Retreat Programme
We will open the retreat with a post flight relaxing yoga class, to help you settle into the stay, followed by a gentle stroll to our local restaurant for dinner. The following days will each begin with pranayama and a challenging yoga practice, followed by meditation and a long s(h)avasana. After which we will enjoy a much needed hearty brunch. Our favourite chef will prepare two gourmet dinners for us which are included with your stay.

You will also have unlimited use to relax in the sauna or jacuzzi, while enjoying our stunning views floating in our private pool. Lake Como is known for its dramatic scenery, set against the foothills of the Alps and is known for some of the most romantic and picturesque scenery in Italy. I will help you create an unforgettable retreat adjusted to your personal needs.

FOOD
|
Wholesome delicious food has long been a focus of all of my retreats. We've had a combination of everyone's favourite Chef Leo provide delicious meals using local ingredients to where we're based, as well as sampled many local incredible restaurants.
Food is part of the retreat experience at Yoga with Anna Retreats, and sampling the local, renowned dishes, are a highlight. We will have delicious home cooked brunches every day and enjoy two dinners from the comfort of our farmhouse, included. The first and last night we will enjoy meals out to break in and celebrate the end of our time together. Should you decide to explore the local area, there are plenty of excursions to choose from where you can enjoy local cuisine for lunch, and ice cream. Lake Como is well known for its fine cuisine - you can explore local restaurants and bistros in historic characterful towns, or on the waters front. And if you enjoy wine, there are many delicious local wines to enjoy during your stay. |

Exploring (Optional)
"Villa del Balbianello will leave you breathless, thanks to its beautiful terraced gardens and picturesque structure." Frequently used for film sets, it offers breath taking views of the western shore of Lake Como, not far from where we are staying.

One of the most glamorous and romantic destinations known as the “Pearl of Lake Como”. Home to colourful historic centre, beautiful gardens, shops, and steeped in tradition
|
Villa Carlotta is also one of my favourites, and within walking distance of our accommodation.
|
Hiking around Tremezzina is one of the best ways to experience more of the landscape, and we can find you recommendations to get the best views.

YOGA
My aim is to teach from a deeply intuitive place, drawing on a lifetime of body work and self-inquiry. I hope to empower those who lead busy lives with tools to regain their balance, energy, focus and explore their lighter side. I design yoga programmes to empower EVERY BODY from within, helping to gain a can do attitude and leave feeling charged to conquer life with their new tools.
The longer I teach, the more I realise how paramount it is for each student to feel supported and guided to practice safely, mindful yet challenged to explore their best abilities, within a nurturing and safe environment.
⤐ 1 x 75 minute post-flight Yoga Flow
⤐ 3 x 120 minute morning Dynamic Vinyasa
⤐ 3 x 90 minute Gentle Flow and Yin
⤐ Optional Workshops e.g. Yoga Philosophy, Arm balances & Inversions, Alignment, Breathwork for stress
(Total: 11hrs45mins)
