About this trip

SICILY! With Tony and Dages


A Sumptuous Retreat

With Tony Lupinacci and Dages Juvelier Keates


Join Tony and Dages in summer sun soaked Sicily as we relish in a pregnant pause. Our home for the week is a 19th century farmhouse, La Masseria, in the heart of Sicily's rugged, ancient and arid southern landscape. Savor the sun, taste the fruits, and languorously linger with us as we practice  twice a day, meditate on the miracle of breath,  and visit neighboring beaches and historical villages. In the first part of the day, we will practice vigorously, folding our  forms towards increasing complexity and fluency,  enabling you to fit you without compromise. Punctuated by mantra and breath  work, this practice forward retreat  will take you deeper into the terra incognita of your most valuable asset, your body. After working up an appetite, we will enjoy everyone’s favorite joys  of being in Italy.  We'll enjoy  fruit and coffee, a big brunch after practice and a delicious dinner every evening highlighting the best of seasonal and local cuisine.    We'll practice in a gorgeous pitch-roofed barn, fully outfitted with props and enjoy swimming in the idyllic fresh water pool all week.

About Us


Tony and Dages have decades of very different practice and teaching in their wheelhouses. After meeting (in Italy!) in 2018, we started interrogating each other’s practices, learning about one another’s different formulas, facing each other and borrowing freely from the other’s recipe box. Both adamant self-practitioners, we recognized a shared nerdiness and devoted discipline. We are eager to share with our different communities  from this research . 

KATONAH YOGA® was founded by Nevine Michaan, and is a Hatha yoga practice refined over forty years, blended with Taoist theory, sacred geometries, pranayama, and meditation. For more information, please visit www.katonahyoga.com.

This was an enriching and grounding experience. Tony has a beautiful way of communicating the tenets of yoga with relatable context and memorable examples. Great storytelling coupled with very healing pranyama and asana practice. Felt good in this challenging time to touch root with such a master teacher!

A few weeks ago, I attended a yoga retreat at Cocoon, and it was truly an amazing experience. The peaceful, nature-filled setting made it easy to unwind and disconnect from everyday stress. Tony and Lulu were exceptional instructors, creating a warm and inclusive atmosphere for all levels. Each session was carefully crafted to enhance both practice and relaxation. The food was not only delicious but also incredibly nourishing. I left feeling deeply inspired and would highly recommend this retreat to anyone.

This was by far the best retreat/vacation I have ever been on. Cocoon is a magical place, so well organized, clean and beautiful. There was the perfect amount of downtime vs. scheduled activities which were totally optional, but totally worth it.

Stunning island, amazing food, yoga and just the perfect trip! I never would have found this incredible little island without Tony & Kyle's retreat, so I am extremely grateful. They both read the group very well and scheduled the yoga style/classes to suit the mood on the day. The boat trip and dinner out was so much fun!! Honestly one of the best holidays I have had, and visiting such a special and unspoiled place was such a privilege.
