What people said after my last retreat:
“The Easter ReTREAT was relaxing, energizing and down right fabulous. Allison’s effort, time and hardwork was noticable throughout the entire weekend from the goodie bags on arrival to the individually tailored practices. I had a great weekend and wouldn’t hesitate to do it all again”~ Bernadette
“I had a great weekend! My experience is that the people make these events special. Likeminded people doing something they’re all drawn towards. The yoga is the binding glue and learning, playing, experimenting, practising is the main thing. But just getting away from it all and being with people with a similar leaning is great. The introduction of meditation was really good. The silence thing – initially not a fan! But it was actually really good. As you said – being prepared to practise with your whole heart. Open up and give it a go. So that was really good actually. Location was great. I think you did a great job and it was a fantastic weekend. So thanks heaps and I look forward to the next one!”~Max
“I would happily recommend this retreat to friends and will hopefully be in a position to attend again next year. I loved the location and proximity to home, the classes were well thought out and perfect in both content and timing and this retreat would be a fantastic opportunity for yogis at any level to attend and immerse themselves a little more deeply in both ashtanga yoga and good old fashioned peace and quiet :-)” ~Ngaire
“What a wonderful Easter Yoga Retreat. Held at the peaceful Hidden Valley Sanctuary, what a wonderful setting to practice yoga with friends, our Live and Breathe Yoga Community. A must-have annual event (… hopefully)”.~Martyn
“I loved, loved, loved this retreat with Allison and Harry. Their warmth and love for the practice glows so brightly that it warms everyone around them. I met a bunch of gorgeous people who I shared loads of laughs and great memorable moments with. A perfect retreat to let go, ground yourself, learn, and meet exceptional people”.
