The centre is owned and run by Martin and Fran. They both have a self practice of thirty years, and have been teaching for ten years. They believe yoga to be the most powerful tool for transformation, and are commited to providing the enviroment for personal transformation and growth. Everyone who has stayed at the centre will testify to this.
There is lots to do and see during your stay. Within easy walking distance there are small waterfalls, a rverside cafe and a Spa centre, in the village of Voneshta Voda, where visitors from all over Europe come to take the waters. Food and drink is incredibly inexpensive and freshly prepared, all the cafes offer plentful salads and a full menu.
We are close to the city of Veliko Tarnovo, which is the historic captial of Bulgaria. Veliko is visited by travellers from all over the world and is a centre for culture.
The centre has a large garden with a pool and sun loungers. We also have our own orchard, so there is lots of space. The centre is surrounded by mountains and stunning views. There is a small library for days when you may not want to do very much. The garden is very peacful and relaxing and faces south giving long days of sunshine.
The centre was originally a small holding, which we have completly refurbished to a high standard. The house and barn was built using large beams and natural stone, with natural wood flooring. All the natural beams, stone work and flooring has been exposed and refurbished giving the centre a country house feel.
The barn which is a hundred square metres was refurbished to make a large and airy yoga studio, with rooms at each end of the barn. The barn has a patio that runs the full length, which can give shade when the wather is warm. The studio was built with large picture windows giving views across the mountains.
