Hannah Wright, Australia

There are no words to describe what Linda, Anouk and Emil gave to us. It was the most beautiful, powerful and life-changing experience I have ever had. The training planted a little seed deep inside our hearts and souls and this seed is growing everyday. I am so thankful for all the wisdom they shared with us. It is invaluable! There is no better place to connect deeper with the earth, the sky and all beings on this planet than breathtaking Bali. Just follow your intuition and enjoy it…

Vreni Meinl Austria, July 2018

First of all I wanted to thank you again for all the knowledge you transfered to us, I really appreciated it! I’m not teaching right now because I’m in Australia, but I very much enjoy “just” being a student and learn from many different teacher here. Nvertheless, things are popping up in my mind during the lessons and you were so right when you said that we will remember it when we need it. It’s just beautiful!

This retreat was such an incredible experience. I came in with no expectations and open to what lay ahead. Linda and the staff gave me memories that I will never forgot. The location is absolutely stunning, the food mouthwatering and the staff meticulous with every detail! Linda is so passionate about what she does that I could not help but be inspired by her. She took me through an incredible journey of self healing for which I am so grateful. I will most definitely be back in the future and recommend this retreat to anyone who needs relaxation and self reflection. Thank you!! Namaste!.

Dear Linda, I just wanted to thank you again for everything you did for us! I know you are always busy, but for me it is really important that you know this: It was such a life-inspiring, unique and paradisiacal experience! I even knew this while the YTT, but now there are so many moments and things which show me, that the program you have created and your “style” is just magical! I am full of deep gratitude for everything! There are no words for this gift you gave us! It was such a life-inspiring, unique and paradisiacal experience! I try my best to share the wisdom we have received. Thank you Linda!

Shirin Tessmer Germany

This retreat for exceeded my expectations, Serious, thoughtful, caring, competent, experienced guide and perfect location. Gourmet food with care for the individuals concerns and needs. Tranquil surroundings. First class all the way!

Shirley Ann,Canada

I recently participated (18th-24th December, 2011) in a 7 day retreat ‘Healing& Spiritual Development with Yoga Pranala’ with Linda Madani, at the wonderful Ananda Cottages, Ubud. I am really happy to share that this retreat far exceeded my expectations! I have not been a regular yoga practitioner (all that will now change!) and was a little concerned I might struggle with the intensity of the morning & evening excerise, but Linda successfully managed to support us all through individual attention and a wonderfully balanced programme. A particular highlight was the visit to a traditional healer, Cokorda Rai, Linda’s mentor & teacher. This visit was a real revelation for me, and participation in personal & group ceremonies were highly profound, life altering experiences. Thank you Linda, and thank you to all the staff at Kumara who were absolutely brillant!.

S Jerkins Australia

I was brought to Bali to go on a journey I did not even know I needed. I cam to learn about teaching yoga, what I got along the way was inner healing and light from which my yoga teaching will flow. I have grounded a new corner of my path and I can see and feel clearly that I’m moving in the right direction. I have found my inner life mantra. Thank you
