"200 Hours YTT Review "

I appreciated the traditional approach to yoga. The course was well-rounded, offering a comprehensive view of the practice. Rohit and Jeet were excellent teachers -knowledgeable, grounded in tradition, and consistently went the extra mile to support us throughout the training. The small group size made it easy to ask questions and created a more personal learning environment. There was space to reflect on the teachings, and the clean, comfortable accommodations and peaceful location added to the overall experience. I’m grateful for the training and would recommend it to anyone seeking a traditional and immersive YTT.

"Wunderbares entspanntes Yoga Retreat mit lecker Prosecco"

Der Name war Programm, Petra ist eine sehr angenehme Yogalehrerin und geht auch auf die Individuellen Bedürfnisse der Gruppe ein. Eva mit ihren Kochkünsten muss ein Geschenk des Himmels sein. Und auf individuelle Ernährungsstile wird eingegangen. Eva und Petra sind super Hosts und auch die Gruppe war sehr angenehm. Das Haus hat wirklich Charakter und ist schön eingerichtet, je nach Wetter konnten wir draussen oder im grossen Yogaraum Yoga machen.

Was wäre eine Kritik ohne einen Negtivpunkt: einzig die Strasse neben dem Haus kann etwas laut sein, sodass man in der Nacht die Autos hört und so das (sehr gut isolierende) Fenster schliessen muss.

"Erholsame Ferien im Yogaretreat in Italy"

Wir wurden von Petra bereits am Bahnhof sehr herzlich empfangen. Bei der Ankunft in der wunderschönen Villa wurden wir mit einem der besten "Rüeblikuchen" verwöhnt und bekamen ein Prosecco als Welcome-Drink. Die gesamte Atmosphäre im Yogaretreat war sehr entspannt und relaxt. Nebst dem sehr angenehmen Yoga, genossen wir am Abend und Morgen das sehr fein zubereitete Essen von Eva und konnten jeweils am Abend eins bis zwei Prosecco aus der Region geniessen. Nachmittags haben wir jeweils etws unternommen. An alle, die nebst dem Yoga auch noch das italienische Flair geniessen möchten, kann ich diesen Retreat bestens empfehlen. Petra und Eva sind extrem gastfreundliche und liebevolle Menschen.

"Fabelhaft "

Das Retreat mit Petra und Eva war einfach fabelhaft und hat meine Erwartungen übertroffen. Die Unterkunft ist wunderschön, die Lage in den Prosecco Hills ist traumhaft und das Essen war jeden Tag ein Highlight. Das Yoga bei Petra war super, sehr abwechslungsreich und hat mir wieder Lust auf mehr Yoga gemacht. Die Ausflugsziele und -Möglichkeiten in der Gegend sind auch sehr vielseitig.
