Wonderful! I had a great time connecting with everyone during this retreat. June designed this trip to really allow our group to experience memorable aspects of yoga practice, Thai culture, sights and cuisine. The retreat was crafted to suit everyone’s level of comfort and skillset, which made for an enjoyable experience. As a beginner in practicing yoga, I felt both fulfilled in my ability to execute the various poses., and quite restored at the end of the retreat. Our dining experience at Taladya was beyond delicious with freshly prepared meals everyday that truly represented authentic Thai cuisine, with some delicious French additions. Overall, I had a great time and look forward to hearing about/participating in future yoga retreats with June.

Namaste Chiang Mai was an experience of a lifetime! The trip was meticulously planned based on research of our host June Li Lo, who experience each of the excursions prior to the retreat. Our yoga classes were tailor-made to accommodate our specific group. The retreat location was beautiful, the owners and staff were warm and welcoming. I can’t wait to see what is in store for her next retreat!
