Location is everything.
For my Workshops and my Retreats, I choose the locations with extra attention to details.
When practicing yoga, peace and quiet are a must for a prosperous experience. This is why my retreats locations are usually close to quiet isolated beaches, and my Workshops are located at the most welcoming spaces for an optimal experience.
