Our interpretation of what yoga is & can be โ€ฆ

Yoga literally means to yolk ~ To unite
Your yoga is a giving & receiving
Between inner & outer worlds
Through awareness
A union of ~
Heart & mind
Body & spirit
Inviting the self to breathe, move & radiate with love
Dropping into the present
Altering our perception & thus reality
As we journey through this dance of life

~ TESTIMONIALS ~

โ€˜On retreat with a beautiful mother & daughter having my mind blown, my heart peeled open and my soul nourished. What an experienceโ€™

โ€™Iโ€™m so grateful for this life changing experienceโ€™

โ€˜I have thoroughly enjoyed all my Yoga adventures with Sandra and Sofia, and there have been quite a few now. India; Morocco, Cuba, Bali, Nepal, Thailand, Laos, Vietnam and Cambodia. They have all been fabulous, exciting, and very memorable for many different reasons. I loved Morocco for the opportunity it gave me to sleep under the stars.  India was striking for the amazing warmth of the people; its colours; sights, sounds and sunsets.  In Bali we joined our guideโ€™s family in celebrating a spectacular festival which was attended by the whole village. We were even afforded the privilege of being specially invited guests to their village temple. On every occasion that I have travelled with Sandra I have felt that I have been an explorer rather than a tourist. What always made these trips so easy-going and straightforward for me, is that they were always planned and so well organized for us.  The itineraries were varied and well-paced and I always knew that I would be travelling with wonderful like-minded yogi and yoginis.โ€™

'Home now, glowing & pulsating with vibrant, warm, joyful energy and smiling as I metabolize the mind blowing experience I just had on retreat with these incredible ladiesโ€™

โ€˜We were reflecting on how we are still feeling the effects of the retreat with you. It is still reverating through my cells & taking me forward in new ways. The change was real. And itโ€™s lasted & I get to share it with those who come & practise with me. Always grateful.โ€™

โ€™Iโ€™ve lived in many parts of the world & practiced lots of styles of yoga with many teachers over the past 25 years, but when I found Sandraโ€™s sharings I was able to understand what yoga is truly all about. Thank youโ€™
