The Yoga Practices
There will be 3 hours of daily yoga practices which will guide you to a sense of awakening.
Every morning we will start the day with guided meditation, followed by a strengthening asana practice.
Every afternoon you will be eased into a mindful & gentle asana and pranayama practice to set the body in a restoring mode for the night.
The styles of yoga will vary according to the different teachers.
To provide a more individual & intimate approach groups are limited to 8-10 people.
The Food
The week’s menu will be prepared in collaboration with various national & international health experts & nutritionists.
The menu will include vegetarian ingredients, with plenty of raw, vegan, and gluten-free options to suit all dietary needs. In occasions we will offer a fresh fish of the day. Local, and organic ingredients will be used whenever possible.
Most of our vegetables & fruits are sourced from our own green house located at the family’s farmhouse. All meals and non-alcoholic drinks are included during your stay.
