The Bliss Retreat: Revive & Thrive on this 9 day, 8 night Adventure in Italy with Mike Dynie and Andrea Robertson

Dates:

Friday April 22th to Saturday April 30th, 2016

About our retreat:

We are so excited to share a piece of adventure with you at the beautiful In Sabina in Italy for this 9 day, 8 night Blissful Yoga Retreat. With its spectacular views and magical setting, In Sabina lies in the midst of the Italian countryside less than an hour from Rome and nestled amidst olive groves and landscapes that is made from dreams. The grounds are lush and abundant with a natural spring, gardens, pond, and swimming pool. The property is peaceful, rustic and ideal for spiritual practice and restorative vacation.

This retreat is the perfect blend of engaging activity and peacefulness. Every day will include optional yoga classes of your choice with Mike Dynie or Andrea Robertson, including Meditation, Hatha, Ashtanga, Vinyasa and Restorative/Yin practices as well as workshops on yoga philosophy and meditation. All meals are provided onsite by our private chef who will turn the garden’s abundant produce into spectacular vegetarian meals enjoyed with wine. We will be venturing out to a local pizzeria on the Friday night of the retreat (April 29th) to enjoy some highly recommended local fare. Most days will include an optional offsite activity including olive oil and wine tastings, cooking classes, hike to Casperia (3 hours there and back), local village tours, and/or a visit to the healing waters of the nearby sulphur springs.

There are 2 spaces for yoga and meditation one inside and the other one a beautiful yoga platform outdoors with nature. The property is beautifully designed to reflect the natural environment. The retreat centre provides blocks, mats, straps and even yoga chairs.

In Sabina is a unique place to recharge and immerse yourself in nature! The grounds include several spaces for solitary meditation, reading, and relaxation.

Two lovingly restored 17th-century stone buildings overlook an undulating panorama of olive groves and fruit trees. There are three terraces where you can relax and watch the stunning sunsets. A magnificent yoga platform sits in the valley, surrounded by verdant nature and wildlife as it overlooks a natural spring and lily pond.

Guest rooms are designed in a warm, natural style, a combination of old and new that’s comfortable and calm, and each guest room is unique and named for it’s corresponding colour.

Relax, recharge and soak in the Italian culture. Take this time for you to awaken to your own dulce vita and join us to explore this region of Italy. No experience necessary in yoga or meditation – the perfect retreat for you to enjoy with your partner, friend or treat yourself to a solo adventure shared with like minded individuals.
