Italy Hiking & Yoga Retreat July 2023
Hiking & Yoga Retreat: join Eliza for 5 days of being immersed in nature & the practice of yoga
Take a step back from the business of life and dive deep into your practice, surrounded by the mountains of Piemonte.
This retreat combines the dynamic practice of breath-led, conscious Vinyasa Yoga which helps remove stagnation and enhance energy flow. And the deeply soothing nurturance of Restorative Yoga and Yoga Nidra to quiet the mind and create a deep sense of peace.
Plus, there will be led hikes of different length & intensit in the stunning Apennine mountains of Northern Italy.
This retreat is for everyone who wants to create balance of movement (Vinyasa yoga & hiking) and profound rest (Restorative Yoga & Yoga Nidra) and wants to feel deeply nourished by locally grown organic Italian food and the hug of a great community of yogis.
