Yin & the 5 elements with Ma’ayan Jasovich & Greg Radicone - 2 Day Yin Yoga Intensive

About Antigua
Antigua is a small city surrounded by volcanoes in southern Guatemala.

It’s renowned for its colorful Spanish colonial buildings, this beautiful and magical city has almost five hundred years of history, with a privileged all-year-long climate.
