Yoga Working Holiday Reviews:

​

Tim Nolan - 5 star

The yoga working holiday in June 2015 was nothing short of a life-changing experience for me. I arrived with a headful of work commitments and accumulated day-to-day 'clutter' and my body calling out for some attention. The yoga and meditation (first time for me), the friendship, good humour and generosity of everyone I met at Casa Mayor, the healthful, satisfying work refreshed and calmed my mind; and the combination of all of the above together with more yoga and fabulous vegetarian food strengthened and reinvigorated my body. The mix of work, rest and yoga is a potent combination that brought me a sense of balance and presence that I believe will always stay with me. I will definitely repeat. Casa Mayor is a very special place and the hosts and yoga specialists, Deirdre and Bill, are very special people.

I did a week-long working yoga holiday with Deirdre and Bill and recommend it to yogis of all levels. While there I met some delightful like-minded people who felt like family within a few days of the holiday. Deirdre is lovely and an incredible chef. Bill is a nice chap with many interesting conversation points. Their four dogs are timid, friendly, well-behaved, and cute. The grounds are awe-inspiring and a pleasure to be immersed in with gorgeous mountain views and sunsets from nearly anywhere on the property. Work was 4hrs/day with one day off. Fun to contribute to the beauty that is Casa Mayor. Pool was so refreshing. 5 Tibetans and meditation in the mornings with gentle relaxing yoga in the evening. Learned a lot and used ropes for first time. Still buzzing from my time there! Thank you, Dierdre and Bill!
