“The only way to hold on is to keep letting go”
8 Day MBY Kriya Asana Yoga Retreat in Gozo
The Olives, Triq Il Wileg, San Lawrenz, Gozo, Malta
Reinvigorating Yoga Retreat Malta
Visualize this. You catch your flight and arrive in Malta, a small island in the Mediterranean. You’re welcomed by the warmth of the sun and the incredible blue sky set against limestone architecture. You journey across the island to catch a ferry ride to an even smaller and more charming island named Gozo. You step off the ferry and you instantly feel the grounding nature of the island of joy. This is just the beginning.
