RELAX, RESTORE, RECHARGE & ENJOY
Yoga Retreat by the Mediterranean Sea

Yoga, meditation, stunning nature, local culture and delicious food. A retreat, and holiday, located in a wonderful private property in the south of Italy with private access to the beach!

What to aspect?

Daily yoga and meditation practice, hikes, a local culture visit, delicious vegetarian local food and plenty of free time to relax and enjoy good company.

Our intention is to provide you with a safe space for you to retreat from the frenetics of the city, work and family life. We’ll frame your days with joy and kindness, supporting you in being more mindful and connected, with yourself, with nature and with the group.

The practice will be gentle, energizing as well as relaxing and suitable for all levels. My approach is contemporary, innovative, creative non-dogmatic and non-mainstream.

Sessions will be held outdoors, at the beach and in the garden of the property.

 The Program

The theme of the retreat is the 5 elements of yoga. Every day will be dedicated to the practice of one element with journaling, open discussion, movement practice and meditation. We will start every day in silence with a movement meditation at the beach, an open discussion, journaling and a short practice dedicated to the element of the day. Around 9:30/10:00 we have a fabulous buffet and some free time.

Normally, we meet again around 5:00 pm for the evening practice. However, every day will be different as there are also two excursions planned.

Each package includes 7 nights (shared room, apartment or tent) 5 days of practice (twice a day) one hike on the coast with a delicious buffet and a cultural visit to Otranto. A vegetarian and balanced menu (two meals per day) prepared with local products only (snacks and drinks are included). One full extra FREE day for you to enjoy time as you wish and get ready to return. This day’s meals are up to you! There are plenty of delicious restaurants to try or we can cook togehter (optional). Included is also a private transfer from the city of Lecce to the property. A yoga mat and towels are also included.

Otranto

Otranto is located in the heart of the Mediterranean, the “Gateway to the East” which has always marked that subtle border between East and West in the beautiful area of Salento. The city is among the most important and beautiful national tourist destinations. Unesco heritage since 2010, it fascinates visitors not only for its sea and the diversity of the coasts but also for its history, for its artistic and cultural beauties.

Overnight stay

Shared and single accommodations in the Villa or independent and modern apartments in the city centre. We also offer two spots in a tent for a low-budget option.

The Villa

Immersed in the Mediterranean scrub and 1 km away from the suggestive historical city centre and surrounded by 1000 sqm land and with private access to the beach and a rocky bay known as the “Canalone”.

The Villa is spread over two floors, upstairs there are three bedrooms, two of which have a terrace, and a bathroom. On the ground floor, two large living rooms, equipped kitchen and a bathroom.
