Join Bodhi Jeffreys and Majbritt Cristel Kiss as they weave their work together for a journey of self-discovery, healing, peace and joy on Margaret Island in the middle of the Danube River in Budapest. The acclaimed 4-Star Danubius Health Spa Resort Margitsziget is the ideal natural setting for this restorative retreat.

Majbritt will lead sessions of Hatha Yoga, Vinyasa Yoga and Yin Yoga throughout the retreat, allowing your mind to rest and your heart to open. One of her great gifts is how she easily provides beginners with a great yoga experience while assisting those experienced in yoga to new levels.

Bodhi's warm and soothing voice will bring you into deep states of awareness, peace and joy that will be with you long after you leave the retreat. He will support you in being more gentle with yourself and to effortlessly live more in harmony with those around you.

The healing waters of the thermal baths are renowned for supporting the healing of a wide variety of health challenges, including digestive, liver, kidney and gallbladder issues. And if you're generally healthy, the waters can help bring you to new levels of wellbeing.

You will return home feeling replenished, fully alive, in balance, with a newfound sense of freedom.

"Majbritt is that kind of person who is born with a special gift full of compassion. She has developed and refined this gift, which she passes on/transmits where ever she goes. Her yogaclass is gentle, but filled with the depth and insight she has gained through her own experience. I highly recommend her and look forward to more yoga with her. "  ~  Lene Bjergland, Psychotherapist & MA

"My first yoga retreat ever was with Majbritt Kiss on Margaret Island in Budapest and it was truly magical. Majbritt is a very attentive, competent, inspiring, and deep yoga teacher who makes each yogi feel special and recognized. There was a special bond created between us all, included Majbritt, whom I will never forget. Thank you for five fantastic days."  ~  Iben Andersen

Recent testimonials

  • I’m thankful for your clarity and presence and for how much peace it has brought into my life.

    Violet Lehrer Owner, Clarity Path Coaching Carlsbad, California

    Bodhi, I woke up flooded with gratitude for you today — your essence, your teaching, your energy, your sweet soft voice, your non-judgment. Your ability to have integrated that and not just teach it is inspiring to me. I’m thankful for your clarity and presence and for how much peace it has brought into my life. I’m thankful that the kids have learned the meaning of resistance and trigger.

    I’m thankful for the hundred times I’ve heard your voice saying “the truth and essence of who we are is love” and that I can hear that voice in my head louder than the childhood “you’re not good enough”. I’ve thankful for the healing you’ve guided me on. I’m thankful that you have shown me (and Matt) the path to our hearts. I’m thankful for all the moments of freedom and joy that are in my life because I am not in resistance. You have made a profound difference in my life.

  • I am learning to live with an open, positive heart thanks to Bodhi's wisdom and guidance.

    Julie Sidur Insurance Professional Oceanside, California

    Working with Bodhi on an individual basis is teaching me how to see the truth about my self-defeating ways and empowering me to deal with the toxic energy in me from as far back as my childhood. He is helping me break free from my negative, conditioned responses that I have had most my life. I am learning to be able to express myself more clearly from my authentic higher self. All I have ever wanted to do is to be able to connect with people.

    Bodhi shows me how to do this through helping me to process what is really going on inside, seeing what is truly needed and proceeding from a grounded, secure place in my communication with people in my life. I am learning to live with an open, positive heart thanks to Bodhi's wisdom and guidance. For this I will be forever grateful to Bodhi.

  • Bodhi has been a guiding light for me, opening doors to my own hidden resources.

    Paul Williams Author of "Das Energi", Founder of Crawdaddy Magazine Encinitas, California

    Bodhi has been a guiding light for me, opening doors to my own hidden resources. I have found working with him to be a tremendously healing and awakening experience. I would unhesitatingly recommend Bodhi and his work to any friend in need. The truth is within us, but it is a joy and a great relief for me to have found a teacher who has been able to so quickly put me in touch with that inner truth and its liberating powers.

  • It feels safe to let go of the identification with mind in his presence.

    Silja Bjorklund Quantum Energetics Practitioner, QE With Silja Encinitas, California

    Working with Bodhi has brought me into a profoundly deep awareness of my true nature. It feels safe to let go of the identification with mind in his presence. His coaching to live this in my daily life is gentle, clear, and very effective.

  • The synergy of his organizational expertise with his insight, clarity and awareness has brought the university to a new level.

    Irv Katz, Ph.D., Chancellor International University of Professional Studies Maui, Hawaii

    Bodhi's extraordinary talent of bringing clarity to our vision, goals, and processes has been of great benefit to the university. We’re more focused, more productive, and are in a much better position to serve our student population. The synergy of his organizational expertise with his insight, clarity and awareness has brought the university to a new level.
