The retreat was very loosely scheduled which created a nice flow. It was very natural. I enjoyed the fresh food from the gardens, cooking together, walking around the village. We met a lot of local healers and went hiking. The area was beautiful and rich with culture. Jolie was informative in her teachings, and shared stories of her trips to Thailand, and India. I left refreshed. Great retreat for Independent seekers.

It was in excellent experience from start to finish. Jolie was a great yoga teacher, tour guide, translator, historian and friend.

Every morning we would meet in various places to do yoga. Places such as at East Lake, on the Great Wall, the river, and at different temples. All environments where peaceful and beautiful. We would then have lunch in different cultured cafes, then a short rest followed. After the rest we would meet again for some more yoga and other activities. These consisted of Chinese tea making, Thai Chi, museums, art galleries, exploring the old town and meditation/incense classes. Then we would go out for dinner in some delicious restaurants. Jolie is very kind and knowledgable and her English is great. It was a lovely experience. Thank you Jolie and her friends I enjoyed my trip so much.

We liked everything.

Jolie is a young and dynamic though thoughtful and well-planned guide. In this week we travelled and did yoga in a remote retreat center, we became more like friends than guide and tourist.
