RE-AWAKEN
SPRING YOGA RETREAT IN SICILY
24 APRIL – 1 MAY 2027
A sun-soaked, soul-nourishing escape to the south-eastern corner of Sicily.
This retreat is an invitation to slow down, reconnect with your body and breath, and move gently with the rhythm of summer. Expect deeply held yoga practices, beautiful food, open skies, and time to truly exhale.

A Rhythm to Return to
Each day begins with a dynamic, alignment-based practice to awaken the body and breath. Afternoons are yours to enjoy. Rest by the pool, explore the surrounding countryside, or dive into a good book.
Take a scenic drive to San Lorenzo for its powder-soft white sand, or head to Vendicari Nature Reserve to spot flamingos in their natural wetland habitat.
Evening sessions are gentle, restorative, and grounding, helping you unwind into rest.
Mid-week, for those who wish, will take a boat trip along the coast, time to swim, snorkel and soak up the beauty of the sea, equipment provided.

The retreat venue is around 75 minutes by car from Catania. We recommend hiring a car - especially if you’d like to explore the region during your stay. Sharing a hire car with other guests can be a great option, but airport transfers can also be arranged if you prefer not to drive.

Why not make a longer trip of it? Sicily is full of beauty. You might choose to visit Ortigia (a romantic peninsula near Syracuse), Noto (a UNESCO Baroque town), Taormina (a chic hilltop town with sea views), or even hike Mount Etna, Europe’s highest active volcano.
