Description of the Retreat
Over the course of 8 days we will do our best to share our experience with the Ashtanga Yoga method. The settings of Zen Rocks allows us to bring in a more holistic approach than what might be possible in our everyday life back home. The daily schedule will provide us with what we belive is a yogic lifestyle : proper diet – proper thinking, proper exercise, proper relaxation and proper meditation.
Warm welcome, Minka and Pernille
