"I would thoroughly recommend this yoga retreat to everyone! Me and my boyfriend attended one of the retreats in January 2016 and we both thoroughly enjoyed the whole experience. I was fairly new to yoga and found the retreat provided a brilliant introduction to a range of different types of yoga, breathing practices, meditation and philosophies. I found that the schedule for each day had the perfect balance of each of these different aspects, and also just the right amount of free time to relax and enjoy the beautiful resort where the retreat is based. As a relative beginner, I found the yoga challenging at times but Julie gave us lots of options on how to make the postures work for different abilities and bodies, and I never felt pressured to do anything beyond my limits. The workshop sessions were particularly useful; we each had extensive individual feedback on many postures, with body-specific guidance on how to improve and I finally learnt the best way for my body to be doing downward dog! I'd had my reservations that the philosophy sessions might be a bit too wacky for me but they weren't at all - Julie made it all really relevant to everyday life and I learnt many words of wisdom from her on how to improve my life and relationships with others. The accomodation was really lovely too, with an excellent pool and beautiful surroundings. And the food was AMAZING! The buffet dinner was themed on a different world cuisine each night, with many complimenting dishes to choose from (including great veggie options). The town of Nong Khiaw is definitely worth staying in for a few days before or after the retreat to explore the river, mountains and caves nearby. All in all, a great experience!"
