“This was such an incredible experience and a valuable gift.

I went on this yoga retreat and had not done yoga before.  It was so therapeutic to take time out for myself and step out of what can often feel like the relentless busyness of working/family life. I can highly recommended every part of this to reboot. Amber is a wonderful teacher and I felt enlivened by every moment of this retreat.”
