A note from Lana & Sara:
Yoga, in sanskrit युज्, means union.
The synonym of peace is union.
Our yoga practice brings us a deeper sense of peace with ourselves. This is our path and why we are so excited to be sharing our passion for yoga with you. A retreat is an opportunity for reflection, to open up to possibility and nurture ourselves. With a better understanding of ourselves and our relationships, Yoga opens up the door to wholeness, so we can have more health, happiness and peace.
Thank-you!
Whether you are just here interested or will be joining us....may your path be filled with light, love, joy & peace.
