“When life throws you lemons, make limoncello.” 🍋🍋🍋
Now visualize yourself, all cocooned up with your neck pillow and all, on a transatlantic flight from the USA to Italy.
Puglia, Italy
The land of pasta, mozzarella & burrata, wine, views, architecture, fashion, opera, art, romance (with life itself!), and…
…where we are meeting up!
At your arrival at the Brindisi airport in Puglia (a port city on the south east coast of Italy), you’ll be met by our driver.
Our private villa is located in the middle of nature, close to the coast, and just a few minutes from the town they call the white city, Ostuni. All bedrooms have their own private bathroom. In the garden is a beautiful swimming pool, and a sun terrace equipped with sun beds. The best part? The top floor of the villa! It has a panoramic terrace with a view over the valley, and it’s the ideal place for sunrise / sunset watching!
This all inclusive trip is all about soaking up everything that southern Italy is known for, the slower pace of life, the local and organic foods & wines, the incredibly beautiful towns, archaeological sites, and kind people.
Most days, we will start with yoga & meditation, followed by breakfast. Coffee and tea will be available from the moment we open our eyes. The kitchen will also be stocked for anyone that likes to have a pre-breakfast or midday snack. During the day we will be out exploring all that this region has to offer! And from past making classes, to exploring the local cuisine, and having a private chef spoil us, our meals will all be fresh, local & organic products. Some nights we will end our nights with yin yoga; to be able to further relax and unwind from our long and fun filled days. And either you practice yoga or not, this trip is so much more than that! Over the last decade or so, more than half of the retreat participants hadn’t practiced yoga before they showed up at a yoga adventure with me. They simply joined because they wanted to travel, see, and do what it is we all experience on these life changing trips. The side effect? Most realized how much they really enjoyed the yoga part as well! 😊
Throughout our week together, we will (and all that’s included):
- All breakfasts / brunches & dinners (on day off, dinner is on your own)

I recommend flying into Rome and then stay & visit this one of a kind open air museum city for at least 1-3 nights! - Domestic roundtrip flights to/from Rome to Brindisi
