Very kind, professional and supporting
Very kind, professional and supporting way of teaching meditation and yoga for different levels. The School is located outside Kathmandu on the mountain, thus the air and environment is fresh and calm with a beautiful view to the KTM Valley. Still the way there is smooth and takes about 30 mins from Thamel. Rooms are comfy, food was amazing, and really we received a very good foundation of self practise with understandable explanations and support. Everyone is kind, flexible and supportive. Thank you so much!!! 🙏🏼🙏🏼🫶🏼☺️☀️
