Testimonials

"Rejuvenating"

Ira's retreat was the perfect way for us to detox, rejuvenate and also spend some quality time together. As entrepreneurs and founders of businesses, both of us have busy schedules. It is difficult to incorporate both times for health and also for each other, so Ira's yoga retreat really was the perfect combination of both.
