I run yoga retreats and training courses for yoga teachers, and have taught all over europe. I have to say that my recent stay at Barna, Pallasgrean was blissful! The retreat atmosphere was truly nourishing and nurturing. Every comfort was attended to and all the students were warm, cosy and happy. The food was tasty and plentiful and perfectly suited to yoga practice. Because we were all accommodated in the one big house, we really were free to devote our energies to our yoga: learning and experiential encounters with the practice were well facilitated. The capacity to shift from the yoga space to the soft social discussion space in the conservatory was particularly valuable for my group. It was the perfect space for the yoga nidra teacher training course, and I know that our quality of learning and teaching was superbly supported by the unique atmosphere which Breeda has lovingly created. There is a very positive energy in the place. I would warmly recommend this very special facility to any group leader who is looking for an optimal space for intensive learning and yoga practice.

Om shanti
