About this trip

This yearly yoga retreat to Sardinia, Italy began in 2015. Over the years, this beautiful Mediterranean island has become a home-away-from-home. I'm pleased to announce that this year's retreat will be co-facilitated by Kathy Sampson, who will be joining us for her third consecutive year.  

Our destination in Sardinia is Casa Namaste, a beautiful private residence within walking distance of amazing cliff side vistas of the Mediterranean sea. We will spend mornings on the cliffs watching the sun rise, and continue with yoga, meditation, and most importantly, BREAKFAST.

The food provided to us at Casa Namaste has always been among the highlights of our stay. Every day we will enjoy beautiful, freshly prepared self-serve breakfasts as well as delectable homemade dinners, served to us by our hosts. 

In Sardinia, we will explore nature through trekking, sailing, and paddle board tours with our native guides,  practicing yoga, meditation and mindfulness, and relaxing in the beautiful private gardens at Casa Namaste. We are also looking forward to some new adventures this year, which we are still dreaming up. The retreat dates were chosen to include a full moon rise viewing over the sea, as well as our daily morning sunrise walks. 

Please note that you WILL be hearing a rooster crow in the early morning, more than once. We've tried negotiating with him, but he stands firm on his intention to make his existence known.

Other pets at Casa Namaste include two very well-behaved dogs, a couple of elusive black cats, and numerous free-roaming turtles. Animal lovers will delight in the inter species companionship. Those who do not so much enjoy their company can rest assured that other than hearing the rooster crow, all interaction is optional, and the pets have been well trained not to enter your cabin.

All practices, excursions, and activities are optional. All ages, fitness, levels, body types, and abilities are welcome here, i.e. advanced yoga prowess is NOT a requirement for enjoying this retreat.

Non-refundable deposit: $450
Total Investment (including deposit): $2000
Please note that after the final due date for full payment (September 10th) ALL payments shall become non-refundable. In the event that you need to cancel your attendance after September 10th, 2023, you will not receive a refund. You will, however, be allowed to gift your sport to a recipient of your choosing if you are able to find someone to take your place. This policy is necessary as we prepay for many of the expenses and given the distance we are traveling, it is unlikely that we would be able to fill your spot due to airfare rates and availability close to the date of departure.

Your investment includes: transport to and from the Cagliari airport (CAG) on the designated pickup and drop off dates, shared accommodations with private bathrooms and climate control in each cabin, meals (aside from restaurant visits), all group activities such as sailing and paddle boarding, and yoga practice once or twice daily, depending on the day's events.

  • Nature Hikes
  • Twice-daily Yoga
  • Accomodations

Hi, I'm Tara, yoga teacher, licensed massage therapist, grief recovery method specialist, and retreat facilitator, based in Pensacola Florida. I help my clients to create meaningful and memorable experiences centered around yoga, mindfulness, meditation, and celebration. I love people, animals, and nature. My favorite thing to do is sit on the beach under a full moon and take in the beauty of the moon shining over the water. I hope to meet you someday on one of our retreat adventures. :)

Amazing experience! This was a perfect balance of yoga, relaxation and fun activities. Tara is amazing and has a real gift for teaching yoga for every body/age/experience level. The accommodations were beautiful and the food superb!

I had a marvelous experience. What an opportunity to unplug, settle down, enjoy some first class yoga, fellowship, serenity. The cuisine was plentiful, fresh, delicious vegan fare from a favorite local restaurant. The group was small enough to not feel like a “group”. The accommodations were a lovely beach house with shared (2 person) rooms with open dining and activity areas. And of course, the fresh air, sunsets, and beach. Tara is a gift that I have been most fortunate to cross paths with. A true brain reset.

Tara has a way of creating a safe space for deep connection. I made friends, laughed, skipped, had fun, ate great food, enjoyed the beauty of nature, and reconnected with myself. Definitely recommend retreats with Tara and I'll be back again!

This is an amazing setting for a yoga retreat. First, the hosts are very skilled at making you comfortable and modifying meals to guest’s requests. The dining is served outside, under the stars, at night. Beautifully prepared, fresh Sardinian fish, salads and vegetables are served with style and affection. The desserts were tasteful, light and delicious! Breakfast is filled with luscious fresh fruit and just baked pastries of varying discription. The local white and red wines were complex and delicious. Rooms are cleaned daily, comfortably and very well appointed for the international traveler. Air conditioning, although not needed much of the day, is available at your fingertips. The setting for sunrise yoga practice maybe one of the most dramatic in Southern Europe, with tide water breaking below you over the rocks. . Later in the day or after dinner, a quick dip at the lap pool is available. Casa Namasta staff are friendly, available and interested in making your stay most pleasant and throughly enjoyable. Yoga was relaxing and modified for each participant’s needs and agility. Tara provided multiple day trip activities throughout the week, a day sailing trip with a very competent, charming captain and host, an afternoon sail boarding and kayaking along the Mediterranean coast, trips hiking and to village towns. This was certainly an adventure of a lifetime! Diane
