"Wonderful yoga holiday! "
What I found most wonderful about this trip was the chance to connect with and befriend new and yet likeminded people — and to do it midst the splendors of Italy. For me and I think for others, it was fitting and just, and enlarging of both the body and mind, that this ancient Eastern art should find such beautiful expression in this temple of Western civilization.
