State of Salt was brought to life in January 2019 on a quest to create a yoga brand that offered bespoke and luxury yoga retreats for the modern world.
This was the most amazing trip! The accommodation was fantastic, all of the facilities from the pool, spa, rooms, dining area and gardens were just stunning. The yoga studio was so peaceful, harmonious and remote. Loved being able to practise in this special place. The family looked after us so well and was so accomodating. Food was fantastic and a healthy twist on italian. Loved the italian cooking class and all the day tours. Could have easily spent another week here.
thank you State of Salt for providing such a welcoming, friendly and stunning environment for your latest Yoga Retreat in Umbria, Italy.
The food and venue were amazing, including the pool and steam room facilities,
Cant wait for the next one,

Amazing!!! I loved exert second of this trip! I’d never done yoga before and Claudia was the perfect all rounder teacher. The location was perfect in the calming Byron hinterland and the accommodations was so perfect for a retreat. Burbury whole foods was amazing at educating us and filling our bellies with healthy yummy meals. Excited for my next retreat ❤️

Marie is the absolute most incredible person I’ve ever met and she honestly opened up my mind to so many things. 💙🙏🏻 Because of her, this trip for me was life-changing and I truly appreciated her leading us. Also, Cal Reiet is gorgeous and the staff and experience was unforgettable.
From the moment I arrived from the airport to the support & family feeling this accommodation had was incredible. The nourishing food complimented the yoga, sound healing & journal sessions facilitated from the amazing Marie!! The day trips were also so special as we were able to enjoy a slice of heaven with the pristine waters & views of the beach. I loved this retreat so much and I also really enjoyed how there were people from UK, US, Europe, Germany and Australia. I highly recommend this trip to anyone who is wanting to upgrade their life, energize their soul & reconnect with nature and disconnect from technology and the stresses of everyday life. Thank you !!
