A Sadhana Immersion

Piedmont, Italy

What does it truly mean to live yoga?

For us, yoga is both a practice and a way of life. It shapes our choices, our awareness, and the way we relate to ourselves and the world around us.

Through our own experience, we have found that a personal practice can become a steady foundation in life. Something we can return to through times of change and uncertainty, helping us stay grounded and connected to what matters.

The practice continues long after we step off the mat. It lives in how we listen, how we respond, and how we care for ourselves and others. As we deepen our practice, we learn to inhabit our bodies more fully, recognise our patterns, and become more present in the way we move through life.

This immersion is an invitation to deepen your awareness and explore how yoga can become a living part of your everyday life.

What is Sadhana?

Sadhana is the commitment to a personal, daily practice. It asks us to show up with consistency, curiosity, and care, cultivating discipline while keeping the heart soft and open.

During this week, we will explore Sadhana through extended daily practices, yogic philosophy, and shared reflection. We will deepen our understanding of the teachings and explore how they can support us in navigating life's challenges, relating to others, and staying connected to ourselves.

You will have space to reflect on what Sadhana means for you personally and how to develop a practice that is nourishing, meaningful, and sustainable. A practice that can grow with you and continue to support you long after the retreat.

Together, we will explore how to:

• Deepen our practice through asana, pranayama, and meditation

• Cultivate presence, body awareness, and a deeper capacity to listen

• Recognise our patterns and bring greater awareness into our relationships

• Weave yogic philosophy into everyday life

• Establish a personal Sadhana

This immersion is for those who feel a genuine curiosity to explore yoga more deeply and are willing to dedicate time and attention to their practice.

Wherever you find yourself in life right now, this week offers an opportunity to reconnect, deepen your practice, and remember what is important to you.

We would love to share this week of practice, learning, and exploration with you.

The Place

We will spend the week at Villa Pravernara, a beautiful 16th-century villa nestled in the rolling hills of Piedmont, Northern Italy. Lovingly restored by Sheila and her family, the villa has become a place dedicated to yoga, community, and conscious living.

The villa is situated on a hillside just outside the small town of Valenza, overlooking the surrounding valley and countryside. With its spacious rooms, beautiful practice spaces, and peaceful surroundings, it offers a wonderful setting for our week together.

Here, we will share our daily practice, enjoy meals together, spend time outdoors, and find space to rest and reconnect.

Located between Turin, Milan, and Genoa, Villa Pravernara is also easily accessible from all three cities, each approximately an hour away by car.
