I would like to invite you again to join me for a yoga retreat at one of my favourite places in the world, the beautiful Sri Lanta resort on the island of Koh Lanta, near Krabi in Thailand! The resort is located on the beach and the accommodation in the jungle. The natural beauty, simplicity, great food and atmosphere is breathtaking.

This will be our third retreat and second one in Sri Lanta.
It will be a wonderful opportunity to take time off in our busy lives and get away to a beautiful place in order to watch the sunset into the ocean, go deeper into our yoga practice, and to calm, heal, re-focus and energise our lives…
My friend Alexandra Salkova McKenzie will also be joining us to teach meditation. She is a qualified hypnotherapist and has an in-depth knowledge of guided meditations and healing techniques (see:http://innerselfconsultancy.com/). Alexandra will also teach one day Hypnotherapy workshop prior to start of the retreat and all information is on her web site.
