SUMMER GLOW RETREAT, PUGLIA ITALY
31 JULY - 7 AUGUST, 2026
Reconnect. Refresh. Reawaken.
Leave behind the ordinary and step into the timeless charm of a 16th‑century masseria, fully restored to eco‑chic perfection. Set among sun‑bleached olive groves in Puglia, this sanctuary is designed for pure rejuvenation.
Why join?
-
• A Sacred Pause •
Step out of the noise and into presence. This is time just for you, where nothing needs to be achieved or performed — only felt, lived, and received.
-
• Come home to your Body •
Daily movement, stillness, and embodied practices to help you soften the noise, reconnect with your rhythms, and remember how it feels to be fully in your body — alive, aware, and at ease.
-
• Connection, nourishment, renewal •
From the delicious homemade meals made with local produce, to the restful afternoons under the Apulian sun. You’ll be nurtured through grounding practices, clean food, and the quiet beauty of slow living
Nourishing Yoga
Open to all ages and levels of fitness and experience. Every session will have attention to detail (alignment), awareness of breath (pranayama), openness to grace (attitude) and intelligent sequencing (vinyasa krama). The morning yoga classes will be more upbeat and energizing, and the afternoon classes more relaxed.
All sessions will be adapted to the group and modifications of the poses will be offered to cater for all participants and to ensure that everyone is receiving the benefits of the practice and individual attention.
What’s included
8 days / 7 nights in a beautifully restored 16th-century masseria, surrounded by olive groves and southern Italian charm
Daily morning and afternoon yoga sessions, including Vinyasa Krama, alignment-based practice, pranayama, meditation, and restorative elements
Fresh, homemade meals made with locally sourced ingredients, breakfast/brunch, and dinner (lots of vegetarian options, some days we will have fish and full of flavour).Food at La Rosa is really the highlight of the retreat.
Free time each day to rest, swim, read, explore the countryside, or simply do nothing at all
Opening and closing circles, held with care and intention to help you land and integrate your experience

Meet Margherita
My journey with yoga began over 30 years ago in a tiny studio in Northern Italy. I remember lying in Śavāsana and feeling, for the first time, a sense of deep connection, a quiet coming home to myself. That moment sparked a lifelong devotion to the path of yoga and, soon after, Ayurveda.
Over the years, I’ve come to understand these sister sciences not just as practices, but as ways of being, guiding me through life’s many seasons with more steadiness, clarity, and trust.
I’ve spent the past two decades teaching yoga across London and beyond, in studios, on retreats, and now, increasingly online, blending tradition with real-life rhythm. I’ve trained in Anusara, Rasa Yoga and Tantric Hatha, and apprenticed with Yogarupa Rod Stryker since 2003.
But it was Ayurveda that helped me integrate everything. As a certified Yoga Health Coach, I work with the wisdom of daily rhythm (dinacharya), seasonal living, and habit evolution to support sustainable transformation, the kind that actually sticks.
I’m here to serve and support you on your path of self-discovery through yoga, nourishment, self-inquiry, and small, meaningful shifts that ripple outward. I believe healing doesn’t have to be complicated and that your body already knows the way back to balance.
You are already radiant. My role is simply to help you remember.
