Nino Margvelashvili Bates, a journalist by profession, is widely travelled and leads the yoga class at the local YMCA in Calhoun, Georgia USA. She was at The Satvik for an intensive yoga retreat from 13th to 20th June 2008′
“India is a fascinating country, but a first time visitor can be discouraged and frustrated by the prevailing chaos on the roads and markets. But the view of the magnificient Taj Mahal and experience of Satvik living at The Satvik Sadan, Bhimtal, Himalayas will let those first impressions fade away.
If Taj is a must see, so is the experience at Satvik Sadan for every visitor to India..
The Retreat is clean and has an unusual construction, thanks to one of the many talents of its founder , Shukl’acharya (Shri Pulak Ranjan Shukla.)
The staff is amazingly friendly and makes you feel right at home.
For my future trips to India, Taj and The Satvik Sadan would be the only two spots on my travelling list and worth showing to my son.”
