I loved everything. The place is stunning, the food was excellent and Kamal is a great teacher and an amazing and inspiring person.

This retreat was everything I expected and more right from the beginning. Our host Kamal picked us up from airport as soon as we arrived in Brindisi and took us to At the Aia located about an hour away in Nardo. From the very start both hosts Kamal and Guilia were nothing but amazing. We did yoga daily followed by a lovely continental breakfast served on the patio. During the day we did exploring of Salento based on our requests of what we wanted to do. Some of our activities included going to serveral beaches, a cooking class making pasta, sauce, and dessert, wine tasting, dinners both at restaurants and at the Aia, tours of Nardo, Lecce, and Galatini, as well as history and shopping. Ram, from the Aia, prepared our breakfast and dinner based on requests and dietary restrictions. Our hosts were very accommodating to dietary restrictions. The food was amazing and the views were spectacular. Yoga was an amazing experience outside in their yoga deck. There were also options for additional yoga classes, as well as we had a bonfire one night chanting mantras. The experience overall was amazing. Truly a once in a lifetime experience that i cannot wait to have again. The people I met became my family. I recommend this retreat to everyone looking to have an amazing adventure with some amazing people. The Aia and Salento Yoga are a truly cannot miss experience!
