"So I’ve come to the end of a wonderful retreat here at Yobaba Lounge. It really has been an extraordinary 5 days, and such a beautiful group that’s come together and amazing shared experiences.

Gertrud and Naela hold a very wonderful temple space here. And here that process of being held allows for transformation and the energies to arise through the practice, through the breath work and the yoga, to allow us to let go and to come into stillness.

This has brought up all sorts of residual emotions that get moved as we have worked with our bodies, worked with the yoga practices and the inner breath work that is so much part of Gertrud’s practice that she shares, the richness that she shares.

The food on the retreat has just been amazing. So inspiring and so stunningly gorgeous that everybody was savouring every mouthful.

This truly is an extraordinary place to be and an extraordinary gift that you can offer yourself to come and be in the presence of this amazing landscape and this offering that is present here."

So, yes it has been a fabulous time and I’m very grateful to have the opportunity to be here.

This is the yoga shala and the very beautiful temple space. I’m going back with a sense of really needing to simplify my life and to come back into the true essence of who I am, and what I’m here for. So, very refreshed, very nourished and very held. Huge thank you to Gertrud and Naela."
