Tea club Iron Phoenix organised a tea party right in the middle of an apple orchard. The cosy atmosphere of this impromptu teahouse was like a magnet for the guests, who wouldn't miss a chance to chat while sampling the finest tea blends.
Yoga Journal would like to thank gallery "Maharaja Interior" and Yuri Aistov. He helped with the design and invited Dr. David Frawley, one of the most worldwide famous ayurveda experts. Thanks to Yuri, the guests had an opportunity to find out more about ayurveda and get qualified advice.

Guests also received presents from Decleor: aroma toning balm for more elastic skin and aromatherapy body care. Both products are made of natural components and essential oils.
