Day 2 - unpacking!!

Here in the mountains, everything has to be packed in boxes or wrapped to stop the mice eating it.

So we set about Unpacking all the yoga equipment, tents, groundsheets, crockery…such a time saver not having to wash 15 sets over everything!! Even unpacked the wood fired hot tub

I love the satisfying feeling when everything is in its place. Waiting for people to come and use it. 🥰

Day 1

As we are off-grid with no WiFi 🥰 my sharing our set u for our retreat will be pictures rather that reels.

So, we left UK 3am, travelled 16hrs to Alps with a car laden with “stuff”. The last 100 miles were bit hair raising as we had car issues and had to nurse it to Praz.

Then having spent so long sitting , our bodies have to adjust to the 40 min hike up a steep mountain slope!!! But when our house gradually appears…my heart soars ❤️

Luckily this year there were no mice to evict. After a good sleep, Day 1 was spent excavating the outside area, fire pit, outdoor shower and hot tub. Connecting the water, solar panels and….Mike had to go down and try to fix the car. 😳

Great first day 🥰

Feeling at home 😍

I would to have you join us this August in the Alps!! 🥰 here’s what last years “family” thought…❤️

What a wonderful experience of balance, integration and coherence. Soraya, you gave stillness and intuitive connection. The experience of slipping into the stillness of my soul, where words became a hindrance rather than a help. You helped me tune into this stillness and reconnect with the unlimited possibilities of my being. I feel a sense of wholeness as I leave and a deep connection with Mother Earth. Highly recommend to those who are trapped in the rat race of life.

Beautiful setting and wonderful people. I was initially challenged by the retreat, which in retrospect, was a good thing. I hadn't fully understood the extent of the "retreat" nature of the week. Once I adapted to the idea of a very spiritual/reflective retreat, I found it both immensely rewarding, enjoyable and beneficial to me on an unexpectedly deep level. There aren't many yoga teachers who possess the ability and skills to teach on both a physical and spiritual/personal level and make you feel safe enough to embark on this, Soraya is all of these. The activities, lodge and food were really well organised and of high quality and it began to feel like home very quickly.

I have enjoyed myself immensely, you have the most amazing space up here in the mountains that makes people really connect with themselves...to realise fully where they are in their life/journey no matter how hard that can be… I am in awe of the way you live up here

Why is this place so special to me…and others that spend time here?

I believe it’s because there are no distractions to “being” and the absolute naturalness of the environment makes artifice stand out like a sore thumb.

It gives time to experience what life would be like without the “make-up” that we all it on to some degree.
