Between the sumptuous gardens, a large yoga shala, a swimming pool, a meditation path and a small 17th century sacred church. Simply divine! Prepare to be nourished with peace and serenity by your surroundings.

 

This yoga retreat is for any level of practitioner to enjoy yoga, meditation, mindfulness and more in a relaxed and beautiful setting.
