I don’t even know where to begin, I did the 7-day yoga retreat and all I want to say is that I got the answers I needed and more for this period in my life. Jairo gave me such a warm welcome, he is so wonderful and truly cares about your well being, constantly checking in and ensuring you are enjoying your stay.
Aurelio, my God, the wisdom and knowledge I gained from him, words can’t describe what an angel he is. I have a strong catholic faith but through him I learned that there is connection beyond religion, one that can be found in Mother Nature, plants and animals.
Best yoga instructor I’ve ever come across in my life. Daniela, the best massage and skin care I’ve received, a MUST if you’re staying here. Lastly Nico, thank you for building such a beautiful project. Without you none of it would be possible. ❤️
