These guidelines influence how they interact with one another and uphold high standards in their community life. The Anahata Yoga Retreat, nestled in the scenic surroundings of Golden Bay, offers a tranquil space for individuals seeking personal development and a connection with nature through yoga practices. The trust’s holistic approach to wellness fosters a supportive environment, making it a pivotal resource for community engagement and growth.
