The daily programme

Join Belle for 5 days of relaxation and hatha yoga at the beautiful Masseria. A wonderful opportunity for you to relax your mind, rejuvenate your body and reawaken your spirit in beautiful Puglia Italy. You will enjoy two yoga classes daily which focus on movement, breath and relaxation. 

The day will begin with optional chanting and meditation. Then pranayama and a flowing asana class will follow in the stunning yoga space or outside in the wonderful natural environment of the Masseria. After the morning session breakfast will be served on the terrace.

You will meet again in the late afternoon for a more relaxing and meditative class. Belle will also be offering facial rejuvenation and Indian head massage treatments (at an additional cost).

In between there is plenty of time to enjoy the surroundings. Relax by the pool, explore the local area on our bicycles or on foot. Take a trip to the beach or local towns. Boat trips and ayurvedic massage can also be arranged for you.

Belle is a singer/songwriter, so there will also be the opportunity for some music and joyous song!
