Thank you for everything, Lotus Blooming was a wonderful place to start 2012. Thanks to you, Ajan, Lyma and Sylvia, and hope to see you again at your new place. All the best for 2012.

Thank you for a wonderful stay. I wanted to start 2012 on a good note and that has certainly been achieved. I will definitely be recommending Lotus Blooming to friends and family and hope to come back myself one day.

Thank you for your kindness and generosity. You are such an inspiring and very lively woman. You've put together such an amazing retreat - a wonderful collection of nurturing activities. I'll be taking the love, the recipe ideas and asana/pranayama tips and using them regularly. Also, lots of love to Ajan, Anita, Petra and Sylvia for all of their guidance. I hope the New Year starts off brilliantly for you all. Namaste

Caroline, thank you for being you - loving and caring, making me laugh with all your stories and taking care of us all. I had a relaxing week, just what I needed, great yoga with Ajan and Petra who are both great teachers. A big thank you to you all. Om Shanti

Caroline, Sylvia, Petra, Ajan and Anita, you each bring a warmth to my yoga experience. Your enthusiasm and energy is truly heart felt and much appreciated. This is my second time here and am so happy with both my stays, each with a different experience. Thank you for making this special place.

Thank you to Sylvia, Ajan, Petra and you for giving us such a wonderful Christmas retreat. I learned a lot and enjoyed all the wonderful food and conversations. I hope I will be able to come back again some day.

Thank you so much for your friendly and warm way of greeting and being with me. You are a wonderful and unique person and the world would be a better place if there were more people like you. I loved your retreat.

Thanks so much for being so accommodating. I loved hearing all your stories and your energy is truly inspiring. The food was also fabulous.

This is not your local gym yoga - its the real deal. If you didn't arrive here a yoga a yoga and detox aficionado, you will certainly leave one. Thank you.

Thank you for being such a fantastic host and welcoming us into your lovely, cozy home. From the moment I arrived I felt welcomed and at home and all of my worries and stress went away. Ajan is the most amazing yoga instructor and was very patient and caring as well as tough - a brilliant combination. Sylvia makes amazing tortillas and was fantastic at looking after us too! Thank you to Anita for a fabulous, invigorating massage. Thank you all of you!

Thank you again for are amazing full days. I leave restored and relaxed, ready to take on life again in Amsterdam. Being back at Lotus Blooming was as good as the first time - lovely food, amazing hospitality and lots of care.Thank you Ajan for the enlightened conversations and next time I will try my best to keep practicing. See you all soon.

Thank you all so much for my stay at Lotus Blooming. A time away from it all. To think....after my detox and yoga I leave lighter in weight and fuller in heart, feeling healthier in mind and body and ready to face challenges ahead with renewed vigor. The yoga, food and Ayurveda treatments here are excellent - the real thing. This is the best yoga instruction I've ever had. Caroline your welcome and hospitality are fantastic - you are a large hearted woman and a true storyteller. Sylvia thanks for your smile and looking after us so well. Ajan I have learnt so much - you are an incredible yoga teacher - I am determined to continue my practice daily to develop more strength and flexibility and to breathe above all

This is not your local gym yoga - it's the real deal. If you didn't arrive here aficionado, you will certainly leave one. Thank you.

I had the best massages I have ever had anywhere. The yoga and meditation was fantastic. Ajan certainly is a shining star at Lotus Blooming.

Thank you so much for a truly magical experience. I am going home relaxed and refreshed with new plans and techniques for continuing my yoga practice at home. The company, chat, food, environment, yoga, meditation and massage have all been  fantastic. I will be back. Blessings.

Thank you to all of you! Caroline you were to me so much more then a good host and especially thank to Ajan who teached me nothing less than the lessons of my lifetime. All the best.

For me the moment I arrived I felt like I was embraced in a warm hug! So comfortable, quite, friendly and relaxing. Caroline you have done and amazing job conceiving this retreat from the bedrooms to the treatments to the yoga, which has been especially fulfilling for me. Ajan is a treasure and I feel so blessed to have practiced with him. He, along with Lyma, brought my practice to the next level, both physically and especially spiritually. I am so grateful to have had this amazing experience, surrounded by new friends who brought joy to my time here. Thank you for everything, even Super Glue and I do hope to return one day. Sending you lots of positive energy for your business to grow to its deepest and fullest. All the best.

Thank you. Hope to see you again one day. Had a great experience.

