La Rosa, Taranto, Italy
July 19th - 25th 2025
La Rosa is a retreat center dedicated to creating a healthy, positive, and regenerating environment with exceptional energy and tranquil surroundings.
Their attention to detail and unique food philosophy to the attention for detail ensures an exceptional experience.
Each morning practice will consist of asana, pranayama, and meditation. Each class will explore a specific focus of awareness and skills to access aspects of ourselves that have little chance to surface in our regular routines and distracted lives. We will move and play with shifting perceptions of ourselves and our potential. The days are structured so there is plenty of time to enjoy visiting local towns or the beaches of the Adriatic and Ionian Seas, or simply retreat to the pool or beautiful living spaces. We are situated between the Adriatic and Ionian Seas and can enjoy day beach and town excursions. Evening practice will consist of a combination of stretching, restorative, and guided relaxation.
