Abundance of Life: La Dolce Vita x Jivamukti Retreat with Sheila Ilz van Hofen

Details

  1. September - 04. October 2024 with Sheila Ilz van Hofen

Most of us have unlearned how to relax, play and enjoy life. We often feel guilty or unproductive when carving out time for ourselves in our busy schedules. With this retreat, we aim to collectively remind ourselves that we are allowed to rest! We want you to enjoy the sweet art of doing less, while diving deep into the practices of Yoga to transform your everyday life.

Our Villa Pravernara founders Sheila and Yona are joining forces for this retreat and do what they know best: bringing together vigorous Jivamukti Yoga, delicious food and joyous La Dolce Vita vibes!

When you’re not practicing or eating, enjoy a stroll through the beautiful hills of Piemonte while basking in late-summer sun, discover the market and try ice cream in the small town Valenza. We make sure you have enough space for me-time, to unwind and simply enjoy our spacious villa.

Please note: This retreat is for Intermediate practitioners. Participants should have a consistent practice of Jivamukti Yoga or be familiar with Ashtanga Vinyasa or another Vinyasa style. If you are unsure about it, feel free to reach out.

Please note: There is a minimum number of participants for this retreat. If this number is not reached 40 days before the start, we reserve the right to cancel the retreat.
