Your yoga is too small.

For many of us, yoga lives neatly on the mat, contained, controlled, and separate from the rest of our lives. We practice regularly and still something feels divided. Practice happens here, life happens there.

But yoga was never meant to be something you do for a few minutes a day.

Yoga becomes transformative when it is lived all day , not as something you strive for or achieve, but something you allow.

This retreat is an invitation to close that gap. To soften the boundary between practice and everything else you’re holding in your life, to find pockets of presence throughout your day, and to live your yoga off the mat, in your relationships with your people and in your relationship with yourself.

Join us in southern Italy for a week of practice and laughter, community and rest. The days will be a mix of Active Asana and Restorative Yoga, with several afternoons free to explore the stunning nearby beaches. The food is vegetarian, local, handmade, and doused in the center’s homegrown organic olive oil. The accommodations are simple. Travel is easy. The swimming pool is cool and refreshing. All yoga props are included.

This is a week to reconnect with yourself and share the pleasure of Sangha.

Limited to 50 students. We expect this retreat to fill.

If you feel the pull, trust it and join us.
