We’re headed back to the lovely In Sabina for the third year in a row!
This retreat is perfect for you if you’d like to: deepen your yoga practice, spend some time in the quiet of nature, get a little taste of Italian luxury, and immerse yourself in a culture famous for its hospitality, warmth and openheartedness.
In Sabina, a 17th century villa transformed into a retreat center and one of the world’s best yoga centers, will serve as the stunning backdrop for our week. It’s just 45 minutes from Rome and nestled between the olive groves and fruit trees of the breathtaking Sabine hills. Great Yoga Retreats (Taschen, 2009) describes In Sabina this way: “From each of the three terraces there is an amazing view of the sunset that stirs even the most unshakable of yogis…simply and lovingly furnished inside, hammocks and loungers at the pool, and a richly laid table in the garden turn this place into a second home that makes you forget the passing time.”
Each morning begins with a two-hour long, challenging and dynamic vinyasa class. From Savasana, you’ll rise to the smells of coffee brewing and breakfast cooking. Our afternoon practice will integrate meditation with restorative postures to get us grounded and rested. In between, you’re free to lounge by the pool, hike in the surrounding Sabine hillside, walk into town for a gelato, take a train to Rome, or do nothing at all! Add to that a day-long excursion to Orvieto for shopping and wine, a luxurious massage, and a cooking class with In Sabina’s chef, and you’ll know you’re truly in paradiso.
