I am SO excited to let you know that I will be facilitating a yoga retreat to Rome, Florence and Tuscany next fall. This trip will include daily yoga for those "new to yoga" to beginners to more seasoned/intermediate practitioners with a diverse mix of uplifting flow, meditation, yoga nidra and thai yogassage influenced by the styles of Kripalu and Anusara. I am in the process of refining the itinerary but wanted to let you know now to save the dates! We will tour Rome, experience museums and a cooking class in Florence, visit hot mineral springs, and medieval towns. Rome and Florence will be options availalble prior to Tuscany.

Tuscany
Sept. 26th - Oct. 3rd
We will be guests at an 800 year old classic Tuscan farmhouse converted into a stylish yoga retreat. Looking out one of the many windows of the different accommodations in Ebbio, you will be captivated by the undulating hills swept with thriving vineyards, olive trees and enchanting evergreen forests. The amazing part of Ebbio is that it is still a working Tuscan Farm with its own Chianti wine production.
Our host, Franz, will prepare delicious vegetarian meals for us using organic produce grown in gardens right on property!
Located in the breathtaking countryside of Tuscany, it is only 42 kms from Florence, 11 kms from Siena, 9 km from Castellina in Chianti and 1km from Monteriggioni, a little medieval jewel. Activities include horseback riding, mountain biking, hiking, and of course visiting art cities like San Gimignano, Volterra, Montepulciano, and Siena. The National Park of Alberese, about an 1 1/2 hour drive, is a fantastic location for long walks along the shore and swimming in the Mediterranean.
