About Your Yoga Teacher and Host.
Simona is a well-rounded yoga teacher with a good awareness of anatomical bodies and their mechanics having been a dancer for 10 years and practiced yoga for 20. She is particularly interested in alignment to allow everybody to explore steady yoga poses in a safe way through precise cues.
A certified Experienced Yoga teacher by Yoga Alliance Professionals, Simona first qualified as a Kids Yoga Teacher in 2014 and subsequently specialised further in Hatha, Anusara®, Rasa and Seasonal Yoga. She likes to flow combining all these styles and includes elements of the seasons in her sessions to connect with nature. Different techniques of breath work open her classes to centre and ground. Her interest in philosophy shines through her theming and the Hindu Gods and Goddesses make often an appearance to inspire her pupils through story telling or life affirming poetry. Meditation is part of her practice and she also enjoys teaching Restorative, Yin and Yoga Nidra to allow the nervous system to slow down and regenerate.
Her warm and caring nature shines through as she likes to carefully plan her lessons, workshops and retreats and give a sense of community, support and belonging.

Location
This well-established Retreat Centre is comprised of two beautifully restored 17th century stone buildings nestled in rolling hills and olive groves. There is plenty of space to chill out and the grounds include lush gardens with fruit trees, a natural pond, a swimming pool equipped with sun beds, three terraces and the famous yoga platform designed by architect Marco Antonini. In case of bad weather there is also an indoor practice room with large windows.
​
Nourishing Yoga
There will be a morning and an evening practice on most days, excluding the days of arrival and departure and when other activities or trips are planned. The physical practice will always be adjusted to the level of the group and options will be offered to make it accessible to all. A minimum of yoga experience is desirable but not necessary to take part in this Retreat.
The style taught will be based on Anusara® Yoga with its alignment principles as well as inspiring heart themes. There will also be elements of seasonal yoga to connect with the elements and to celebrate the summer solstice.
​
Unique Accomodation
Simple yet comfortable, the nicely designed rooms and facilities put an accent on natural materials and an ecological philosophy.

Meals will be shared around a communal table where meaningful conversation as well as laughter are bound to be enjoyed by all.

Your time away
These 6 days and 5 nights away will be for you to enjoy at your own pace. Everything is an invitation and you don't have to do it all. On top of the yoga we are planning to offer also other activities during the day (at an additional cost). There will be various opportunities to explore the surrounding area through walks in the hills and to the nearby village. There are fabulous medieval towns and some thermal baths).
