“Thank you Janice for a trip I will remember forever. Meditating in temples, watching the monkeys climb up the monastery walls from my hotel window, doing yoga outside while watching the morning mist lifts from the mountains, saying silent mantras wile bumping along the crazy, twisting roads to Trongsa are all memories I will treasure. It was a joy to visit beautiful Bhutan and meet it’s friendly, open people. it was a privilege to travel with you on what was truly a journey of mind, heart and spirit.”
Kristin, Ottawa Canada
Having practiced yoga for a number of years, I can truly say that Janice is one of the best teachers with whom I have ever had the pleasure of working. Each of her classes has a focus, and that focus will change from week to week. Her instructions are clear and she makes it very clear that each person’s practice is their own practice, she is there as a guide. Having said that, she is also mindful and aware of each participant and will offer individual comments to ensure that all asanas are being done correctly. I wholeheartedly recommend Janice’s yoga classes.”
David, Cobourg Canada
“The beauty, the wonder and the inspiration of Bhutan will not leave you during your stay. Any negative feelings or doubts just dissipate and the people and the land welcome you into their arms with big smiles and bigger hearts.
Bhutan is the perfect backdrop to a Yoga and self discovery holiday. This is an experience you’ll never forget and remain in your heart forever.”
JENNIFER, LONDON UK
“ My flight was delayed and I missed my connections however there was a wonderful response from Yoga Travels and everything was sorted out and I still made the tour. Much appreciated.”
Sarah, London England
“ Bernard Bacle, at Club Aventure, is a very resourceful travel agent – and a very nice person (…) In my experience, going through him has never been more expensive than buying online and the big bonus is that he can link the flights so that travelers aren’t stranded if they miss a connexion due to weather or a late plane. I have booked my flights through him for 25 years and never regretted it (…) and everything can be done online.”
