Yoga Escapees! return from Loola, Bintan

A BIG THANK YOU to all the participating yogis for a great yoga holiday in Bintan over the 7-9 Oct weekend! Your good spirits, great energy and humour has created a fantastic experience for all of us. We hope everyone has learnt more about the different practices of yoga and how yoga can be intergrated into our daily lives! May the experience encourage you onwards on your path to yoga --- your return to health and wholeness --- in body, mind and spirit!

We would like to share the following pictures with all -- click on the images for larger version. For the folks who could not come this time, we are hearing a resounding clamour from the present batch of yoga escapees to organise another Yoga Escape! ---- so make sure you sign up this time!!
