Reawakening Tradition: An Italian Yoga Vacation with Suzie Hurley
The Adventure Continues: Food, Wine, Yoga and Beauty!
October 14-22, 2019
We return once again to offer another magical all inclusive eight-day yoga experience in the Italian countryside of Umbria. Continuing our tradition from the incredible experience we had in 2017, this is much more than a Yoga Retreat or an Italian Vacation. We will not only be deeply supported in our yoga practice, but we will immerse ourselves in local culture, food, wine, and history of the sacred hills of Umbria, with many new surprises and places to explore!
From the moment you are picked up at the train station in the nearby medieval town of Spoleto, you will be taken back in time, and pampered with all the generosity of the Italian provinces. The resort where we will hold the retreat is a renovated 14th century olive oil mill and village, nestled under the watchful eye of an 11th century castle. Each of our yoga spaces and rooms are one of a kind. Service and food are all offered in the tradition of Umbrian natural “slow food.” The local olive oil and wines are part of that tradition.
We will enjoy guided excursions to several nearby sites - an ancient sacred forest, a monastery, the basilica of Saint Francis in Assisi, a wine and olive oil tasting dinner and a trip to the beautiful medieval city of Perugia as well as a hike to the ancient frescoed Hermitage of Saint Mary of Jacob, and a full day in the medieval city of Spoleto. With daily yoga practices, exquisite meals and luxurious accommodations, gratitude will easily arise in our hearts. There will also be plenty of time for shopping and for hiking in the beautiful olive groves surrounding the resort. For those of you joining us again, there will be lots of new adventures and amazing things to see and learn!
