Details
Day 1
Enjoy a yoga session and a welcome dinner on your first day in Tuscany
Welcome to Italy! We'll be spending the next five days in the Tuscan countryside, a region known for its pastoral views and serene atmosphere. It's the perfect location for a yoga retreat! Once you're off the plane, we'll pick you up and transfer you to the accommodation with a bit of time to sit, unpack, and relax. Then, in the evening, we'll come together for our first yoga session of the trip, allowing us to shift our minds towards a focus on wellness. A delicious dinner prepared by the lodge will wrap up the day.
Day 2
Cook up some Tuscan classics in between yoga sessions
Good morning! Rise to the sun shining down on the hills of Tuscany and get ready for an enriching day. We'll begin with a morning yoga session out on the yoga deck where you can look out over the landscape as you awaken your senses and energize your body. After breakfast and some free time in the late morning, we'll have a cooking class that will show you how to cook some culinary favorites from this region. The food of Tuscany is truly unmatched, and you'll get to enjoy your creations once you're done cooking them!
Day 3
Enjoy some free time in the dreamy Italian countryside
Rise and shine to another picturesque day at our rural getaway. Today once again starts and ends with yoga sessions that will strengthen your mind-body connection and put you in the perfect mindstate to deeply appreciate the nature that surrounds you. Aside from yoga and meals, the rest of the day is yours to do as you please. Be spontaneous and have some fun exploring, playing, and relaxing!
Day 4
Taste some local wine on your last full day of the retreat
It's day 4 of the trip, and that means our time in Italy is nearly over. But don't worry: we have another amazing day ahead of us today, so get up and get ready! As always, we'll start things off with yoga and breakfast before a relaxed afternoon beneath the Tuscan sun. After lunch, we'll have a wine tasting where you can sample the local flavors and toast with your travel companions to the journey that you have all experienced here. It's the perfect celebration of the progress that you've made! (And the wine is pretty delicious in and of itself, too.) As evening sets on the countryside, some more yoga and dinner will conclude our last night.
Day 5
Attend a final yoga session before heading to the airport to fly home
With one last morning yoga session, our trip comes to a close. You'll head to the airport with your mind clear and balanced and catch a flight back home. Safe travels, and thanks so much for joining us!
