Origins, Rooted in the Body, Led by the Heart

An Ashtanga Yoga Retreat in Salento

Join us in the serene beauty of Salento for an 8-day immersion dedicated to presence, practice, and rediscovery. Together, we’ll explore the essence of Ashtanga Yoga? as both a grounding path in the body and an opening toward the heart.

Through this week-long intensive program, we’ll move through the Ashtanga Vinyasa system (Mysore Style and Led classes) and deepen our understanding of how the practice transforms both body and mind. Between daily practices, workshops, meditations, nourishing meals, and moments of stillness, this retreat offers space to reconnect: with yourself, with nature, and with what matters most.

Salento’s quiet landscapes and gentle rhythm invite a deep pause, where the roots of yoga can be felt and lived fully. My wish is that this immersion becomes a space to unravel old patterns, clear inner blockages, and rediscover the clarity and stability that lie within.

This is where the true power of Ashtanga resides: an embodied practice, and a healing space for all.
Practice after practice, may you find your essence again, rooted in the body, led by the heart.

What is Mysore Style?

The self-practice (known as Mysore Style) allows you to unfold through the Ashtanga series at the rhythm of your own breath. It is an opportunity to cultivate independence and confidence in your practice, one that is fully adapted to your body and your needs.

In a Mysore room, each practitioner moves through the sequence at their own pace, supported by the collective energy of the group and the attentive, compassionate guidance I’ll offer each day. Props and modifications are always welcome, ensuring a space of care, safety, and belonging for all
