Inner Glow

All Level ✺ 16- 22 August 2026 ✺ Olea, Rieti, Italy

The height of summer invites us to slow down and soak in its golden warmth. Under the season of Leo — the sign of heart, radiance, courage and self-expression — nature reaches its fullest bloom, and so can we. August becomes an invitation to expand, reconnect with our inner light, and shine with ease.

This retreat offers a pause from daily rush, nestled among rolling hills, ancient olive trees, and the quiet beauty of the Italian countryside. If you’ve been carrying too much or moving too fast, consider this your call to rest — to return to yourself, rediscover your inner glow, and restore balance between energy and stillness.

Through mindful practice, rest, and connection, we’ll explore how to live from our centre, cultivating a steady radiance within and around us. Mornings will open with vibrant vinyasa; afternoons will soften into Yin, restorative yoga, and Yoga Nidra. Meditation and breathwork will guide you toward clarity and calm. Between sessions, there’s time to simply be — wander the olive groves, rest in the shade, sunbathe by the pool, write, dream, and watch the light shift across the landscape.

Come exactly as you are — a place of warmth, ease, and heartfelt connection awaits you.

Finding Fluidity

All Level ✺ 20- 25 February 2025 ✺ La Viñuela, Spain

As we approach the end of winter, the cosmos beckons us into a realm of dreams and intuition, a dance of intuitiveness and creativity, sensitivity and fluidity, wisdom and imaginations, surrender and ease. It’s the beginning of the astrological Pisces Season!

In this season there is a sense of trust that we are somehow carried – like water – exactly where we need to go, even if we don’t yet know where that is. Pisces season feels like a slow breath out. It’s where we can sink into the unknown. It’s where we ride the waves as they come. It is where we lean into trust and surrender to the vastness of the universe.

During our week together we will tap into these energies and weave movement practice to nourish the whole of you and connecting with the power of fluidity – the ability to adapt, flow, and embrace change gracefully to help you reconnect with your inner self and rediscover your natural state of balance. A week where every moment is a chance to rediscover your inner peace and explore the limitless potential within you and to let the healing powers of yoga and nature wash over you, leaving you feeling refreshed and rejuvenated.

Each morning, we’ll flow through a dynamic, purposeful and fluid vinyasa practice. There will be daily guided meditations and breathwork. Afternoon classes will have lots of restorative elements including yin yoga and yoga nidra working on releasing areas of deep-rooted tension and resistance. Throughout the week into the daily classes, we’ll also explore yogic philosophy and some astrology teachings and its application in everyday life for an even more mindful and magical experience.

It’s subtle, however we all can feel it. Yes, change is in the air! The green leaves are slowly turning to red, yellow, orange and gold. As the leaves fall and the days grow shorter and the air becomes cooler, this season invites us to embrace the shift between the dreamy libra season, an air element sign that deals with balance, harmony and justice with the intense and intuitive Scorpio season, a water signs that’s all about emotion, ability to let go and transformation.

One of the most powerful ways we can support, empower ourselves and harness these powerful autumn energies is by grounding into the rhythms of the moon, sun, stars and through the Zodiac. We are beings intimately in tune and influenced with the Earth we call home and creating rituals around the season helps us to live more authentically and in alignment with nature.

Vera uses the moon phases energies and together, we will honor the powerful celestial energies at play as a tool for slowing down and drawing inwards. When we begin to use these phases of the season as points to turn inward and reflect, we unlock an incredibly powerful tool to realign with ourselves and everything that surrounds us and we create shared moments that connect us as human beings.

This retreat will offer you a combination of strong dynamic vinyasa practice to ignite fire and warmth and a softer restorative practices such restorative, yin yoga and yoga nidra to invite a full release of body and mind. Besides the asana practice, you will be guided into pranayama, meditation, journal prompts, moon rituals and provided with time to connect to the peaceful natural surroundings and to simply be. This is an invitation to reset and rebalance your body, heart, and mind ready to make the most of Autumn season.

Illuminate

All Level ✺ 21-26 April 2024 ✺ La Viñuela, Spain

Spring is blooming in all colours, there are brighter days, the weather warming up and there is a sense of hope, renewal and rising energy. This week is an immersive way to step away from the rush of daily life, an opportunity to embrace this flourishing spring energy to reconnect body and mind in the most illuminating way to uncover and rediscover more about yourself.

We are all a brilliant and radiant source of light and love. And at different times, we all need support to brighten that light so we can emanate a steady soft light even in the darkest of nights. This retreat is a week of practicing and supporting what is light-giving to each of us, living from the centre of ourselves in this magical place of sunshine, mountains, and pure living.

We will work with both Yin and Yang energies and our week together will be illuminated with the energy of the Pink Moon, the Full moon of spring time. The Pink Moon signifies rebirth, renewal, growth and it serves as a reminder that life is a set of ups and downs, a cycle of hibernation and reawakening. It will be a time for inner reflection, a space for you to connect to your own light and allow new possibility seeds to be planted.

Each morning, we’ll flow through a dynamic & purposeful vinyasa practice. There will be daily guided meditations and breathwork. Afternoon classes will have lots of restorative elements including yin yoga and yoga Nidra working on releasing areas of deep-rooted tension and resistance. Throughout the week into the daily classes, we’ll also explore yogic philosophy and its application in everyday life for an even more mindful and magical experience.
