Whats Involved?
Your home for this 16 day all-inclusive training will be a charming estate, located in the Chianti area of Tuscany.
​
There are two large country villas with pricing options for single occupancy, and shared by request. One villa has just been renovated, and is priced at a slight premium. The other is just as special, but with a rustic charm! This will be your home with a group of likeminded Yogis as you learn and practice throughout your time in Tuscany.
​
You will dive deeper into learning about the practice of yoga and learn a range of skills as both a teacher and student. You will study the roots of yoga and its culture and, at the same time, we will encourage you to think outside the box to create your own personal style. Subjects include Yoga sequencing, pose breakdowns, basic anatomy, pranayama, philosophy, assists and adjustments, and much more. You will leave this training feeling confident in your newfound knowledge and experience!
​
Come and journey with us on this adventure! We will enjoy amazing Italian meals together, become closest of friends, and explore some of the beauty Italy has to offer such as the thermal hot springs of Saturnia and wine tasting in nearby vineyards. Not to forget, our own pizza oven for pizza nights! We hope to see you soon.

Experience Tuscany
Your Days Off.
During our time together, you will fall in love with the Italian countryside. On our days off, we will explore the amazing offerings of Florence and wider Tuscany. Picture a day spent in the Chianti countryside, at a villa amidst vineyards and olive groves - possibly wine tasting. We will make authentic pizzas in the wood fired oven, enjoy the breathtaking scenery, and relax with an amazing community of friends. We will also venture to the Thermal Hot Springs of Saturnia. These are the stunning terraced pools, that are turquoise in color. We will welcome the sunrise at the hot springs, followed by breakfast at the Terme di Saturnia resort, and much needed relaxation in their private hot springs. We may also spend the day exploring the city of Florence. There are endless opportunities, and we will make sure your days off will be experiences for you to cherish for the rest of your life.
