Katharina, Yaara and Galit are delighted to invite you to our unique Iyengar Yoga, health and detox retreat, incorporating many years’ experience on all our parts.

Enjoy the many benefits of a daily yoga practice, learn about the functionings of the body and how to optimise them through gentle, natural, scientific means; eat nourishing, delicious food and learn about nutrition; meditate, spend time in nature in a relaxed, joyful atmosphere.
