New year 2016
Our Yoga year started at Trigonos for our 9th annual new year retreat. 18 yoga students, and 6 family members, made up a group of fascinating and generous people. The atmosphere was amazing; set against a backdrop of ever changing light across the mountains, across the vibrant green fields, winds and torrents of rain filled the rivers, whilst the trigonos house became a nurturing haven of log fires, yoga practice and the most nourishing and delicious food.
