Colonia is a 45 minute ferry-ride from downtown Buenos Aires, across the Rio de la Plata (River Plate). The studio is located in the midst of the Uruguayan countryside, built in a recycled winery from the 1800´s. The setting is simple, rural, and natural. Silence, clean, pure air, and the sky of the Southern hemisphere bursting with millions of stars in the summer night provide a perfect framework for a yoga workshop. The farm overlooks the river, and is at walking distance from the riverside beaches, has a clay tennis court, and a swimming pool made from an old farm water tank. Weather in Uruguay and Argentina in February is very hot, as it is the last half of the summer.