Dear Caroline, Ajan, Anita and Sylvia. You are the most amazing people! Thank you so much for the last nine days, I have not ate, slept and done such good yoga practice ever! I feel fully restored and totally energized to take up the world again. I have loved every moment of being here. What you have and started here is very special. I will for sure be back. Ajan and Petra, I have been practicing yoga for many years and

Caroline! WOW! The most fantastic hostess. So welcoming and generous. Everything about this place is perfect. You have really created a piece of heaven on earth. You are a truly inspiring lady and I can´t wait to come back! Ajan, what an amazing man. I could listen to you forever, so profound and intelligent. Meeting you has been a pleasure and an honor. You bring peace and tranquility, and even a bit of magic to this truly amazing  place. I aim to perfect my breathing before I return!! Petra, thank you for teaching me to say "hello to my hamstrings". Your classes are perfect, tough sometimes! But I loved every minute of them and learnt so much. You have made me feel very peaceful. Sylvia! Have had many spanish omelettes from many spanish people, but yours is by far the best! Thank you so much for looking after me. I endeavour to learn spanish for my next visit! Anita, you have magic hands! I have slept so well since my Dhara, thank you for one of the most amazing massages EVER!! Lots of love and thanks to all. See you again!!

Caroline, I think it was written in the stars that I would find your little slice of heaven in the the South of Spain! You have something so special here, all surely the result if you being a very special person, one in a million! I had a wonderful time and feeling fully restored. My one regret is that I am not staying longer. I am going to miss badly your stories and Ajan´s incredible aura. Guess I have to come back regularly and I will have other people tow, especially my sister, a fellow Aries. You will get on like a house on fire! Please thank Ajan, Anita, Petra and Sylvia for me, your special crew. All my love and see you again very soon!

Thank you so much Caroline, Ajan, Anita, Petra and Sylvia for giving me the opportunity to slow down, breathe, eat and take huge pleasure in simple things again. The important things! You are a truly wonderful group of people, with so much heart. I wish you peace, happiness, health and love.

Caroline, your kindness and generosity is what really makes this yoga retreat so special.You really have created a home from home. Thank you for welcoming me into it. Thank you for all the delicious food and the fun chats. I will miss my daily yoga with Petra and Sylvia´s warm smiling face. I have a gut feeling that I will be back in the future. Namaste.

Namaste! Thank you so much for a wonderful experience. You are such good people and create great Karma for the universe. It was a week well spent. Even a big thank you for taking care of me when I was sick in bed with the flu. Kisses for you all!!

Caroline, Sylvia, Petra and Lima. Thank you so much for taking such wonderful care of me this past week. I always felt welcome and well cared for from the minute I was rescued from the Taxi driver until the moment I left. This week has find me to find clarity of thought, create space in my life and jump started my once dormant yoga practice. Absolutely everything was perfect! The food, the wine, the classes, the conversations. I could not ask for a better break from reality! I appreciate all the extra touches too...the candles on the stairs, figs and cherries, beautiful flowers. All in all it was truly a gift and I can not wait to come back again next time I´m in Spain. Thank you! Namaste.

Thank you very much. This has been a special place and time spent with special people. Namaste.

Thank you so much Caroline and Ajan for a wonderful week. I feel I have made some fantastic friends. We will meet again very soon. Stay safe. Love to you all.

Thanks for an unforgettable time! Love.

Thanks darling for looking after us all so wonderfully. It has been a true retreat, an escape from reality. " Will be back!" Love.

Dear Caroline, Ajan, Petra. Thank you for a great redirection in what´s important in life. I have no doubt its the beginning of a new and interesting journey for me. Many thanks.

From the moment we were welcomed by Caroline, we have enjoyed every moment of our stay. The setting is perfect exotic furniture and flowers. The whole atmosphere encouraged us towards physical and mental change. Our rooms / flats contained all we could possibly desire of comfort and practicality. We have slept well, met the day on peaceful balconies with wonderful view to our favourite mountain. Then toddled over to Lotus Blooming, were met by Petra who led us in the directions of positions. We never imagined our bodies would persuade!! Wonderful massages by charismatic Ajan. All has been perfect from start to end. Our own "perfection" we are working at... Thank you so much.

Thank you for everything. This has been absolutely wonderful. Lovely food, lovely wine and Caroline you took good care of us. Love.

