this was an amazing retreat – my best yet and i’ve been on a lot all over the world. The teachings were amazing, the food exemplary and the massage therapist really helped my pulled calf so that i could participate better. It was a truly nurturing experience and even as a beginner yogi i felt very welcome and able to follow and stretch as best i could without any inner criticism or comparisons to others which is new Thank you so much I truly looked forward to the next one

Lots of valuable information and a very well presented teacher training in Ayurveda… learning about doshas, which foods are best for your type and how to prepare a nourishing balanced meal, also how to change things when you are out of balance… The same with the yoga postures, which postures suit you etc, and lots of balancing prana/breathwork to wake you up each morning… There is also wild swimming in the calm clean waters followed by a lovely sauna, with a fireside singalong and a mug of warming chai each evening to leave you feeling nourished, hugged and ready for bed… highly recommend the beautiful retreats Sadhama has to offer
