"VINEYARDS AND VINYASA - A VIBRANT TUSCANY ADVENTURE

Vineyards and Vinyasa

A Vibrant Tuscany Adventure 

June 17th - 24th, 2026

I welcome you to join me for an 8 day, 7 night experience of a lifetime in the Chianti area of Tuscany Region.  

I have been dreaming of this retreat for the past 5 years, and it has manifested into reality, as I partner with Laura and Filippo, owners of a beautiful renovated Country Bed and Breakfast that sits in blissful nature. Owners since 2000, they lovingly restored their stone barn, home and created gardens amidst the stunning panoramic view of this Chianti homestead.  The homestead has been used for art and photography classes and workshops, yoga retreats and vacations. Laura personally decorated the country style interior of the property and its bedrooms. The property is also surrounded by large gardens with gorgeous plants and flowers.

This adventure is not your typical yoga retreat. We have put together all of my favorite highlights of my travels over the years, so we can explore our creativity, true Mediterranean food, a cooking class at a farm, pottery painting, painting class by a local artist, movement, hiking, shopping, and of course homemade Filippo's vino

For those interested, the Bed and Breakfast offers local wine, beers and spirits with an honor system in our community area.  Imagine enjoying some laughs in the evening over a glass of Chianti…

What’s included? 

• Itinerary as listed below
• Yoga, pottery painting class, wine tour and tasting, transfer to Florence for the day and back, painting lesson, pizza night, cooking class, transfers to and from Greve for daytrip
