Join me for this fantastic yoga retreat holiday on the very special island of Ischia off the Amalfi coast of Italy.
I took my first ever retreat there in July 2017 and it now holds a special place in my heart and I can’t wait to go back. Michele, the host and his mother could not have made us more welcome with their delicious food (four course dinners!)
Casa Benedetto is situated in Succhivo, which is very close to the village of Sant’Angelo a truly pretty, unspoilt village on the coast. The venue will be for the exclusive use of the yoga group and will take a maximum of 14 participants in the yoga space. Sant’Angelo has narrow streets and lanes and high-fashion boutiques - you may either walk there or take the bus.
The small lush garden at the rear is perfect for those seeking peace and tranquility, surrounded by green vineyards and citrus groves. A peaceful garden with a bar-restaurant area, enfused with ancient perfume of flowers, with kiwi vines, lemon trees (with the biggest lemons I’ve ever seen!) and cicadas. This is where we will eat our meals.
We are just steps from the small and cozy beach 'Cava Grado' and close by is the famous Sorgeto Bay and its thermal hot springs coming into the sea at a temperature of 90 degrees. Casa Benedetto's terrace overlooks an immense sea from where you can see in the distance the small island of Capri.
Yoga will take place in the converted breakfast room in the house. Morning practice will usually start quietly with centring and Pranayama then we will move into a themed, alignment based Vinyasa Flow practice. Each session will close with meditation and relaxation.
Our evening practice will be more varied. Some sessions will be playful with partner work; others will be slow flow, Yin Yoga, Yoga Nidra or Restorative Yoga. During the day you will be free to relax and enjoy the beach, the lovely gardens, shop or take an excursion.
Cost £505 sharing or £605 for a single room.
