What’s your favourite thing about the retreat location and have you ever been to Thailand?
Bonnie: Reformer classes everyday on retreat is definitely my favourite thing about this location. You can even catch a glimpse of the ocean from the reformer studio window. The last retreat was my first time to Thailand, I loved it instantly.
