Details

  1. August - 16. August 2024 with Sheila Ilz van Hofen and Gunnhildur Hardadottir

We invite you to our Soft Opening Retreat at Villa Pravernara!

Together we will inaugurate the freshly renovated villa, yoga shala and surrounding grounds and celebrate the high summer season in Italy.

Our Villa Pravernara founder Sheila and her dear friend Gunnhildur Hardadottir, both Advanced Jivamukti Yoga teachers from Berlin, are hosting this retreat together.

Expect extended morning practices including meditation, pranayama and asana, afternoons will be workshops to different themes, yin yoga and yoga nidra. We plan 1 trip to the beach.

The week that we chose is the week of shooting stars. We use that special time of a year for a cosy stargazing night, watching the stars and sending our wishes out to the universe.
