"Thank you so much for your insight, your time, the marvelously tasty meals, the profound and absorbing conversations. It has been a mind-boggling experience that I will never forget. In the realm of yoga, it simply cannot get any better. Thank you so much for awakening me!"

"A deep feeling of gratitude grips me. What a week! If I could change one thing, one second - I wouldn’t. Ever since my arrival on Sunday, I bathed in each and every moment. The food, the yoga sessions, the atmosphere, the treatments, the conversations, the group: I couldn’t imagine anything better!"

"Grazie for inviting us into your calming, soothing, compassionate and caring universe! Thank you for taking such good care of my heart and mind, body and soul and for expanding our horizons."

"I am sitting at the dining table on this beautiful morning after a good night's sleep with the sun shining down radiantly on everything, including my daughter reading a book at the pool. The stay here has been a pleasure and a delight. The house, the people, the yoga, the food, the treatments - it has been simply fabulous. Thank you for all the yoga you have taught me, Laura, and for constantly taking me, gently but at the same time firmly, towards something better. You are sooooo good! And I am so grateful to Tobi for taking care of us with such good food and all his knowledge about nutrition. And I just want to say to both of you: it means so much to me, your dedicating yourselves to helping people who need loving care, and in doing so making the world a better place."

"You are a huge inspiration for me and you have altered my wild and turbulent life, moving me in a more positive, calmer direction. This is just what I needed - a counter-movement staving me off from burnout."
Marvin O., 29 years, Dubai, UAE

"Thank you for your support and inspiration bringing me back to my own deep Self, my essence, for helping me find my Self again, to feel again, to flow within and with all about, to be in the moment, in the here and now in my body, to strengthen my love for my Self. It is a very moving experience to realise how much can change and be changed within such a short span of time, five or six days. Thank you for the safe, sheltered space you create with your superb, wonderful and amazing yoga sessions, the deliciously lovely and nourishing food and all your countless and invaluable input and ideas."