Loaded with overwhelming impressions we are now leaving Lotus Blooming and the loveable " mother of all mothers", Caroline. Thank you so much for a wonderful stay and hopefully we will be back some day.

Third time lucky. Its been lovely to return and see you all again and have a week of bliss.Your patience , kindness and company have been a joy. I will take some peace, calm and space with me and continue to remember your advice on the feeling of slowing down and enjoying the moment. Thank you to you all for looking after me so well and sharing your company. Lots of love.

Dear Caroline, Ajan, Petra, Sylvia. Thank you for another fantastic week. As everyone else has already said the combination of marvellous hospitality, delicious food and inspiring yogais a ?   and has recharged my batteries and given me plenty to take home. I am sure I will be back soon ( and will recommending you to all my ? friends who have not found yet the comfort of yoga!) Much love.

I have renamed you "Super Mum"! It´s been such a treat to stay with you and when the love was dry ( or seems to!) at home, we would all know where to come. Next time I shall be bringing my tape recorder for the next installment of your wonderful adventures which need to find their way to Hollywood. I think we could keep Meryl Streep in work for years. The yoga world helps unfolding the fabulous, the wonderful and you certainly deserve your place right in the heart of it. Namaste to you, Deepak nº 2

Dear Caroline. Thank you so much for a wonderful, restful and repairing weekend. You do everything to such a high standard. I have had so much care, love and support from you, Ajan and the girls sharing this holiday. I shall return refreshed, revitalised and ready to focus on the future. You are a wonderful, wonderful lady. I shall of course be back! Much love.

Dear Caroline. A short and sweet stay, energised and replenished. Thank you for welcoming Rhiannon and I so warmly. I will be back. With love to yourself, Ajan, Petra.Thank you for your support. Namaste.

Dear Caroline, My deepest thanks for these wonderful, restful and inspiring 2 weeks I spent in your colourful soul - lifting sanctuary! You are truly and amazing person and  I  much appreciated the tender loving care you imparted, the great tasty food, the chats and above all your warmth and attention. Thank you for going beyond the call of duty every day and for being so kind and generous with your time! I am truly on a path of more mobility thanks to Ajan and Anita. I am hopeful that my journey towards better health and less stress has well started here. With warmest regards and sincere gratitude to you and your team. Love.

Dear all. Thank you so much for taking care of me in just the way I needed. Also to Ajan and Petra for their joyous approach to teaching for helping me understand my body and asanas a little deeper. Thanks to Sylvia for making sure I ate enough! Caroline you have a wonderful spirit and great attitude and you here brought your unique creative talent to conceive and manifest a wonderful yoga experience. Thanks to you all for your wonderful smiles. Once again yoga ( retreat) made a turning point in my life. Heart felt wishes for you ?. Namaste. PS Thanks also to the others on my week for making what it was.

Dear Caroline, Ajan, Petra and Sylvia. I arrived 5 days ago feeling stiff, stressed and exhausted. After spending every day laughing, stretching, eating, chanting, sleeping and tasting wine I feel fabulous! You have created something so wonderful here, the  perfect balance of hard work and fun. Thank you so much. With love and gratitude.

Dearest Caroline, Ajan, Petra and Sylvia. Thank you so much for restoring me in the best way possible. I have felt relaxed and happy more and more each day. The food and yoga were equally excellent and even better conversation! Thank you! Love.

Dear Caroline, Ajan, Petra and Sylvia. Its Saturday evening, a peaceful fire is burning and I am looking back on a special week. I came over here to find out if yoga could bring me anything good. And I believe if I´m able to five it a place in my way of living it certainly can. Tomorrow I am flying back to Holland with lots of warm memories an my mind. Thank you all for these extraordinary days in beautiful ( rainy) Marbella.

Dear Caroline, Ajan, Petra, Thank you so much for a lovely three days. I feel relaxed, stretched, achy, rejuvenated and very content! Its been an intensely peaceful experience, if that is possible? You have the perfect elements in balance Caroline with a lovely homely environment, great teaches and treatments, very tasty food and a warm, welcoming and nurturing team! Many thanks!

