The voice is a great tool, no matter if you're a yoga teacher

the greater power we have!

Not all the time of course, but we'll focus loads on the work we can do with our hands - ASSISTING! And then cosy evenings with stories of Gods & Goddesses, yummy veggie food, cosy beds and maybe jump in the sauna? We'll leave Wednesday morning, return Sunday afternoon.

With all the knowledge you've acquired so far, how are you supposed

like making a soup, you have the ingredients but you need the
measurements, timings and toppings to make it tasty.
Bring out the apron, let's go!
