Ladan Soltani

This Christmas retreat was lovely! Beautiful villa and surroundings, excellent food, nice group of people and inspiring yoga sessions from Ladan!

I loved everything about the retreat--the accommodations, the staff, the yogis--and Ladan, our yoga instructor/facilitator, was phenomenal. She gave each of us special attention during our yoga classes and also offered spiritual guidance in a loving and gentle way. Her years of experience teaching yoga was very evident during the week, as was her enthusiasm. She was an inspiration to me. I highly recommend her retreats for anyone who wants great yoga classes, great fun, and time to chill out.

Beautiful peaceful remote location in the north of the island. The villa was great, very clean large spacious shower, beds very comfortable. Yoga started at 9am for 90 mins which was perfect not too early! Good varied classes. Laden was a lovely lady and gave great assistance helping us into different poses. Large bottles of water supplied in room which was great.

It was a wonderful experience!

I am pleased to say that Ladan's yoga sessions during the retreat were exactly what I needed, and I now view yoga as an essential part of my life - something I need to do to help keep me balanced and secure in myself.

I had attended yoga classes for most of 2018 leading up to the retreat, which was good in and of itself, but it also meant that I was able to get more from Ladan's classes than if I had been an absolute beginner. However, I learnt more from her in the space of a week than I had learnt over the whole year! My understanding of my body has improved and deepened hugely, and, for me, the mind-body links and meditative practices that she is so clear about, make absolute sense. I enjoyed and found useful the breathwork, and I am very grateful to her for correcting me in some of the postures. All in all the experience has been quite a profound one for me, and is definitely influencing how I live and work - in very positive ways!

The retreat house was lovely - especially the peaceful location away from all the crowds - and the food was absolutely delicious. What a treat over the Christmas holiday.

The people I met were great. The location was very nice. Ladan, the yoga instructor, was excellent. I felt pushed but it was within my capabilities as a novice to yoga.

This was my first yoga retreat and it really was an amazing experience. I am looking forward to going on my next one.
