"Great experience in a beautiful space ✨ "
Jenni and Ben are wonderful teachers. Both teach from the heart in their own authentic way and are able to reach their students, rather they are experienced or newbies to the practice. They taught me again about the importance of a conscious breath and how to connect to it. It not only helps me to go slow and deepen the postures, but also to navigate more easily through daily life. The retreat was created with a lot of love and details. Radhadesh is a wonderful place if you are looking to connect to nature, make new friends with like-minded people and find more spirituality in your practice. Looking forward to another retreat with Jenni and Ben ❤️

"We will meet again. It was very nice."
It was a great experience. I am very inspired. I have already looked when I will travel to Radhadesh next time. I would definitely do a retreat with Jennifer and Ben again.The program was created with love and perfection. It gave me many new impressions.
The two yoga teachers are different in their way and complement each other perfectly. Both seem very authentic in what they do.
Last but no least, I also enjoyed the group.

"A transforming experience"
Jen and Ben are wonderful Yogis!
First of all, they are the best yoga teacher that I had. They helped me improve my posture and feel confident to practice yoga daily at home.
In 4 days, I have learned much more than the practice. I have discovered a lifestyle respecting nature, animals well-being and my own well-being. A transforming experience!

"Wonderful Experience"
This retreat was my first one and it was amazing. I met really nice people with whom I had really interesting discussions with, but we created also a safe place to live this experience to its fullest together. The program was well balanced and I saw the progress all us made during practice. The food,the place and the Rhadadesh community were also amazing and a great discovery on my side. The teachers were really of a great help and are amazing people. Thank you again for this experience !
