We are SO excited for you to join us for a week of embodied movement, healing, connection, and nourishment on the idyllic coast of Puglia, Italy this summer. 

Soak up the summer sun in the south of Italy at this beautiful, historical farmhouse resort Maseria Specula - carved into a gentle hill, just steps away from the Ionian Sea. 

Enjoy 6 nights of accommodation at eco-resort Masseria Specula, 2 curated Yoga and Pilates classes daily, and 2 delicious authentic Italian meals prepared by a local Italian chef, picturesque views , sunsets in a small and intimate group experience. 

Renting a car for this trip is highly recommended as you will want to explore the nearby towns and beaches in the area and public transportation is very limited.