Caroline, its been the most wonderful week I had at your retreat.
Thank you for  all your great kindness, hospitality and friendliness with which you created a fabulous atmosphere! You made me feel home kind of from the very beginning on enabling me to create space for all the stretching, the openness and the awareness to enjoy everything at it fullest. Thank you Ajan and Petra for all your effort and patience to let us work at our own pace. I am taking home a big deal of ideas and the philosophy behind. If there is one thing to improve on it would be to stretch out the yoga classes a bit. Me personally, I would love appreciate to start out in the morning at 8 and in the evenings at 7 or maybe even 8.
I am suggesting this also in the name of my friends who enjoyed this week together with me, as we all agreed on that would be an improvement. If this is not possible, no worries: this is just great as it is! Thank you all for an awesome time and thank you too, Sylvia. Lots of love to all of you!

Caroline, its been a wonderful week. Thank you so much for your hospitality. I have been well stretched, fed and thoroughly spoilt! Your little family has been terrific. Sylvia, Petra, Ajan and Jose have all made it a wonderful experience. I am returning to London a new woman. Best regards.

Caroline, what a wonderful time. So good to have met you and all those that work for you. The yoga, walks in the mountains have been wonderful. Thank you to Sylvia for the excellent food, to Ajan, Petra and Jose for all their care. A journey of happiness and many laughs. With love.

Caroline, Ian was right after he had spoken on the phone to you, "Diane, you´r going to love her, I know you will have a great time". Husbands!! there always right! I can´t wait to thank him for my wonderful yoga holiday gift and tell him how right his first impression of you was. I could wax lyrical on how great everything has been.... but all I¨m going to do is say "thank you" and hope one day to meet you again. You have a great team. Thank you Ajan, Sylvia, Petra, Jose. One for the 4 laughing ladies.

Dear Caroline, I arrived here on my 45th birthday with an open mind and few expectations. I certainly had not anticipated that these brief three day could make such an impact on my life, my outlook and my yoga practice! Thank you, thank you to your wonderful team. Petra is an amazing teacher who has re-ignited the yoga spark within me. I leave tomorrow a true yogi-in-the-making! Anita´s massage was music for my soul. And you Caroline, are an inspiration. You ooze genuine joy-for-life from every cell. Keep on dreaming. Much love.

Thank you Caroline and your fantastic committed and focused team, for a wonderful 2 weeks. I will recommend you to the world. I wish you luck and happiness in all you do. I am definitely coming back. Lots of love.

You are extra-ordinary people. We had the most wonderful time with you. The yoga is amazing. I feel so good after just a week. You look after us in such a loving and caring way, we just don´t want to leave! See you soon when you have arranged the retreat for mothers and fathers day. We will be there. Have a beautiful New Year. Love.

This was my first yoga retreat and certainly won´be my last! I feel blessed to have experienced this special holiday over Christmas with lovely people around me including Zoe, Cassie, Taka and Becky. Caroline, you are the hostess with the most in the truest sense! Your warm smile, kind eyes and open heart made me feel right at home. I could listen to your live experiences all day long. Thank you for everything. Sylvia, you don´t stop all day yet always look after everyone and everything with a smile, you´re a beautiful "chica". Ajan, being around you has made me feel happier, the yoga, the breathing and the wonderful massages has given me a new lease of life and I´m going home all energised! Thank you, thank you, thank you. I look forward to seeing you all again. Love.

From the moment I arrived Caroline and her team made me feel welcome and at home. The house is kept spotless by Sylvia; the food is fantastic and plentiful. Ajan is a wonderful yoga teacher, the real deal. I really did not want to go home. Caroline you really are an inspiring and entertaining hostess. I will be back.

I´m sitting by the fire on my last night at Lotus Blooming. In Madrid they told me it never rained here in Marbella but even the rain is peaceful here. It has been an amazing experience for me here for the past 10 days. The classes with Petra and Ajan were wonderful. I learned so much and realised how much more there is to know. I love your sense for colour and how very comfortable la casa 24 is. I loved how every yoga class I had a different colour combination of mat, bolster, blanket and pillow! The meals were fantastic and so nicely presented. Gracias Sylvia! Staying on by myself for another 4 nights has been so good. You made me feel very welcome and I have really enjoyed my time here very much. Muchisimas gracias a todos! Besos.

Thanks a lot for an extremely lovely week. This retreat has been a wonderful experience for all three of us. It is an amazing oasis you have build Caroline, where you can find nourishment for the body and mind. The atmosphere here is so warm and loving and it is amazing to see and feel how you all put your heart and soul into this. Caroline, your food has been fantastic and thank you for opening the retreat for us! Petra and Ajan, thanks for some amazing hours! We all have learned a lot from you two. You are both very wise and inspiring people. Sylvia, thank you for taking care of us. Thanks for brining a smile to our faces and souls. Big love. John, Alexandra and Cecilie.

