LA DOLCE VITA

Come live “The Sweet Life” in Tuscany Italy May 11-18th

A RETREAT FOR YOGA TEACHERS

Join us in the enchanting hills of Tuscany for a nourishing, rejuvenating and inspiring ‘meeting of kindred spirits’ for this special retreat created for Yoga Teachers. Molly Cofman and I invite you to join us for a week of practice, discovery, inspiration and nourishment, a retreat like no other, “La Dolce Vita”.

As a yoga teacher, it seems going to a retreat is not as easy as it used to be when we were students! Too often, after teacher training, we yoga teachers loose connection to a supportive community of peers and our own practices. Come enjoy the sweet life with us in Italy! Give yourself a break, practice for yourself, and see what magic comes from spending time with other teachers and community leaders.

*Where?*
We will gather at the enchanting Podere Fiorli in Tuscany, near Volterra. Podere Fiorli, once a Franciscan monastery, is a welcoming Tuscan farmhouse with its olive grove, vineyard, flower and vegetable gardens, and by virtue of being surrounded by nature and its breathtaking landscapes, it is the ideal location for retreat.

*What?*
A gathering of souls for one week of daily meditation and yoga practice, explorations into the ‘yoga of life’, essential oils, cooking class, wine tasting, soap and salve making, exploring Volterra, singing, fireside chats, connecting and being held by two internationally acclaimed teachers amongst like-minded friends.

Who?
Those currently teaching or sharing yoga, anyone who has completed a level 1 teacher training (whether actively teaching or not), anyone currently doing a teacher training. As a collective, we will grow, reconnect and leave with new ideas and inspiration so that together we can better share this amazing wisdom whether through teaching or simply feeling more integrated as a person.

What is included:

7 nights accommodation
Three locally sourced vegetarian meals each day
Daily morning meditation and yoga practice
Evening specialty practices (yin, chakra workshops, yoga nidra, chanting, etc.)
Cooking Class
Organic Wine and Cheese tasting
Salve and soap making workshop
Endless belly laughs, quiet moments and big, deep breaths
Time for reflection, journaling, enjoying the swimming pool or taking a walk

Accommodations:

We have single, double and triple occupancy rooms available. As Podere Fiorli is a historical Tuscan farmhouse, all bathrooms are shared (approximately 3 participants per bathroom depending on group size). Think familiar, family-like, easy going environment…
