If you are looking for a quiet peacefull place to calm your mind and learn more about yoga, life and yourself - this place is perfect. the Center is a beautiful little paradise inbetween nature, green hills and wildflowers. the energy there is pure magic and you can feel the love lavi and samu put into their project. they really live the yogi life and if you are open for this experience you can really learn a lot from them. they welcome you with so much love and you truly feel like home. the work is absolutely fair and you have enough time to explore or to join the classes during the retreat.

It was amazing!! Samu and Lavi really care about you, making sure you have a good time and feel like home. And I did. The work is easy, the hours were kept, and the food is amazinggg! In your free time you can chill in the garden, go to the beach nearby or explore the cities around. You are invited to all yoga classes and meditations, and they're anytime there for questions and help. This stay really had an impact on me, and I'm so thankful. I can only recommend going there! If you're interested in yoga and the life around it, doesn't matter any skill level, you're on the right address! 🫶✨

I was very nervous about my first Worldpackers experience at the Center, but Lavinia & Samu were so welcoming & incredible! It truly felt like home away from home. It was a wonderful experience getting to connect with Lavi, Samu, the other volunteers, the kitchen staff & of course the guests. There was full transparency for expectations when it comes to the work. I would absolutely recommend this experience & would love to come back again!
