These last 4 days I learnt a lot about traditional yoga practice, about Amma’s vision, and about myself. The fact that the retreat is approached through a theme Goddess Durga brings us in a very rich trip about history, teachings, introspection. A special gratitude to Shobhana for her passion and sharing her practice with us.”– Laura, France
