It was an amazing trip to really settle into a new yoga community and countryside. Sharing practices, meals, wine, travel. And, was attainable for all who attended. Jenny and Patti have such a warm and confident way to read the room and include all throughout the practice so that everyone felt empowered by the end. And, it wasn't really complicated or too far reaching. As a "somewhat seasoned" yogi, I learned so much in not only poses, but cueing, style, approach, fitness (mind/body). I loved the variety of activities (wine tasting, painting, pasta making, day trips) that were oriented to our yogi mind (mind, body, soul). And, the schedule was just enough to keep you busy, and not make you feel like you were always on the go. It was truly a retreat.

Jenny and Patti are fantastic! The resort felt like a fairy tale. The food was delicious. The scheduling and day excursions were well thought out and executed seamlessly. It's evident that Jenny and Patti have cultivated a lot of connections in Italy and share their love for the area with their retreat attendees! I would highly recommend.

This was such a unique and unforgettable experience! Patti and Jenny have worked out all the details of the workshop and their planning really pays off in the quality of the classes, the offsite trips and the extracurricular activities. Everything from preparatory emails, getting to and from La Locanda, the wine tasting event and day trips are geared so that each person can participate without felling pressured to have to "do" anything. The classes were wonderful, well-paced and challenging, with just the right amount of downtime between each yoga session. The food was also excellent and the staff accommodates all dietary preferences. The accommodations are comfortable, if a bit spartan. Just remember, this is a working farm, and the setting in the Umbrian countryside is spectacular and very quiet. If you're considering doing this, don't wait--sign up for next year today!