To Caroline and all at Lotus Blooming, thank you for welcoming me here this week under unusual circumstances! I have really enjoyed my stay here and although I was by myself I never alone. Your warmth, humour and delicious food and kind hospitality are true gifts. My yoga practice will never be the same again! Ajan´s teaching has been very inspiring and his firm patience was exactly what I needed. With good wishes and continued success to you all.

I cannot thank you Ajan, Petra, Sylvia and Lima enough for what has been a very special week here for me at Lotus Blooming. I have been overwhelmed by everyones commitment, patience and sincerity, not to mention your endless kindness and generosity.
I would normally tip people for excellent service but felt unsure about how to do so here. Hence the enclosed token. Ironically, I don´t think that what you all at Lotus Blooming have to give can be measured in financial terms, so to attempt to do so is perhaps inappropriate. I just know I feel indebted to you all. My experience here has been invaluable and will stay with me for ever.

Thank you for your gifts of love, care, peace and openness once more. For the second time I have been blessed in spending a week with you all and sharing the joy and serenity you bring to your guests. It felt like "coming home" in a way. My mind is continuing to become more open (and my hips but not so much!) and since May I have learnt so much from you and used it to improve my life ( and yoga). Your warmth and expert lessons are really very special and I will have new ideas and practises to take home with me. You made the retreat feel like being part of a loving family who wants the best for everyone there and I have loved every minute. Meeting Eileen has also made the week special and I have learned from her too. Thanks Ajan for the "curry" massage, my body feels much the better for them and the Nasyam. I am still thankful for your way of making me consider difficult questions / challenges and giving me the encouragement to tackle them and let go of fear. Don´t change your natural way, it is a gift. All my love to you and I will be back.

Thanks to all of you for sharing your energy with us this week and giving the best of you to help us to feel energised and ready to back into our lives. Caroline, thank you for opening your door for us. I loved the storied about your mother. I carry you in my heart and hope to see you soon again.

Thank you for a fantastic week. Most enjoyable. Excellent yoga with Petra and Ajan. Would loved to have been walking. Treatments were wonderful, the food and company very enjoyable. Hope to see you soon. I wish you every success in your next retreats. Namaste

Thank you for making the last 10 days a really relaxing and happy time. I am going back to London with my energy restored and a smile on my face. Arjan, thank you for the wonderful treatments and yoga. I feel much better for the nose clearing. Petra, I have enjoyed your classes so much and I feel I have regained a lot of my flexibility and strength.
Sylvia, thank you for being so friendly and kind. Caroline, thank you for your warmth and welcome. It has been like staying home ( but in a good way1). I wish you all well. Namaste.

I genuinely don´t think words would do justice to the two weeks that I have spent at Lotus Blooming but I guess the archive requires documented evidence so here it goes!
Thank you from the bottom of my heart for the incredible kindness you have shown me since day one. I booked in for a week and could not leave the holistic experience, the spiritual journey, the yoga practice, the food, the meditation, the breathing, the love, the laughter, the relaxation after such a short time. Thank you for extending your hospitality and grace to me for another week!! I look forward to seeing you very very soon! I MISS YOU ALREADY!! Thank you. Ajan, I had to take my pen off the page and smile for a few moments and breathe. You nurtured my spirit so carefully for two weeks and have shown me how to breath properly! Thank you for showing me how to open up and how to let others help me.Thank you for our chats, the massages, mantras and your love. See you very soon. Petra thank you so much for giving me that "jump out of bed" feeling that I don´t think I have had for years! Just loved your yoga classes. They were so true, so playful. I have learned so much and you will always be in my practice. See you very soon.

Dear beautiful, strong, joyful woman. There are no words to describe how much you have added to my life. This is no goodbye but see you again, till than and I will carry you in my heart and breath. To Petra, you learned me to soften and stretch opening my heart. To Sylvia, your smile every day and humour made my heart leap with joy. To Ajan, you touched my soul. Thank you all. My house is your house

This week was really amazing! Thanks to you, your great stories, all the laughs we had, your search for excellence re the food, the teachers, the massages, Sylvia. I will always remember you running with your pigskin suitcase to the plane. You really should write your memoirs! Namaste. With love. P.S Our co-guest Orla really added to this week, she was also amazing.

