The morning lesson will be more intense. It offers variations and support for those who are just starting out, but gives those who already rock the opportunity to let loose on the mat. The evening practice will include workshops, yin and hatha yoga, somatic practices.

In Italy, food is important :)
The first evening, we’ll gather in a beautiful private courtyard for a relaxed getting-together. It will be a moment to unwind after the journey, enjoy delicious vegetarian food, and begin to get to know each other.
The second evening will be dedicated to visiting a classic Venetian bacaro for spritz and the traditional cicchetti.
On the third evening, we’ll share a special dinner in a magical greenhouse at the Lido of Venice, where we’ll eat what we’ve prepared together during a fun and creative cooking class.
