Retreat participants also have the opportunity to join selected classes alongside international Yoga Teacher Training students. These sessions are intended for personal learning and enrichment. Participants are not required to complete examinations, teaching assignments or certification assessments.
Whether you are beginning your yoga journey or already have an established practice, the 14-day format allows you to spend more time exploring yoga, meditation, pranayama and yogic living at your own pace.
