Immerse yourself in African Djembe Drumming and Yoga - a 'unique experience' in the beauty of the Jewel of the Mediterranean.. Sardinia!

​

Daily Morning Yoga

 

Our 'RhythOm' holiday-retreats, combine two very effective cultural practices - Drumming and Yoga - RhythOm, if you like? :-).. Both activities induce a more calm and relaxed natural 'state' and are best practised with a meditative approach, with similar mind-sets. When brought together, repetitively - overs days at a time, the resulting more calm receptive 'state of being' makes 'the learning process' a much easier one.

 

There will be early morning Yoga to 'set' and provide balance for the day, calming the mind and preparing the body, for a day of continued relaxation!

 

We provide Experienced Teachers and Musicians who provide a wealth of experience in their own speciality, as well as other forms of Culture and Spiritual practice.
