Dear Margherita, I am so happy to have come to another retreat, it has done the world of good for  me! I liked the diversity between the days and how you draw on each day to build blocks for the next. You are incredibly patient and loving and it has been instrumental in creating a healing environment. Thank you so much! Love Jacqueliue (from London)

Lovely Marghe, can't express fully how lovely this week at the Locanda was for me. To think that just a year ago I turned up at In Sabina without knowing any of you is crazy. I feel so cosmically aligned with this group and this week and the space and the community that you create; I feel truly blessed to have been here and I know this is just the beginning of a new chapter in my yoga and my dharma ... inshallah .. you are a wonderful and luminous teacher and friend. Mille grazie. Candida (London)

"Dear Margherita, everything has been a total joy. Thank you so much for your amazing work and enriching support. Love Puglia too!! Namaste Charlie x"

"Margherita, grazie cara mia ... you have given us a week of love, practice, space, nurturing and laughter and have learned so much from you and our incredible group of yogis and all Salvatore, Giulia, Marco and the beautiful ladies at SM del Sole ... till next time"

"To dearest Margherita, it is as if the universe has presented us a great big gift box with a beautiful bow on top.  As we opened it, out of the box came not just one but many delights!

we have received every single day of the week so much joy wrapped in different colours, shapes and sounds. It has truly been a box full of miracles that you, Margherita, presented not only to me, but I could say to each everyone of us. Thanks to you we can all return wherever we came from, so much richer in every field of our spiritual walk.

From In Sabina 26 July- 2 August 2008

Great food and accommodation and lots of lovely spots and hammocks for reading where if your eyes tire of your book you can gaze at the silver olive leaves, the figs or just the sky.  Our group has been wonderful -- 21 strangers who now feel like close friends! -- but  I think the credit for this must go to Margherita, whose inspiring personal energy brought us all together.

Wonderful yoga, both for mind and body, and the end of the week i just want more!  A very happy and inspiring experience, and a great holiday. Love Sarah B. xx

To magical Margherita ... this has been an exceptional week full of warmth, grace, love, kindness, friendships learning and PEACE.

Your teaching is always clear, inspiring and caring.  The chanting and meditation have been a real treat adding to the serenity of the setting.

This wonderful group have been brought together by you a most generous host, teacher, friend and guide.

If it is true that the student finds the teacher when ready to learn, I must be ready!

Thank you! Namaste Debbie G. x

In Sabina ... this beautiful retreat is friendly and welcoming.  Everyone seems to smile, including the birds, crickets and butterflies ... the accomodation is comfortable, stylish, clean and cared for.  "Caring" is in the air at IN SABINA, the delicious fresh food  and relaxed atmosphere contribute to this being a stunning retreat.  I hope to come back again ... thank you! Debbie G. x

Dearest Margherita, you are a wondrous ray of light and I am so happy and lucky  to have met you! this week away from "normal" life has taught me so much about myself & I can't wait to continue learning from you when we return home! I love your spirit -- playful, nurturing, kind, loving & warm. ... thank you for your love and guidance, your understanding and patience. I look forward to many more magical moments with the magnificent Margherita! Lots of love your crazy chino friend Monica xxxx

In Sabina is a perfect yoga holiday wonderland.  The scenery is breathtaking, the food is so healthy and tasty.  And the staff are warm and friendly. I hope to visit this heavenly place again! Thank you IN SABINA! Monica xxx

"I want to thank you again for being so lovely and natural and for making our weekend so enjoyable.  You are a very competent, thoughtful and patient instructor. It was a joy to be in your class.  It makes such a difference to have a sensitive teacher who doesn't get irritated if you make a wrong move or are a bit slow - I have had experience of that and it can be a little humiliating."
Patricia

"I had a great Easter retreat with you and learned a lot of very valuable stuff. It was great to break down asanas that I tend to rush through during my ashtanga practice. Thanks!" Tabitha
