About this trip

Cost: $2200-$3500. 


Our Retreats are for all levels AND beginners!! 


Between daily morning Hatha yoga and evening relaxing practice, we will bask in the natural haven that is Locanda del Gallo, a boutique hotel set in the middle of rolling Umbrian hills surrounded by gardens and quintessential Italian countryside beauty.  The yoga studio is full of light and looks over the verdant landscape. We will relax, stretch, center, ground, breathe and renew.


We will eat wonderful, organic, personal chef created local cuisine, swim in the salt water pool, stroll a country path, visit a winery, shop the famous Gubbio markets and learn to cook a sumptuous Italian meal.  


There will be plenty of time to read, wander, explore, have a massage, or just "be."


This week long immersive combination of yoga, relaxation practice, and education combined with the tranquil surrounding and chosen experiences, will restore balance to your body and mind.  We want to prepare you for an at home practice that continues your journey toward greater health and well-being.  


Request a one time optional daytime private or group discussion of relaxation techniques, breathwork, HeartMath and how to bring the benefits of this trip back home with you.  


There is no A/C at Locanda.  It is very airy and guests stay comfortably throughout the summer months. 


Deposit is non-refundable

Registration closes Feb 1, 2020 or when trip is full

100% refund available if we can book your space by May 1 minus $120 processing fee
