Your Journey
Yoga & Meditaion
Start your day with a guided, grounding meditation followed by a dynamic morning Vinyasa Yoga practice. The evening sessions combine more gentle Yin Yoga and Restorative Yoga. Every other day provides an optional intermediate powerful flow. The sessions are heartfelt, illuminating, and usually follow a deeper theme weaving in Yoga Philosophy for an inspiring experience. Each day will have a specific theme so you get to learn more about yoga, philosophy, and yourself.
Optional Excursion
Do nothing or do everything! Visit the Gangi Village and Cefalu to explore these two beautiful locations, have lunch and maybe a little Masala wine - a local specialty. In addition, you can book an onsite massage, river rafting, or guided hikes. If you want to explore further you could also hire a car, visit Mt Etna, the Greek-Roman Ruins and more.
Choose your room
There are 13 rooms distributed between the main building and the lovely garden cottages. The main house has four private bedrooms with ensuite bathrooms. The remaining rooms are in the cottages on the grounds; each cottage has two twin/double bedrooms sharing 1 bath with a common area and terrace. All twin bedrooms have two beds that can be separated or joined together so you can stay on your own or share with another person - come with a friend or a partner. There are two single occupancy rooms available. All rooms have heating and air conditioning facilities and are elegantly furnished with antique or Sicilian style furniture.
Your Experience
Where you will practice
The yoga space is truly stunning. You will practice in a fully equipped, 1500 square foot dome with vaulted beams and a soaring arch which provides a dramatic setting for your daily yoga practice. The 60-acre estate includes a stunning swimming pool, an 18th-century labyrinth garden and a secluded oak wood. A private river offers the chance to swim or to take in the beauty with a meditative walk. Three different lounge areas offer the perfect space to relax and read.
Where you will rest
A beautifully renovated 17th century “Masseria” is set in an impressive 60-acre private park. There are 13 double/twin rooms and two single occupancy rooms distributed between the main building and the lovely garden cottages. All rooms are equipped with heating and air conditioning. All rooms are elegantly furnished with antique or Sicilian style furniture. Enjoy your rest as much as you enjoy your yoga!
What you will eat
It’s Italy and the food is a true highlight! Enjoy three nutritious and delicious meals each day that are inspired by a farm-to-table philosophy. The menu will be mainly plant-based with the addition of some chicken and the local specialist sausages. All the food, from the bread cakes, yogurt and cheeses, seasonal soups and stews, and salads, is freshly prepared. And of course, pasta is prepared with Sicilian traditions.
Where you can explore
The choice is yours with a wide variety of activities to choose from. There is much to explore in the local area, surrounding villages, and the island as a whole. The breath-taking Sicilian landscape invites long walks, foraging for wild asparagus, and maybe a rafting trip on of the Pollina river. The fall provides the opportunity to harvest fresh olives from the grounds. An Ayurvedic massage, with wild herbs from the Sicilian mountains, is also an option.
