Restart Retreat
Restart Retreat
A week to build resilience and recalibrate your nervous system.
Just 2 spots remain. We'll gather as a small group of no more than 25 students, creating plenty of opportunity for connection. Please note that only shared rooms are still available. But in my experience, shared rooms are where the best conversations happen.
Most people who join me in Italy have already practiced with me online. They come because there is something about being together in person that simply can't be replicated through a screen.
A question asked over lunch. A small adjustment in practice. An unexpected conversation. A feeling of being seen and supported by a community of like-minded yogis.
We'll spend the week practicing, resting, eating well, and enjoying the spacious rhythm of life on an olive farm near the Adriatic Sea.
Simple, restorative, and deeply nourishing.

How do I get to the retreat?
Getting to Southern Italy is easier than you might think.
Many students travel internationally on their own for retreat, and we'll make sure you have all the information you need to arrive at Yoga in Salento smoothly and confidently.
If you're traveling from the United States, one easy option is to fly into Rome, spend a few days exploring the city, and then take a short domestic flight to Brindisi (BDS), the airport closest to the retreat center.
Once you arrive in Brindisi, you're only about 50 km from the retreat center. You can take a train or arrange a private transfer through the retreat center, and they'll connect you with a trusted local driver.
The second closest airport is Bari (BRI), about a two-hour drive from the retreat center. From Bari, you can take a train or arrange a private transfer.
Wherever you're coming from, the retreat center can help you coordinate your travel and transportation options. You won't be left to figure it out on your own.
You’re welcome to arrive at the retreat center from 14:00 on Saturday, August 29th. Our first event is dinner that evening at 20:00.
