YOGA & CULTURE IN ITALY
with SHERRI BAPTISTE
SEPTEMBER 9–16, 2017

When Inspiration for a Journey such as this shows up – DO IT.

Join us in Italy this coming September 9-16, 2017! This week is promising to be an exquisite and deeply nourishing Italian adventure in the countryside of Umbria. I am including some additional information below, and if you have any questions at all— please feel free to reach out any time.

Located about an hour from Rome in the midst of the Italian countryside are two beautifully restored rustic 17th-century stone farmhouses with just about the most beautiful outdoor yoga platform we’ve ever seen. The grounds are lush and abundant, with a natural spring, gardens, pond and gorgeous swimming pool. Each room is unique and tastefully designed in a simple, natural style, a combination of old and new.

We have a beautiful itinerary planned, wonderful, well balanced with time to explore and play in this historic Italian Medieval Village of Sabina.

Farm-to-table-meals are prepared by our private chef and enjoyed family-style on a large farm table overlooking the expansive valley below. This region of Umbria is a lesser-known gem with a rich culinary heritage, famous since ancient times for the quality of its food and drink—in particular its olive oil, one of the best in the world. Connect to this rich past through day trips to nearby Orvieto or hikes to nearby medieval villages.

Sherri is a skilled teacher for all levels of ability providing a safe, yet challenging practice for the experienced yoga participants while also offering modifications and variations for the beginners. We encourage participation in the morning yoga, as it builds community also awakening and preparing our bodies for the beautiful day ahead. The Yoga platform is said to be stunning on this property in its beauty, vistas and view. If your significant other would like to join us for this Italian journey, yet not interested in yoga, we do offer the daily class as an option.
