Tuscany, Italy
TBA 2012
This week long retreat will be hosted at Villa Benvenuti, a beautiful 17th century villa, just outside of Lucca, nestled amongst forested hills & natural woodlands in the Tuscan countryside. Located 30 minutes from Pisa and about one hour from Florence, the villa sits high on a hillside overlooking a panorama of olive groves, fruit trees and vineyards. With 28 acres of unspoiled nature to explore, the natural surroundings and secluded setting create an atmosphere of calm and stillness, making it ideal for yoga and rejuvenating practices.
Each day will offer different combinations of meditation, pranayama and yoga together with delicious organic vegetarian meals, prepared using fresh ingredients grown on the estate or from local producers.
We will begin each morning with a Vinyasa Yoga class and just before dinner we will reconvene for a gentle flow class. Each class will have a different focus and progress throughout the week.
The free afternoons offer ample time for contemplation and rest or for nature walks in the picturesque surroundings of Villa Benvenuti.
Join Angela on a retreat in the beautiful wine region of Northern California at the Mayacamas Ranch.
