I recently had the opportunity to attend a Yin Yoga and Sound Healing teacher training with Jackie and Massimo, and I can't recommend it enough! This experience was truly transformative and enriched my understanding of not only yin yoga and sound healing but also various related subjects, such as anatomy, the energetic body, principles of yoga therapy and Chinese medicine.

The training was intense and incredibly practical. I have truly learned a lot. Each session was designed to deepen our knowledge and provide us with the tools needed to integrate these teachings into our practice and future classes.

The instructors, Jackie and Massimo, were phenomenal. Their passion for yoga, sound therapy and holistic healing was evident, and they created a supportive and nurturing environment for all of us. Their knowledge and personalized attention made a significant difference in how much we could absorb during the training.

The vegetarian food served throughout the training was amazing! Every meal was both nutritious & delicious!

The venue itself was situated in a stunningly quiet area, surrounded by untouched nature. It truly served as a peaceful retreat from the hustle and bustle of daily life.

Overall, this training was a rewarding experience that offered me profound insights, practical skills, and a deeper connection to both yoga and myself. I wholeheartedly encourage anyone considering this training to take the leap – you won’t regret it!

A healing yoga holiday in the spring.

The yoga instruction by Massimo was excellent. The beautiful location by the sea. The water is clean and I did go for a swim. Pack your swim kit! Bird song and carpets of spring flowers. Flamingos, herons, stalks. I also saw hoopoes, goldfinches and heard a cuckoo one morning. Sheep with their lambs and donkeys in the fields. You are in a UNESCO protected area.

The daily opportunity to visit many other parts of Lesbos island, quaint villages, churches, healing thermal spas and an ancient monastery.

The other 2 participants and their positive energy also made this week very special.

As well as a library of books on yoga and yoga philosophy.

Healthy vegetarian food for brunch and dinner prepared by Elena. Thank you for everything 🙏

Amazing experience!

A truly magical experience in the Sahara! The whole trip was well organised and Massimo was always available for any questions I had before I arrived in Morocco. I didn't know anyone else in the group (there were nine of us), but that wasn’t an issue at all—the atmosphere was relaxed, welcoming, and fun. Most mornings we did yoga before breakfast. After breakfast we walked for between 2 and 5 hours, then Mohamed and his team from Sahara Soul Trek (and who were absolutely wonderful!) set up camp for us. The afternoons were free so we could have a nap or find a tree to sit under or wander around. Most afternoons, we did more yoga (including one session on the voice). The evenings were spent around the fire eating dinner (the food was consistenly delicious!) and with the guides singing traditional songs. A wonderful trip that I highly recommend!

Simply lovely

Food was amazing!! Nomad guides were really nice and helpful and spoke surprisingly good english. All our needs were taken care of, advice was given. Furthermore, it was very interesting to do yoga in the desert, a completely new experience. Probably the thing i enjoyed the most was to experience the nomad life style, to see how they cook bread in the hot ashes, how they sing by the fire. I would definitely go again next year!

Freedom…transformation…harmony…

I loved the easy, laidback vibe of the Bay of Kalloni with tons of birds (flamingos!), the serene lodgings and indoor/outdoor yoga practice areas, and caring instructors. The October weather was perfect; swimming a dream, warm and private. No other tourists. I had clear views of golden fields and blazing sunsets over the ocean. The grounds were lovely: we picked pomegranates, mandarins, watermelon, and plums from the rambling garden. Massimo, Piero and Kerstin were thoughtful in planning excursions and workshops. We visited hot springs at sunset, Petra, Molyvos, and two traditional Greek restaurants a few feet from the sea. Nice not to think about driving— benefited from watching the gorgeous landscapes go by. Home cooked meals were prepared by a talented local cook. Another highlight was Kerstin’s somatic therapies and Massimo’s musical abilities and chants. Ran out of time to do everything! Unforgettable.
