THE RETREAT EXPERIENCE
What an incredible week of classes, soul food and the most beautiful location, been totally relaxed and restored.
Georgie Courtenay
(Kamalame)
I had the most wonderful week in Kamalame. Getting strong and healthy in the most heavenly of settings. Classes were challenging but well balanced, with a mixture of yoga, barre, pilates and stretching. I finally learned the proper techniques thanks to our incredibly skilled team of teachers. the food was absolutely delicious. Organically grown and locally sourced I already miss the Baliamian welcome and warmth and would recommend spending a week with SLR on this gem Olan Islandi.
Eloise Goldstein
(Kamalame)
I had one of the most restful and regenerative times of my life! This magical island and resort seems like it's out of this world. The classes were of the highest quality and it was definitely some of the best food I had in the Bahamas. the combination of all those
elements makes it blissfully remarkable. Namaste everyone
