Simon is one of the very few Senior Iyengar Yoga Teachers north of Sydney. Murwillumbah and its surrounds are one of my favourite places in Australia. The prices that Simon offers at SKYS makes it THE only affordable yoga retreat in Australia. A yoga retreat for the rest of us! And any class with any Senior Iyengar Yoga Teacher is always a treat…. as it is with Simon Marrocco. Give me more.
