Practice Yoga and learn about Ayurveda during this very special 8-day/7-night retreat set in Puglia, Southern Italy. Puglia, located in the heel of the Italian boot, is a very special area, known for olive oil and wine.
The Yoga & Ayurveda
The Yoga and Ayurveda sessions will be led by Rachel Hull, a very experienced teacher who has led retreats and teacher trainings around the world. She is known for her precision and sensitive alignment of the physical body, as well as her ability to encourage the class to flow in a smooth and organic way. Numerous classes are dedicated to Yoga practices such as asana & pranayama techniques that are more specific for the Ayurvedic Doshas (vata, pitta and kapha). There is also a session to help discover your Ayurvedic constitution.
The retreat is open to all levels of Yoga practitioners, from quite new to experienced. It is recommended that you have practiced Yoga for at least 6 months before attending.
The Retreat Centre
The retreat is being held at a 4-Star centre, Santa Maria del Sole, a 15-hectare property situated in the heart of the Itria Valley, in the Martina Franca countryside. It is encircled by a forested nature park and is committed to preserving the natural environment. The main building is a restored 16th Century farmhouse. There is a little yoga village is situated by the main buildings, a 100 square metre indoor hall, a pool, brilliant views and complete silence. An ideal place for spiritual practice, you will find special corners for meditation among oak trees, lots of space and open air.
You will have a choice between a trullo – a typical, traditional Puglian dwelling – or the elegant white farmhouse for your accommodation.
