On the edge of a mountainous national park, the property sits in a large river valley overlooking rolling hills and in the far distance, the white village of Bornos, situated by the side of a large lake.

THE PROGRAMME
You will enjoy two yoga classes daily with Jess which will awaken your body, mind and spirit in the most enjoyable way.
