Yoga Retreats to Italy 2027
Presence+ Practice: Curated retreats. Exceptional experiences.
Valle d’Aosta: Spa Hotel & Mountain Hikes
The Background: Courmayeur is in Valle d’Aosta, a region Amalia has returned to with her family for years, spending seasons exploring its mountain trails, gathering around alpine tables, and discovering its most authentic corners. Now, she is bringing you into that inner circle.
The Vibe: Invigorating and active, but balanced with restoration.
This retreat takes you high into the Mont Blanc range to Gran Baita Luxury Alpine Resort for a mix of mindful movement and mountain adventure. In addition to daily morning yoga, active trail exploration is part of the week, taking you through pine forests, high-altitude ridges, and alpine meadows.
Who it is for: Anyone who loves the outdoors, fresh mountain air, guided hiking, and ending an active day in a thermal spa.
Inclusions: Morning yoga sessions, 4 star superior Spa Hotel accommodations, curated mountain hiking itineraries, and unforgettable dining experiences.
The Background: Amalia has been to Puglia every year for the past 20 years, including hosted her wedding at Masseria Mozzone in September 2022, and recognized it as being the perfect location for an intimate yoga retreat.
The Vibe: Grounding, familial, warm, and effortless.
This retreat is designed around the Italian art of “dolce far niente” (the sweetness of doing nothing). Based in a private historic masseria just minutes from the coast, your days revolve around gentle movement practices, sunlit afternoons by the pool, and easy trips to the sea or nearby towns.
Who it is for: Anyone seeking looking to slow down completely, soak up the southern sun, swim in the sea, and enjoy lazy, long family-style dinners amidst under the olive trees.
Inclusions: Morning and evening yoga sessions, masseria accommodations on ancient agricultural lands, private coastal dining, and unstructured free time.