The past 4 days has been just what the doctor ordered. I feel treated and pampered. I am a yoga convert... I´m going back to find myself a regular class. Thank you to Petra, Ajan and Sylvia too for your insight and care. I hope Lotus Blooming continues to thrive

Will any other yoga retreat live up to this?!! Caroline you are a wonderful woman and I have so much enjoyed your company. This has been a very special & important weekend for me. When Paul died something died in me too. Although I can never get that back some seed has been sown here at Lotus Blooming that will lead me on a new journey and new happiness. Thank you all for letting me share your lives for this weekend.

What a special place. I feel so relaxed in mind and body. Thank you for your warmth and hospitality. You, Petra, Ajan and Sylvia have made the last 4 days so special. I just wished I could bottle Ajan´s voice and take it home!!

Caroline I have been on many yoga holidays and keep searching for the right and truly special one - I knew I would find it some day and at last I have.....Lotus Blooming is so special in many respects, accommodation, food, hospitality, all good and the yoga truly amazing, I love that it is so different with Ajan and Petra. A truly fantastic find, I almost want to keep it to myself - but will definitely spread the word. What makes it special is your attention to detail Caroline and in putting the guest first - this comes across in all aspects of the retreat. Your warmth and care is intoxicating. Ajan a true inspiration - I felt truly humbled in your presence. Petra I absolutely loved your classes. I will be back....

What a retreat, and what a welcome! This week has been a journey of highs and lows, exploration and introspection but throughout it all there has been your calm, stable presence, watching, listening, nurturing and caring. I have enjoyed my time so much in your beautiful house. The food has been delicious, so lovingly prepared and presented, I have appreciated this so much, as much a feast for the eyes as the body. To Petra and Ajan thank you so much for your knowledge, patience and inspiration. A special thank-you for a wonderful Dhara massage Ajan, truly a water-shed for me. To Sylvia, a lovely lady, quietly and efficiently looking after us. I have been in the right place at the right time in my personal development. Namaste

Wow! is all I can say. I came here sceptical about how I would enjoy the trip of only veggie food and yoga, but funnily enough you have converted me Caroline :) When I told my friends what kind of a holiday I was going on, they called me a hippy, which made me laugh. If yoga and vegetarian food is associated with being a hippy, I am a hippy for ever more :)..... Also you have provided a place where people can meet some truly beautiful and like minded people. I have enjoyed the company of the other guests from Norway and Japan hopefully will be able to keep in touch with them. And of course return to this beautiful place you have created. To Ajan and Petra, I truly enjoyed your classes. Finally to Sylvia she was a joy to listen to, even though I couldn't understand a word she said. She was like a second mother. Thank you Caroline I have enjoyed the retreat immensely and your company.

Thanks again Caroline for a wonderful stay, Its always difficult filling the expectations when you have been to a place before and just had a great time. But you all together, Caroline, Sylvia, Ajan, Petra and Jose met all my expectations and more! It makes my heart smile when I see this little piece of heaven.This time I met some friends from Japan and Ireland that I will keep within my heart and wish them all the best in life. Namaste

My stay at Lotus Blooming has been a wonderful experience and one of the best holidays I've taken. I would highly recommend this retreat to anyone wishing for a relaxing break and a place to restore their health and wellbeing. Your attention to detail was evidenced in the generous selection and serving of nutritional valuable foods, in the stylishly decorated and tranquil atmosphere of the accommodation provided and the well balanced scheduled yoga practice. I found both practitioners to be clearly skilled and experienced and was introduced to different styles of yoga. Learning the correct breathing techniques will be of great benefit to everyday life. I came here with limited knowledge of the benefits of yoga but am going away with fresh knowledge and tips for healthy living, I will definitely incorporate yoga in my life when I go back to the U.K.

Thank you for being such a gracious and wonderful host and tour guide over this past week. We couldn't have asked for anything more, from the food, amazing juice drinks, wine and all the way to your company and other guests. And of course the amazing yoga instructors, Ajan and Petra, with their hands on directions pushing us past our limitations and beyond, while also taking into consideration any injuries we came in with to help us overcome. This is such a beautiful country and city.... We hope to see you again sometime soon!

This week at Lotus Blooming was so much better than I could have imagine. Your kindness and openness made me feel so well. I will recommend this beautiful retreat to anyone who wants a little piece of heaven.

