Testimony
At Majestic Valley Wildnerness Lodge, the force of nature augments the yoga training with its power and purity. The lodge is located to host a stunning view of mountains, glaciers, grass fields, pine forests, and wildflowers. Tall glass windows through which to see the environment, polished hardwood floors, a perfect balance of modern amenities and rustic charm, with enough space to have privacy when it is needed. The staff is friendly, professional, and efficient, I felt as though I made new friends in my time there. - Kevin
