The New Zealand tribe have initiated the idea of a 7-10 day Texas retreat at Soma Ranch! We'll have daily Nia classes, fun at the ranch, field trips, boating and include a night out at a true Texan dance hall!
I plan to return next year, hope Joe will accompany me and enjoy a balance between me teaching classes and having a vacation!
