therefore enjoyed the afternoon sessions that focused more on pair yoga.
Also buy some of their honey if you can......it is simply divine.

Excellent...perfect in so many ways. . There is an energy that runs through the place and you feel connected every waking moment; as you find a quiet moment by one of the water pools, or take a walk with one of the dogs, attending a yoga class, enjoying a good nights sleep. Its a healing place like no other. (more)sophia Hannay
