Whats included:
An incredible experience with a fantastic group. The location was absolutely stunning and the resort offered everything required for a relaxing and invigorating stay.
I loved the yoga, which was varied, spiritual and suitable for participants at all skill levels.
Thank you for this amazing yoga retreat Prana Apana, I look forward to the next one.
I joined one of Danielle’s weekly yoga classes in The Greens and as someone who has tried a few different yoga classes around Dubai, what I LOVED about it was that while the flow was simple (or so I thought until I woke up the next day!), she kept building on the class based on my strength and ability that it also felt challenging at the same time. Danielle also encouraged me to think about a pose I haven’t since forever: a headstand! I love that her style of teaching is so approachable and relatable and she always puts her students’ first in her class. Thank you, Danielle for this beautiful practice and I can’t wait to be back.
Each day, immerse yourself in a variety of yoga practices that cater to all levels, from gentle Hatha to dynamic Vinyasa. Our sessions will focus on mindfulness, breathwork, and alignment, allowing you to deepen your practice while connecting with nature. As you flow through asanas surrounded by breathtaking views, you’ll cultivate inner peace and strength.
Experience the restorative power of sound in our dedicated healing sessions. Utilizing instruments such as singing bowls, gongs, and chimes, we will create a harmonious environment that promotes relaxation and emotional release. These sessions are designed to align your energy centers and enhance your meditation practice, leaving you feeling rejuvenated and balanced.
