Practice & Relax in Puglia • September 12-19th, 2026
If you’re looking to take a deep dive into your practice while also immersing yourself in one of the world’s most beautiful and peaceful settings, this retreat is for you. With hundreds of miles of stunning coastlines, a variety of charming small towns and the best of Italian cuisine, Puglia is the perfect place to take a break from the grind and reconnect with your natural rhythms.
Warm, turquoise waters. Charming old-world towns. An abundance of homegrown, homemade Italian cuisine, and plenty of time to practice and uplug — what’s not to love?
Our base for this retreat will be the amazing Yoga in Salento, one of the world’s most sought after retreat centers. A beautiful Italian villa situated in the midst of a thriving organic farm, it is an enchanting oasis of wellness and rejuvenation. And with the long days of mid-summer, will have plenty of time to enjoy the many natural wonders in the area.
My intention for this retreat is simple: Practice & Relax
Unlike most of my other retreats, I won't be organizing any excursions or group activities. There are plenty of stunning beaches and interesting sights to in the area, and you are welcome to explore them to your heart's content if you like (there are taxis or you can rent a car). What I will be offering is a healthy dose of yoga, moral support and general good humor :)
We will have a long practice each morning (between 2-2.5 hours), as well as 4 late afternoon practices/workshops throughout the week (roughly 90 mins each). If that sounds like a lot of yoga to you, don't worry. There will be a balance of power & restorative practices, as well as meditation and yogic philosophy discussions. And if you need to rest or would rather do something else, you're always welcome to sit out any of the sessions. It's not boot camp, after all. But I will definitely be offering an opportunity to take your practice to new heights if that is what you want.
