Sandra, Switzerland
"I feel very privileged to have experienced the Center 1001 dance & yoga retreat with Anasma and Samantha Emanuel in Sorrento, Italy.Sam & Anasma are both on their own amazing teachers with deep knowledge of the body, the breath and the art of moving. Receiving their generous teachings combined, witnessing how the content resonated from one to another teacher was truly special. The wonderful location, the delicious organic homegrown, handmade and refined meals and last but not least the joyful spirit of the participants are also the reasons why will come back for another round (^_^) We planted a lot of seeds during the retreat: concepts, techniques, inspiration and I want to cultivate them and grow them each at their rhythm."

Un travail en profondeur dans une ambiance bienveillante, apaisante, sans oublier l'humour. Un cadre magnifique, parmi les oliviers et l'odeur des citronniers. Se sentir revivre...😍"

Training under lemon trees with two of my favourite experts in the paradise that is Relais Regina Giovanna in Sorrento - can it get any better?
