our Reviewer Kim Willis says OF HER ICELAND RETREAT:
‘As if the Icelandic snow-capped mountains, juicy, stretchy yoga, luxurious lodges and delicious menu aren’t enough, this is also a retreat with eco-credentials’
Queen of Retreats says:
‘These retreats are epic adventures in themselves. Practising yoga in a Norwegian glass shala feels like you’re inside a painting. Blissfully, all retreats observe a no-alcohol rule so you can truly drop into your practice. You’ll need to be fit for most of the Northern Europe trips, but activities are optional’
