Calm, Beautiful and Fascinating look at Lanzarote through volcanoes and yoga - Ivana took my sister and me for a short walk to the Volcano crater where we learnt about volcanoes in Lanzarote. We then found a lovely spot with flowers for our hatha/yin yoga. Ivana was knowledgeable and a great teacher. We felt really calm and beautiful afterwards. Thank you!
