I'm curious!
Do I need to be experienced in Yoga to come on a Yoga Retreat?
Daily meditation and yoga classes will be offered in a way to relax, stimulate, and help guests grow in their own personal practice. Classes are open to all levels, beginner to practiced, and can range from gentle, meditative, and more vigorous vinyasa styles. Style and class levels will be determined and molded to fit participating students' needs, and with a small intimate retreat class size, students will be able to get personalized attention to deeply explore their practice. Classes will be held in gardens of the villa and/or in an indoor space.
How much yoga can I expect?
The group yoga portion of the trip will be in the morning and evening from 60 to 90 minutes depending on the excursions that we have planned each day. The yoga portion of the trip is optional, however, the yoga is an important part to reflect on your experience and gain the most awareness and appreciation for the experience. Some longer workshop classes will be offered to dive deeper into the practice.
What is the teachers' experience?
Sherry Smith, Founder and highly experienced yoga teacher, will facilitate the classes along with a hand picked co-teacher, which will help each student focus on improving their practice and gaining new insights into their bodies and movements. They have studied various types of yoga disciplines with combined experience of over 20 years. Classes combine powerful movements with more anatomical-based core Vinyasa flow in her personal practice and teaching style. Read more about their experience on a the About Us page
The teachers have a passion for yoga and travel,especially a love for Europe. These trips are unique to yoga retreats as it is a complete and total immersion not only into yoga, but into the food and culture of the area that we are visiting, which enhances all aspects of our trip which marries inner and outer exploration.
I am very interested in the trip, but I do not have anyone to share a room with will you pair me up with someone? YES. We are happy to pair you up with someone. All retreats foster a community environment, so there will be a minimum of 2 people in every room and a maximum of 4 people. In all cases thus far, people have found life-long friends in their room-mates.
