our Reviewer Sharon walker says of her retreat in goa:
‘In spite of Jess Horn’s flaxen hair, glowing skin and stellar yogic credentials, there’s nothing intimidating about her, as she chats away in front of the class imparting a deep dollop of yogic philosophy tempered with a lovely light warmth and humour’
Queen of Retreats says:
‘The characterful yoga spaces on these retreats are true gems. Practising in a tranquil beach cove (a rare find in Goa) or on a secluded Sri Lankan yoga pavilion to the sound of teeming wildlife makes for such happy memories. Some venues are very much off-grid but they’re worth it because you’ll be immersed in rural village life’
