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. Local benefits? Yes,...

Memorable parts? The quality of the guitar tuition was outstanding, not just the playing but the lessons are structured around your level and taught extremely well. Food location and organisation was superb! (thank you Helen). Tips? Practice a piece of music before you come if you wish to perform at the concert at the end. allows you to focus on the music and new stuff....and performing in a palace was awseome (even for a beginner). Local benefits? Yes used local operators.... (more)Steve How
