I just returned from Tarifa, Spain! Everyday and for breakfast, lunch and dinner, we watched from across the shores, the different changing sceneries of the spectacular African Coast! The experience was just extraordinary -from the gorgeous venue, to the expansive surroundings to the incredible beautifully prepared gourmet vegetarian meals! We bathed in alot of wonderful yoga with our beloved teacher Jeanne Heileman, took in moonlight sightings, the Mediterranean Sea, fabulous massages, new lovely friiendships et al. It was so wonderful, healing and so deliciously romantic that I felt I married myself! 🥰 Definitely a must do for people needing self care and practicing self love. Thank you Paloma and SHAMA for such an amazing experience! This was so special. 🙏

I recently had the pleasure of attending Shama Retreats Yoga in Nature, and it was truly an exceptional experience. From the moment I arrived, I was greeted by a warm and inviting atmosphere that set the tone for the entire retreat. One of the standout aspects of the retreat was the amazing teacher, Jeanne Heileman. Her deep wisdom and knowledge of yoga philosophy and anatomy were evident in every class. Jeanne has a unique ability to connect with her students on a profound level, guiding us through transformative yoga practices that went beyond the physical postures. Her teachings left a lasting impact on me, and I felt a deeper understanding of yoga and its principles. The retreat was beautifully organized, thanks to the incredible hostess, Paloma. Her attention to detail was exceptional, and she ensured that every aspect of the retreat was taken care of. Paloma's passion for creating a memorable experience was evident in the carefully planned excursions throughout Tarifa. Exploring the stunning surroundings, from the picturesque beaches to the charming town, added an extra layer of magic to the retreat. Now, let's talk about the food. The meals provided at Shama Retreats were unlike any other retreat I have experienced. Not only were they vegan, but they also incorporated Ayurvedic principles. The dishes were not just nourishing but presented with such artistic flair that each meal felt like a feast for the senses. The attention to detail in the flavors, textures, and overall presentation was simply outstanding. I left each meal feeling satisfied, nourished, and amazed by the culinary creations. Overall, my experience at Shama Retreats Yoga in Nature was nothing short of exceptional. The combination of Jeanne Heileman's insightful teachings, Paloma's impeccable hosting, and the incredible food made this retreat a truly transformative experience. I would highly recommend Shama Retreats to anyone looking to deepen their yoga practice, connect with nature, and indulge in a truly remarkable retreat experience. I know that this won’t be the last time I traveled with this group. Thank you lots - Nathalie
