This was an amazing trip for me. I have been on several yoga retreats with Laura Jane but this was the first one that I went on alone because my friend, at the last minute, could not make the trip with me - but I had full confidence that I would find like-minded friends on this retreat and would not feel like I was there "alone". I was not disappointed. The men and women on the retreat were all adventurous, serious about their yoga and very respectful of each other.
We had yoga practice in the morning and late afternoon with opportunities for hiking and evening group discussion that gave us a chance to get to know each other. And the sight-seeing and beach days were the perfect balance to make the trip feel relaxing yet still immersing ourselves in the local culture.
The Santillan was exquisite - the rooms were peaceful and beautiful and our chef was amazing. The food was delicious with lots of variety and when someone cooks for you - it is like being hugged and it was wonderful. Additionally, the pool was a refreshing and lovely retreat - on its own.
There have been a lot of changes in my life in the last year and this trip really helped to fill my depleted cup. The accommodations, the hosts and of course, the yoga instruction by Laura Jane was exactly what my soul needed.
Whether choosing to take this trip with a special friend or friends or going alone - I highly recommend this retreat with Laura Jane - she is an excellent yogi and teacher of all things yoga. You will love what this trip offers. I highly recommend!
