Magical Italy Yoga & Meditation Retreat
Join Miriam on this Magical Yoga Retreat in Italy - The country of great art, food and sunshine.
Just 2 spots left - share accommodation standard room.
Puglia, a southern region forming the heel of Italy’s boot, is known for its whitewashed hill towns, centuries-old farmland with endless silver lined olive groves and hundreds of kilometers of Mediterranean coastline, boasting rocky sun soaked beaches. Still relatively untouched by tourism, Puglia will seduce you with her Trulli - stone huts with distinctive conical roofs, ancient towns and food to equal of anywhere in Italy.
With expertly guided yoga and meditation classes, healthy scrumptious cuisine and enough time to truly let go and relax. Return home with renewed energy and new inspiration to truly embrace what you love and live life fully.
Located on a 14-acre estate in the heart of the Italian countryside, this ancient 16th century masseria or farmhouse, is now entirely dedicated to the practice of yoga and meditation and to the well-being of those who visit it.
Among the beautiful gardens are a Yoga Shala, a pool, an outdoor patio, a 17th century church and a private forest. You will be comfortably accommodated in beautiful rooms and will enjoy healthy vegetarian dishes, made with fresh ingredients and produced locally, while honoring the reputation of Italian cuisine.
A week gives us time to explore and deepen our yoga practice – whatever your experience. Time to rest and relax and time to explore this extraordinary area of Italy.
Retreat: Spend 7 days and 6 nights in the quiet Puglia area of Italy. Each day includes 2 yoga practices (except Wednesday - only a morning practice), ample time for rest, relaxation, or exploration. Included in the trip are two half day excursions.