What a warm, generous bundle of energy you are! sincere thanks for your care, hospitality and sharing the tales of your interesting life. Your team are also beautiful and have looked after us all so well. Ajan - what a smile, what energy, what amazing healing skills too. Thanks for your kindness in making me try to chant - I wish I could have a recording of your magical voice, I will keep trying. Sylvia - thanks for your tireless work and lovely smile, it was a privilege to hear your Ukrainian song. petra - your yoga sharing was challenging physically and spiritually but also so gentle and encouraging, I have and will continue to improve. The walks with Linda were really lovely at the start of the day - even in the rain.

Thank you for a wonderful week - as everyone has written before, your warmth and special attention to all aspects of the stay make this a very special place. The yoga has been fantastic - a brilliant way to start learning about the practice and the wider ways in which it can be incorporated into life. I hope that I will be able to take all the learning forward when I get home, I will definitely be seeking out classes and remembering to breathe! Thanks to Ajan, Petra, linda and Sylvia for making the stay so relaxing and enjoyable.

You are the most caring, generous and gracious host I have ever met. Your welcoming smile makes people around you feel very special. I have enjoyed every moment of my stay and all the little chats we had. I will cherish this experience for ever. Your team is absolutely fantastic and with each and everyone of them I bring back a gift for life. Thanks to Ajan, Petra, Sylvia and Linda for their wisdom, serenity, generosity and caring, their knowledge will help me enter a new phase in my life with a more open heart and mind. Thank you so very much.

Thank you so much for your wonderful hospitality. I will miss your wonderful smile and warm heart. I have learned so much about myself here and I haven't been able to relax this much since I was 10 years! I will cherish this experience and hope to continue with a yoga mind set into my life at home. Practicing yoga in such a beautiful, serene and safe environment allowed me to take it to another level. The mix of physical and mental growth in class was amazing. I loved listening to your amazing life stories and hope to keep in touch! Thank you so much.

From the moment I walked into the house I fell in love with the colour's and the immediate feeling of sanctuary. This week was so important for me to find sanctuary within myself. To remember my strength and flexibility of mind and body.
I have felt very looked after and indeed spoilt. Everything is and was wonderful. Thank you all so very much. I walk out of here with a straight back and a sparkle in my eye. Again some day.

Thanks again for a wonderful yoga retreat. It was my second time and there is nothing that we could fault. The yoga was just heavenly, thanks to Petra and Ajan (where does he get that wonderful voice from?) Loved my fellow guests Birgit and Elisabeth, 2 very beautiful people. The walks with Jose finished it all off. Thank you so much Caroline and look forward to see you next year.

Thank you so much for a wonderful holiday! Perfect combination of delicious food, yoga with Petra, walks with Linda and treatments with Ajan! my yoga glow is back. Now I can go back to Warsaw and give some of that amazing energy to my students. You are such a beautiful person inside and out and I feel so lucky to know you. I hope to be back soon.

Thank you for welcoming me into your oasis of happiness, laughter and calm. This past week has nurtured my body, mind and heart. I have enjoyed my daily walks and your delicious food. The yoga with Petra has been an incredible experience for me. I'm stronger and more flexible and I also know myself so much better. She has a special gift and I feel so privileged to have learned from her. I've felt so at home sipping tea by your fire in the evenings and enjoying your stories. I am leaving here a different person, both physically and mentally. The treatments from Ajan have changed me physically. As someone who practices treatment, it has been delightful to be treated. Thank you for caring for me with such enthusiasm and love.

I have spent an amazing week with two wonderful women. You have both made me smile and laugh everyday with your stories and wise tales. Having Maggie as my yoga and walking buddy has made the week a challenging and enjoyable time, I have been able to refocus and eat good food which will inspire my cooking when at home. I will be returning as this will be a regular treat to myself. Just wanted to add about how amazing Petra is as a yoga teacher. She has watched and learnt how my body is able to do yoga poses and has stretched me to my limits which no other teacher has done. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.

I feel like I've spent a week being bred and nurtured in the heart of a beautiful lotus flower. The love and kindness that radiate from the heart of this lotus - you - is truly a blessing on this earth. The unique combination of your gentle friendship and support combined with Wendy's compassionate and intuitive yoga teaching along with Ajan's magnificent healing hands have allowed me to bloom. May I radiate all you have given me back into my world back in Scotland. May all the kindness that you have all given reflect back on you ten thousand fold.

