It is the first time that I became interested in yoga, and that is because of your guidance and the explanation of the philosophy and also leadership for the poses. I would not change anything about the retreat, it was great. Thank you for everything. Namaste. I am grateful. I especially liked the discussions about missions in life, purpose in life. – Chris
