Anyone who practises yoga knows very well that one of the finest experiences to live is a retreat. From a minimum of a long weekend to one, two or three weeks, up to the most recommended full month, a yoga retreat is an excellent way to unplug from the frantic pace of everyday life and reconnect with body, mind and heart.
The yoga retreat is a precious ally both for those who already practise and for those who are still complete beginners. That is why Yoga In Salento offers a calendar packed with events led also by great international masters. Many masters have chosen YIS as the location for their yoga retreats in Italy (John Scott, Louise Ellis, Tina Pizzimenti, Laruga Glaser, David Williams, Susanna Finocchi and many others). Acro yoga, Yoga Nidra and Ashtanga Yoga are just some of the disciplines offered, alongside the discovery of the Salento region, with its very long and splendid coasts bathed by a crystal-clear sea. Towns rich in historic sites that bear witness to ancient splendours, immersed in a countryside of centuries-old olive trees.
A yoga retreat in Italy is also a perfect occasion to get to know the healthy, typical food of our land. Here, what reaches the guests’ table is mostly produced in our organic vegetable gardens. The famous saying “we are what we eat” holds great value. The food we eat, the water we drink, the air we breathe and the experiences we live create what we are. Breakfast, brunch, lunch and dinner are the moments in which to learn to take care of one’s body, preparing it in the best way for yoga practice. The Chef designs the menu to offer guests a tasting experience with carefully chosen local (km 0) products.
All of this is set in an organic “Agriturismo” (Agricola Samadhi, a farm / guesthouse and restaurant) with a lovely garden, a large swimming pool, a vegetable garden, fruit and olive groves. The flavour of Italian food is incredible: what Italians do best is cook!
