Leader Testimonials

Siri Gopal, (Kundalini Yoga Retreat Leader, Nov. 2010)

It was a pure blessing to have found the Tailwind jungle lodge to host my annual Kundalini Yoga Retreat for 2010. I wanted to express my heartfelt thank you to the amazing Jacobi family for taking such great care of myself and my guests. Upon arriving, I had many visions attached to what I thought the Lodge would be like, based on photos from the website. I never could have imagined such an endearing, magical place. It was like being in paradise! The functionality of your space and your dedication to preserving and maintaining the natural environment was astounding. My guests and myself were in awe at the beauty of the experience.
