Tickets are no longer available for this event
Join Bodhi Jeffreys and Majbritt Cristel Kiss as they weave their work together for a journey of self-discovery, healing, peace and joy on Margaret Island in the middle of the Danube River in Budapest. The acclaimed 4-Star Danubius Health Spa Resort Margitsziget is the ideal natural setting for this restorative retreat.
Majbritt will lead sessions of Hatha Yoga, Vinyasa Yoga and Yin Yoga throughout the retreat, allowing your mind to rest and your heart to open. One of her great gifts is how she easily provides beginners with a great yoga experience while assisting those experienced in yoga to new levels.
Bodhi's warm and soothing voice will bring you into deep states of awareness, peace and joy that will be with you long after you leave the retreat. He will support you in being more gentle with yourself and to effortlessly live more in harmony with those around you.
The healing waters of the thermal baths are renowned for supporting the healing of a wide variety of health challenges, including digestive, liver, kidney and gallbladder issues. And if you're generally healthy, the waters can help bring you to new levels of wellbeing.
You will return home feeling replenished, fully alive, in balance, with a newfound sense of freedom.

"Majbritt is that kind of person who is born with a special gift full of compassion. She has developed and refined this gift, which she passes on/transmits where ever she goes. Her yogaclass is gentle, but filled with the depth and insight she has gained through her own experience. I highly recommend her and look forward to more yoga with her. " ~ Lene Bjergland, Psychotherapist & MA
"My first yoga retreat ever was with Majbritt Kiss on Margaret Island in Budapest and it was truly magical. Majbritt is a very attentive, competent, inspiring, and deep yoga teacher who makes each yogi feel special and recognized. There was a special bond created between us all, included Majbritt, whom I will never forget. Thank you for five fantastic days." ~ Iben Andersen
