I just got back from a yoga retreat with Elham and Hossein and though I’m a big introvert and was a little anxious to make small talk with the hosts, I had nothing to worry about. We didn’t have small talk, we had BIG talk, and as an introvert on a personal journey of figuring out what I want from life, it was perfect. These two are so passionate and full of life that you feel a connection to them right away.We did mosaic art with Hossein on this retreat, which I didn’t think I would enjoy as much as I did. And he loves it so much, that you can’t help but to start loving it yourself.Elham’s yoga sessions were luxurious. :chef-kiss:. Elham’s yoga is like a deep cleansing for your soul. You just feel so refreshed when you’re done. Like a new person. Very meditative and centering, which is just what I needed.And the food, y’all!! I’m ordering a Persian cookbook tonight. So delicious!Their home and the scenery is beautiful, but the real gem is these lovely hosts. I wanted to stay longer and claim them as my friends. Very good for my soul.
— Patty M
What a beautiful place! From the moment you arrive and drive down the wooded driveway, to seeing the private lake and gorgeous house you feel at peace. The hosts are so welcoming. The house feels energetically clear and well loved. The entire day of doing our yoga sessions, walking in the woods and wonderful meals was what I needed to revive myself. My love to this group!
