Tuscany hills, Culture, Walking

Introduction

Join us in the beautiful Italian countryside for delicious food, peace and connection.

Going on a yoga retreat gives you the time and space to connect with yourself and nature, away from stress and pressure. Being away from your everyday life and having time to move & nurture your body and relax your mind restores you to yourself.

Escape for a while and enjoy massage treatments, swimming, local culture and even pasta-making & wine-tasting workshops!

The theme for this week is culture and movement, to slow down and enjoy the incredible world around you whilst nourishing your body. Centred on yoga and mindfulness, using breathwork and yoga to return to the present. This retreat is about connecting with the world and people around you.

This Retreat is slightly bigger than our usual retreats. But still an intimate group, with around 15-18 people, plus your host Vicky.

If you are worried about travelling alone, a lot of people on retreat often end up travelling together and Vicky is very happy to connect people coming from similar directions to lift share.

All skill and confidence levels welcomed! We welcome you whether you are a beginner, experienced or advanced yogi.

However if you unsure of anything, please email us.
