September 2nd – 7th – A non-residential retreat which focuses on the physical practice and philosophy of yoga from the perspective of experienced yogi James de Maria. “Learning the many gifts of yoga is not a discovery. It is a re-discovery”.  Join James on his roof-top in the pine-scented air of the beautiful village of Sant Joan.  6 x 2 hour daily yoga classes @ €280.   For clients of all yogic disciplines and levels.
