Feedback from friends who have joined us on retreat in the past:

"Thank you so much for all your work in putting together THE perfect vacation! Sign me up for the next one!"

Om away from Home!

"I'll always remember the morning practices, looking over the never-ending rice fields with the rain thundering down and how it stopped perfectly in time for us to come out of savasana and enjoy the sun..."

Om to the sound of a Latin beat.

"I don't know where to start - the resort, the food, the people, the YOGA! This was one of the best trips I've ever done!"

Om while you sip a Pina Colada by the Sea.

"I've been to other yoga retreats with different groups and this was by far the best one. You obviously thought of all the details and I still can't believe you found this place. The pictures definitely did not do it justice..."

Yoga Retreat in Tuscany, Italy
with Angela Gavin
June 28th - July 5th 2010

Join Angela Gavin for an exquisite week at a working organic farm and yoga retreat in the Tuscan Foothills of Italy. This yoga adventure is devoted to cultivating our ability to be present through immersing all of our senses in the smells, tastes, sights and sounds of a part of the world that is renowned for living well and enjoying life.

Ebbio is a rustic but refined 14th century Tuscan Farmhouse where the atmosphere of the villa is charming, warm and welcoming. Ebbio serves family style Italian food and much of it comes from their organic garden.

Our Yoga will be in a spacious converted barn with a domed brick ceiling and old wood floors bathed in light. It is highly recommended that you have an established Vinyasa Flow practice and that you attend every Yoga class. The morning Vinyasa class will be an uplifting and energizing intermediate to advanced flow and include mostly asana. The evening class will be a slow Vinyasa and include asana, pranayama and meditation.

We will have four main excursions throughout our retreat in Tuscany together, including visiting the walled village of San Gimignano, the enchanting town of Siena, the Roman Hot Springs in Petriolo, and finally a visit to a winery and the town of Castellina in Chianti, a beautiful, quaint town with magnificent shops. You will have plenty of time to walk the streets, have a Gelato and shop!

Throughout our excursions, we will enjoy spectacular scenery on each trip: undulating hills, terraces of olive trees, country villages and hilltop castles. Across the main road from Ebbio and less than a mile by foot is the walled castle town of Monteriggioni. It is a beautifully preserved medieval fortified village built on a hilltop. We will have plenty of opportunities to walk to the town to tour the local shops, visit the small church, use the internet, sample Gelato, sit in the piazza and sip a glass of Chianti!
