Ann's approach to yoga and its teaching have left an imprint on every aspect of me that I want to develop in my own practice and future teaching. Bali is indeed an island of beauty where the seed of Yoga can manifest in you, but it takes somebody like Ann to create a joyful and repectful cultural environment where it can florish."

"My expectations were high, I wanted to do yoga until I dropped in a place that was aesthetically beautiful and strange..." I wanted to feel safe and taken care of in Paradise...the actual trip was more satisfying than my wildest expectations. If you want yoga boot camp in Paradise - if you want to surrender to an alternative reality and learn years worth of yoga from a dazzlingly good teacher - a gifted teacher - you need this experience. I've been everywhere and done everything - but this trip was a life experience. Bali is so entertaining (fabulous food, shopping, dancing) and charming - it's worth the long plane ride. I felt so terrific physically and was so engaged by the environment...this yoga in Paradise was a 'stone cold adventure'."
Kate Goldstein, N.Y., Feb. 2002.
"I picked this tour because of the consistency in the excellence of Iyengar yoga instruction which customizes itself for individual needs. Of course, the selection of hospitality suites that capture the floral and wildlife (birds, frogs, and butterflies), sounds and sites, makes the entire tour a thoroughly satisfying escape from 'civilization'."
Rosamond Shee, Oakpark, Il. Feb. 2002
"Thank you for everything! Your ability as a teacher is amazing. My back thanks you, too! This has been the best trip of my life (so far).

Again, thank you to you, and everyone at Alam Indah for making my visit feel like home."
Heidy Morales, New Orleans, Feb. 2002
