This retreat was exactly what I hoped! It gave me the opportunity to meet new people, reconnect with nature and strengthen my yoga practice. Olivia was a calming and kind teacher throughout the retreat and tailored our morning and evening practices to the summer season. This was my first yoga retreat and certainly won’t be the last🤍

One of the things I think is tremendous, is that our group on retreat were all different levels. Olivia guided us all through at our own level, so that we could maximise our experience.
