7 days with Sandra and Alex in Italy
September 14—20 2024
It's that magical time of year when summer slowly takes its leave, the sun sends its gentle rays and the light takes on an almost magical quality. In the midst of this atmospheric transition, we invite you to take your senses on an inward journey.
During this week we will start in the morning with a 2-3h holistic yoga practice with asana, pranayama and meditation.
On two afternoons, Alex will teach workshops in which he will playfully teach inversion postures such as handstand and forearm stand, as well as balancing postures such as various birds and crows.
When we are not on the mat or doing walking meditation, you can relax, swim in the pool, go for a walk and enjoy the sweet life/la dolve vita.
We end the day with meditation and chanting together.
Jonas will spoil us with regional and seasonal delicacies.

7 days with Sandra & Alexandre in Italy
September 14.—20. 2024
It is that magical time of year when summer is coming to an end, the sun is still gently shining, the light is becoming more and more magical, and you feel invited to turn your senses inward again.
During this week, you will start your mornings with a holistic yoga practice (about 2-2.5 hours), including pranayama and dhyana. During the day, you can relax, swim in the pool, go for a walk, and enjoy la dolce vita. You'll finish the day with pranayama, meditation, and chanting together.
Jonas will treat you to culinary delights - those in the know, know…
