TUSCANY RETREAT
with Kat and Nicole
14th-19th May 2022
ABOUT AGRITURISMO FONTENUOVA
Six days of yoga and relaxation with like-minded yogis in the stunning Tuscan countryside will be the highlight of your year!
Situated within a private 30 hectare estate of rolling hills and certified organic agricultural farmland, Il Casale (The Farmhouse) will be your home for the week. This beautiful retreat has spacious double or twin en suite bedrooms to rest your head and a rustic feel-at-home vibe. What’s more, there is a separate yoga shala a stone’s throw away where expansive views of green hills provide the backdrop to your daily yoga classes or your own personal practice.
We practice Dynamic Rocket yoga in the mornings and deep stretching and relaxing experiences in the evening from Yin Yoga and Sound Healing to Yoga Nidra meditation.
. During the day you can wander around the site’s own forest, olive grove, vineyard, medieval Roman and Etruscan ruins and a bathe in a natural hot pool.
Once you’ve explored the immediate surroundings, you may wish to venture to the village of Saturnia filled with locally owned restaurants, wine tasting tours, spas and sports facilities as well as its internationally renowned open-air thermal waterfall and baths (Terme di Saturnia).
This tranquil heaven combined with yoga, great company and luscious locally-sourced and home-prepared meals makes this the perfect relaxing getaway. You’ll leave feeling rejuvenated and perhaps with a few new life-long friends.
