Ancient medieval towns, lush fields of gold, and majestic olive painted landscapes combine with hiking, yoga, and wellbeing to achieve true balance on this unmissable journey into the heart of Renaissance Italy. The ethos of this trip and our general philosiphy is to offer pure, unique journeys.
The focus of the yoga practice will be to focus the 7 Chakras in our body; Root (Muladhara), Sacral (Svadhisthana), Solar Plexus (Manipura), Heart (Anahata), Throat (Vissudha), Third Eye (Ajña), Crown (Sahasrara), unlocking the energy flow through our body ‘Yoga is the spiritual language through which we poetically dance with the divine’ ref. Judith Anodea.
One of the amazing selling points is the incredible Villa where we stay on the outskirts the Etruscan town of Volterra, extensive gardens and wonderful swimming pool. Many of the trails are directly from the grounds, with one of the highlights being hiking to the top of Monte Voltraio for either sunrise or sunset.