Ajan, Elena, Dhara, Abhyamgam, Reflexology, Reiki, Wendy, Care, Love, Gillian, Linda, Friendship, Nurtured, cared-for, loving, open, replenished heart, me. Week too short......Wonderful recuperation prescription! Thank you.

Yet again another amazing holiday with you. My second retreat with you this year has been another fantastic experience full of relaxation, laughter and joy and of course the best yoga! My heartfelt thanks to you and I look forward to seeing you again next year.

I had a fantastic time here and want to thank Caroline for her incredible hospitality and generosity of nature. She is an inspiration in herself. Also thank you to Sylvia for her hard work, Wendy for working us hard, Linda for her beautiful and serene walks and Ajan for the magic hands. The best retreat I've ever been on.......a retreat with an emphasis on treat

This has been a truly Nirvana like experience for me these past few days here. I feel very blessed to have discovered your little haven here. What makes it so special is your personal touch to every simple aspect of the retreat. You are an amazing, fascinating, inspiring, interesting and strong woman.

Thank you for a marvellous week! Your hospitably is outstanding, your food delicious. Thank you Wendy for inspiring yoga. We will keep you all in our hearts.

Thank you for an amazing week. I will keep it in my heart and remember it when times are hard. Hope to come back. I will recommend it to all my friends.

! have had an amazing week. the food, your house and the yoga is all the best ever. I think that this might be a life changing event for me. I have had so much anxiety but now I have been given a perfect tool to handle the stress of everyday life. I will be back, until then thank you.

"What an amazing time I've had. The experience has inspired me to focus more on my health and well-being. The yoga, the area, the good food all ten out of ten. The only improvement would be if it could be made into 10 days."

"Thanks for this amazing holiday. I can't remember the last time I enjoyed a holiday so much. The yoga was sensational and I felt very welcomed in your home. You are a perfect host and I love to come soon again. Thanks again for all the effort and a big thanks to Wendy I have learnt so much. Lots of love."

"Thank you so much for the experience of a lifetime. I thoroughly enjoyed my time in your beautiful retreat with excellent yoga, delicious food, amazing weather and best of all lovely warm-hearted people. I will cherish my memories of this special place and look forward to a return sometime in the future. All my best wishes."

"It was my first trip away on my own to do yoga and I couldn't have picked a better place! You have a wonderful house in a lovely place and being able to do all our yoga outside has been a dream! Maybe I was extra lucky this time and my group have been the perfect mix. I'm sad I only stayed part of the week but am leaving on a high. So thank you for everything… the house, the food, your hospitality and your kindness. I'll never forget."

"Thank you for an absolutely fabulous week. The perfect blend of yoga, relaxation & amazing food. Wonderful hospitality really completed the week feeling re-energised. Bliss! Will recommend it highly to all. Many thanks once more."

"Thanks for a wonderful week. The hospitality, food and yoga were fantastic. Many thanks again, will recommend to all my friends."

"What can I say after a week of inspiration, your never ending hospitality around me, the wonderful yoga classes, the food (how could I ever think I could without meat?), and the lovely morning walks with you, Cathy and Lucienne? Namaste!"

"I had discovered Lotus-blooming in summer on the Internet and knew I had done the right choice when I first met Caroline. Lotus blooming is a wonderful place: warm, healthy, colourful and personal. The right atmosphere to relax, take care of yourself, to simply enjoy life and: to practice Yoga! The Yoga classes are a pure joy, the exact measure of ambitious workout and relaxation. If I manage to continue my morning Yoga at home, it is because Wendy made me discover a gentle way to workout and respect your body that I just don't want to miss anymore. I really enjoyed my retreat & hope to be able to participate again soon."

"Thank you so much for everything - your thoughtfulness, kind hospitality, fabulous yoga, amazing food ( almost too good) and general kindness in the past week. I've been so spoiled, traveling for the next few weeks seems almost too much trouble! just what I needed."

"I have to tell you, how much I enjoyed staying at your wonderful retreat. You are an excellent host, interesting, caring and with a wonderful sense of humour. I enjoyed every second at Lotus Blooming. I came home relaxed, refreshed and full of strength. And it lasts! My husband is thankful and I'm sure my children are happy too, that i spend such precious time at your house. I can enjoy my everyday life again. Thank you! Wendy was an excellent teacher. I could improve my practice which is nice and motivates to keep on going and I enjoyed the company with Maggie, Jenni and Elisabeth a lot. It was wonderful having met you all."
