Back 
TO Basics

I've chosen Monestevole for the third time now, as my intention with this retreat is to get back to basics AND this place so delivers on that! 

Back to the basics of movement and breath within a challenging and relaxing yoga practice. Back to the basics of clean living, with good food and wine that is locally sourced and SO exceptionally Italian! Back to the basics of nature, on a farm, under blue skies, among loads of greenery, hills to trek on and open air to breathe. Back to the basics of joyful connection, as you commune with likeminded people (sangha) where you can share stories, laugh, rest up, relax and let go!

Ciao for now,
​Simonee

A Typical 
DAY

RISE UP
Wake up to silent mornings! Reflect in peace with your coffee or tea before going to the practice room for a guided meditation and a relaxing yoga practice.
BREAKFAST
Enjoy healthy, homemade options of  locally sourced food and beverage alongside your sangha that'll energize you for your day. The fresh ginger/watermelon juice is not to be missed!
FREE TIME
There's so much to do or so much not to do at Monestevole. Explore the grounds with others or hang solo. Feed the animals, help on the farm, walk, hike, run or be still! Contemplate and write in your journal or relax in a hammock as you read. 
MONESTEVOLE LUNCH
​A highlight for sure, as lunch is a big meal at Monestevole! Retreaters choose from a  big spread and eat alongside the farmers who work the Monestevole farm. Learn some Italian! Vino is always available.
AFTERNOONS
Make yourself at home! Visit the animals, hang by the pool, wander or join in on one of the planned activities!  Book something special for yourself: private yoga OR a massage. It's your adventure! 
AFTERNOON YOGA
Late afternoon asana caps off the day. A challenging and fun yoga practice sometimes set to music, perhaps with a dose of yin to set you up for a cosy evening!
MONESTEVOLE DINNER
Help out in the kitchen or simply hang back and watch the magic happen! Dinner and vino with fellow yogis. 
EVENING FREE TIME
Linger after dinner over a glass of vino. Commune with like-minded peeps. Yoga means to yoke and bind - interpreted as union. Bonfires, fuze ball, board games and cards. Perfetto!
