Lotus Love Yoga Retreats are my absolute Joy! Happiness is my Highest intention because when people experience inspiration, friendship, love and connection they feel moments of joy and this is nurture – nourishment for the body, mind, soul. Happiness is a quality of sattva, spiritual luminosity that awakens ananda, the innermost bliss that is your true nature. This is what I love to cultivate through the sadhana and sangha of yoga. This is why I do what I do! You are so welcome to join us somewhere wonderful in the world.
