Ophold og retræter

En retræte er et ophold over flere dage eller uger med både yogapraksis, aktiviteter, overnatning og forplejning, hvor du kan fordybe dig i yogaen og i samværet med andre ligesindede yogier give mulighed for at lade nye vaner og tanker udfolde sig.

Yoga-retreat in Sicily
with Elena De Martin, Susanna Finocchi and Jens Bache

- deepen your yoga practice and relax under the sun on the beautiful Mediterranean island of Sicily.

The first week with Elena from Saturday 18th till Saturday 25th of June and the second week from Saturday 25th till Saturday July 2nd with all 3 of us.

Elena De Martin from Ashtanga Yoga Milano will conduct the retreat and teach the first week from Saturday 18th by herself and the second week from Saturday 25th teach together with Susanna and Jens. They are long term friends and colleagues and will combine their experiences, knowledge and skills to give you a unique opportunity to deepen and develop your practice with relaxed time to reflect upon your individual path and the different meanings of yoga.

A serene environment in harmony with nature in a friendly atmosphere will give you special possibilities to find inner peace and light. This is a beautiful place in a spirit of vacation where you in between the yoga activities can hang out with fellow yogis, make new friends or maybe just read under the umbrella at the pool or take a walk. One or two weeks will give you lasting impacts and nice memories to bring home as inspiration for the daily practices in your home shala.

Yoga activities will take place from Sunday morning to Friday afternoon with Saturdays for rest and arrivals or departures.

The retreat will take place at Azienda Agriturismo Passitti  - a farm house surrounded by orange trees and green fields with a beautiful view of the Vulcano Etna on the idyllic Island of Sicily. The Azienda also has a swimming pool and all we need for a great time together.

Meeting will be 5.30 p.m. Saturday June 18th for the first week (we will consider people arriving at different times) ending Saturday June 25th which is then also the starting day of the second week. The retreat will end on Saturday July 2nd after lunch.
