“Relaxation in an amazing location
Many will know Manuel for his yoga, osteopathy and healing touch in London but this is a another level
Here in Trujillo there is the whole aspect of Spanish hospitality
The town is a delight and there are many lovely bars and cafes to share a drink, relax and talk therapy. Works a treat!!”
“A rare treat * * * * *
A week of Yoga and walking in Spain combined with Manuel and Brandon’s superb cooking and company was honestly a joy from start to finish
The detail and insight Manuel gives with the yoga opens up a completely new way of deepening one’s practice.
His knowledge and sensitivity to body movement is, in our experience, unique …
“A perfect package of delights
The yoga classes, the utterly delicious meals, your excellent company, wandering the streets of Trujillo, breakfasting in the square and enjoying the pool with the locals
You both seemed so spontaneous and relaxed while managing to be perfectly organised
I so enjoyed it. Thank you a thousand times Manuel and Brandon. It was just splendid
