Yoga Holidays in Abruzzo at Casa Mimosa

Our yoga holidays are going from strength to strength with 5 groups coming out last year.

The group were met at Pescara airport and taken to Casa Mimosa where they were shown to their rooms before having a long awaited swim followed by a gentle yoga session to iron out the crumples of traveling.

Drinks (all wine is included in the price) were served on the veranda, as the sun set over the Gran Sasso mountain range. They then drifted off to change for supper; the two resident hosts prepared a feast for them.

Supper on the veranda.

The program was set by each teacher who arranged, with the hosts, when and what would be prepared. The teachers who came did two, one and a half hour's sessions of yoga. One at 8am and the other at 6pm. The days were filled with silent walks, meditation, reading, swimming and relaxing by our 13.5 metre pool in the warm sunshine.

Our Yoga teacher - Stephanie Shanti

Steph has been practising yoga for 12 years and teaching since 2000. She trained at the International Sivananda Yoga Vedanta Centre in Montreal, Canada and has taught classes to a wide variety of clients including children, families, patients in rehabilitation, the elderly and those with special needs.

Yoga Retreats in Abruzzo

She has studied many forms of yoga including Sivananda, Integral, Iyengar and Astanga and is qualified in Thai Yoga, Swedish and Indian Head massage. Her classes focus strongly on the importance of breathing through the yoga poses to cleanse toxins from muscles and internal organs whilst maintaining good alignment and control to reduce the risk of injury and stress to the body.

Relaxation is integral to her approach both during the poses and at the end of the practice. The result is increased motivation and stamina, improved internal and external muscle tone and acceptance of the body as it is with an overwhelming sense of inner peace and strength.

The surrounding countryside lends itself beautifully to being at peace and harmony with the world. It's a chance to indulge yourself; reflect, relax, and find some inner peace.
