"We travel not to escape life, but for life not to escape us" Anon   I love this quote and feel that it sums up what SoulFit adventures holidays are all about, a chance to live life to the fullest, and to travel for the shear joy of life not just to get away from it.    I have spent the last few of months since returning from the 3rd successful SoulFit adventures yoga and cycling holiday in Italy planning the SoulFit adventures calendar for 2015, and what a year it's shaping up to be!  If you happen to live in the Southern Hemisphere then spring is just around the corner and it's the perfect time for a spring clean and to start planning your next adventure.  If you live in the Northern Hemisphere and are at then end of summer, then it's also the perfect time to reassess your priorities.   Along with all the SoulFit adventure favourites in Italy, Bali and Laos,  I am so excited to be offering a new SoulFit adventure in 2015.  If you haven't heard already, SoulFit adventures is going to France, Provence to be exact!!  I spent a fabulous 6 days in Provence after the conclusion of the Italian retreat in June on a scouting tour and I can't wait for you to read all about it!  Think lavender, rosemary, vineyards, Provencal villages and of course it wouldn't be a SoulFit adventure without yoga and cycling...:-).   So without further delay see following for the low down on what's happening in 2015!

Thank you so much also for your fantastic yoga classes!!! Lastly, I must say to you that I thought you did a fantastic job, I loved every day, and I loved meeting all those amazing human beings (you included). I was quite aware that I was the oldest person in the group and that I am in a completely different chapter in my life than everyone else but thank God, it really didn’t matter. Another highlight was the massage by Isa ……… I doubt I’ll ever have another as good.  Jenny Kenny, Canada, June 2014
