Instructors
Ilaria
Ilaria: "Inclusiveness in yoga means making every student feel accepted and creating a safe space where everyone can be fully present in their practice and explore mouvement without feeling judged, excluded or out of place. No one should at any point feel obliged to take a certain pose or do a certain transition, no one should ever feel like a yoga class if a competition: giving variations and modifications is for me one of the key elements of including every person. We all are different, with different bodies, and our own body and energy level changes every day."
Retreat location
Munga Plains is not just a location; it’s the heart of this retreat. It was born out of a desire to unite people through a shared love for wellness, travel, and nature.
