Aside from the yoga week I booked, I was able to add additional goodies flexibly and according to my needs; thus, the planned yoga week turned into a detox and wellness week. Thanks to Olay, I gained a wonderful insight into yoga and practiced a daily yoga routine that was adequate for me. This routine has made it easier for me to form a permanent habit. And with Yamuna's expertise, this detox and wellness week was a pleasure and very successful. I felt the effects of a cleaner gut very quickly, and it was visible to everyone 👍 The lovingly prepared meals are also a delight. I appreciate the careful selection of fruits and vegetables as sustainability is important to me. As I wanted some time for myself, this retreat was perfect. I was able to focus on myself in peace and in such an idyllic environment that meditation and introspection came easily. What was also very helpful was the room and the super comfortable bed; I was able to regenerate wonderfully. All in all, it was a dreamy, relaxing, and very instructive week.

The guest lodge is beautifully and cozily decorated with many plants, a small "raw food kitchen" with dishes, and a large bed with a good, firm mattress. The lodge has its own terrace with chairs, a sun lounger, and a parasol, very peaceful and secluded amidst almond trees and flowering shrubs in a wonderfully blooming tree and herb garden that is lovingly maintained by Yamuna and Olay. Everything runs slower and more relaxed here. Olay and Yamuna are great, gracious hosts who adapt to each guest and their needs. From the time of the daily yoga class to the composition of the healthy raw breakfast (more sweet or salty) to massages, acupuncture, and other treatments. I had several massages and found them to be very good, especially for relieving acute discomfort. The yoga classes have helped me a lot, and I was able to build my first headstand completely independently here and come out of the position all by myself. I also received very helpful exercises and tips for my wrist problems, which are now invaluable to me in retrospect. The path to the oasis takes about 10-15 minutes and leads over an unpaved hiking trail, so I recommend wearing good shoes and bringing a backpack rather than a suitcase. However, a carrying service is also offered for a small additional charge.
