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

​

Daily Morning Yoga

 

Our 'RhythOm' holiday-retreats, combine two very effective cultural practices - Djembe percussion and Yoga - hence - 'RhythOm', both activities encourage a more calm and relaxed natural 'state' and are best practised with a meditative approach with similar mind-sets.

When brought together, repetitively - in continuity and over 'days at a time', the resulting more calm receptive 'state of being' makes the learning process a much easier one.

 

For RhythOm 8 -13 October 2026 yoga will be facilitated and taught by Michal Stewart of Shanta Vira Yoga - for more info on Michael go to  shantavirayoga.org

​

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!
