Italy Retreat

Due to family commitments this retreat will not be running in 2012 but to be informed of future Italy retreats in 2013 please email Lucy to be included on the mailing list.

Below is the information regarding our previous trip in 2010:

This 7-day all-inclusive program was hosted at a romantic 14th century Tuscan Farmhouse now converted into a stunning yoga retreat. Nestled amongst breathtaking beauty just one hour from Florence and 15 minutes to Siena.

The property and surrounding areas are immersed in history with medieval towns, natural landscapes and Roman hot springs to explore! As the days unfolded we experienced the living arts of yoga, meditation, cooking and drawing - all ingredients for a lifestyle of vitality, balance and creativity!

Returning to a natural rhythm with morning and evening yoga each day. Experienced teachers, Renae and Lucy, focused on the integration of dynamic and restorative practices, with an emphasis on the individual.

Discovering a new way of seeing through drawing from life, sessions were designed to break away from habitual ‘looking’ and inspire creative process. Our drawing materials travelled with us on excursion as we took in the natural beauty of Tuscany and explored medieval towns. Nourished by meals of fresh seasonal produce, we experienced the art of passionate cooking and shared in the preparation of simple healthy foods. On our last day together, we enjoyed reflecting on your adventures as we soaked in hot springs and relaxed on the soft sand beaches of Italy.
