Join Jenny Kaufman and Patti Lupo in celebrating over a decade of leading transformative retreats in Italy. Whether you are a seasoned yogi or stepping onto the mat for the very first time, this experience is for you. All ages, all levels, and all people are welcome. We believe in creating a space where everyone can feel at ease, inspired, and deeply cared for.

For five soul-nourishing days, we will be hosted by our dear friends at Locanda della Quercia Calante, a serene eco-resort nestled in the heart of Umbria located halfway between Rome and Florence. Known as the “Green Heart of Italy,” Umbria is a region rich with rolling hills, olive groves, vineyards, and ancient towns that invite you to slow down and savor life.

Expect daily yoga and movement practices that meet you exactly where you are, delicious local meals, and time to explore nearby villages or simply rest by the pool. The retreat center, often described as “heaven on earth,” embraces a lifestyle rooted in balance, simplicity, and connection to nature, to each other, and to yourself.

Come solo, bring a friend, or travel as a couple. This retreat is an invitation to reconnect with what matters most, in one of the most beautiful places on earth.

To reserve your spot on the retreat, a non-refundable deposit of $750 is required at the time of registration. We are happy to arrange a payment plan for the remaining balance. However, full payment is due no later than Monday, June 1, 2026.

You will book your own flight and land in Rome (FCO) and plan on arriving between 8:00am and 11:00am on Saturday September 19th, which means you are leaving the States on Friday September 18th. Once we have everyone's flight details, we arrange our own large bus transportation that will take us on a @2 hr ride to the farm in Umbria. There is time to eat a snack and sleep on the bus. Once we arrive at the farm you will show them your passport and we will sit down for our first delicious lunch. Then you have time to settle in your rooms before our first yoga practice which will be aimed at soothing our traveled bodies and calming our nervous systems. Then dinner and off to bed.

We will wake up and offer an short 30 min early meditation/movement session, which everything is optional. Then on to breakfast. After breakfast we have a longer 90 min yoga session on the yoga deck. The afternoon is filled with space for a walk, a nap, swimming, or simply being. We will reconvene in the afternoon for a mellow 60 in yoga/meditation session. Then our hosts, along with Patti + Jenny, invite you to our Umbrian Wine Tasting. Even those that do not consume alcohol will have something special as well, and everyone will love hearing about the history of the land here in Umbria, and enjoy the appetizers made with everything local to the property. Dinner, then off to bed.

Awake to a 30 min movement/meditation session and then to breakfast. Our longer 90 min yoga session and then some space before a light lunch.  Late afternoon we will be on our way to Orveito, a gorgeous hill town about 40 min away. You will have the remainder of the day to explore this adorable town, shop, eat gelato, and visit the extraordinary sights. Scope out the perfect spot for dinner and we will meet you at the Duomo and get us all home safely.

Remaining on the property today we will have 3 sessions of movement,. There will be space in the afternoon for massages, and for our pasta cooking lesson if you are interested. For dinner we will enjoy the fruits of our labor.

One of the single most extraordinary towns in Italy, we will travel about 30 minutes to Civita late morning. That way we will be there by lunchtime and you can walk around and check out this little town and find the perfect spot to eat lunch. After a long lunch we will make our way back to the farm and enjoy our last yoga session and closing.

We firmly believe that if you have flown all this way, let's give you the time to explore Italy. We will leave the farm VERY early on Thursday morning and have you back to the Rome airport in time to catch a flight stateside, or to hail a cab and head into Rome.
