About this trip

Join me for this seven day, six night transformative experience that includes three days of Ayurveda treatments and daily Yoga while enjoying the restorative benefits of nature. Sen is nestled in between an idyllic stretch of sandy beach along the southern Sri Lankan coastline and a tranquil lagoon within the Rekawa Nature Reserve. 


Dotted around the Sanctuary you will find several beautifully designed areas with comfortable seating and day beds where you can relax, soak up the serenity of the space, and let yourself be inspired by a book from the in-house library. Along with the Beach, the Pool and The Walled Garden you will find many peaceful places to enjoy your time at Sen. 


I am so excited to spend a week with you at this special place!

The Food

Sri Lanka has a rich and vibrant culinary culture which inspires the approach to food at the Sanctuary. Sri Lanka is blessed with many fruits, vegetables, leaves, and spices, allowing Sen to create a traditional menu that stimulates the senses. 

 

The menu is mindfully created to support vibrant health and happiness, balancing ayurvedic nutrition and pure enjoyment.

Food at the Sanctuary is predominantly vegetarian and contains no dairy and very little wheat. They occasionally serve fish, but only when it has been freshly caught by the local fishermen. They don’t serve coffee or alcohol, which helps to cleanse the system and works in harmony with the treatments. 


All of the food is seasonal, locally produced, and supplied by local markets that share their ethos on sustainable food production. The Sanctuary has also started to grow their own vegetables and fruits at their biodynamic farm in the rainforest.

From the location, to the company, to the practice - it truly was a blissful week in Tuscany. Neil took great care in finding an accommodation offering all needed comforts for a relaxing, yet immersive week in the Tuscan countryside. The team supporting at the villa were bright, warm lights in each of our days; serving fresh, healthy, delicious meals and ensuring we were well taken care of. I got to deepen my understanding of different aspect of yoga, while deepening my practice through Neil's challenging and energizing flows. Cherry on top - good people attract good people and the friends on this retreat were second to none.

Exceeded all expectations! I knew that Yoga with Neil would be AMAZING because Neil is amazing! And, it was. The villa Locanda Cugnanello was spectacularly beautiful and the staff was really warm and welcoming and so eager to make sure that all the guests had a great time. The food was freshly prepared everyday and the attention to detail was very noticeable. The rooms are well equipped with everything you need and refreshed daily. There are nice big fans in the rooms and you need them! It was hot! (But, it was just as hot in my home town, too). Neil Wadhawan was exceptional. Yoga with Neil isn't just yoga. It isn't just spiritual. It is a musical journey that blends his knowledge of yoga AND music into a spiritual, PHYSICAL, emotional, and moving practice. He was determinted that every student receive what he/she needed. He really nutured the practices of those students who were new to Yoga and he strengthened the practice of the more experienced yogis in the room. Italy was wonderful in its reception of us - the Italians were so wonderful, welcoming, and had great English skills! Thank you, thank you, thank you!

I recently had the pleasure of attending Neil's yoga retreat in Tuscany, Italy, and it was truly a spectacular experience. Neil was incredibly focused on ensuring our well-being throughout the entire trip. The staff at our villa in Tuscany were attentive, kind, and thoughtful - they were one of the highlights of the experience! The retreat offered a perfect balance of exercise and relaxation, and the food was impeccable. I would highly recommend signing up for another retreat with Neil at this beautiful location!
