It was a second time at Samyama and I had a great time there. The villa is beautiful, comfortable and superbly located. The team is extremely friendly and helpful. However, I was a tad disappointed on 2 major ingredients - yoga and food. I found yoga classes to be dominated by talk/meditation and fairly little and easy physical exercise. As the teachers were mostly changing, there was a long-ish introduction and general slow start. All guests agreed that Ashtanga was the favourite class of all. Some classes were plain boring and childish. Would be great the teachers manage expectations and adjust classes according to guests wishes. Unfortunately, I came back less fit than I went to to the retreat and that was a huge impact for the overall experience. As for the food, I was looking forward to Kunle's great recipes and was devastated he was not at the retreat. I found the food good but unexciting. But maybe it's just my high expectation and great memories from last time. Also it was a small group of us, so I understand that the selection could have been reduced. Just an observation. As always, hanging bridges is a huge hit and great day out. I enjoyed the dinner Esther took us at a local restaurant some 30min from Granada. I would recommend this be offered to the guests as an option for Thur dinner. I mostly enjoyed the beautiful room and the view and exceptionally accommodating team. Many thanks!
