"Putting your trust in me to guide you on retreat is such an honour. I love leading these holidays because I see clients delve so deeply into their yoga practice, way beyond the asana (poses). With so much in common and yet such different needs, our community of health, warmth, laughter and tears begin".​

Accommodation

​"Stunning location with impeccably designed rooms, and even better hospitality. The B&B is within driving distance from so many towns worth visiting, but the property is so beautiful and relaxing that you probably won’t want to leave the pool! The host and everyone who works at Roccaseta will go out of their way to make you feel at home and make sure you get the most out of your Sicilian holiday. Delicious breakfast, too! 10/10 can’t wait to be back" Google Review Sept '23

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.

RoccaSeta Hotel will be providing delicious buffet breakfasts each morning that we can enjoy from their beautiful terrace overlooking the Mediterranean Sea.  They will also provide two dinners for us.

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 two dinners.

Sicily is well known for its tastes of paradise, and you can explore local restaurants and bistros in historic baroque towns, or seaside fishing villages on the waters front. You may even enjoy a local wine tasting experience.
