ASHTANGA VINYASA YOGA RETREAT in UMBRIA

 

ashtanga vinyasa yoga with Carla Ricci

special guest Sonia Brozzetti, life alignment expert

from 3 to 8 July 2016, Umbria (Italy)

at the holistic retreat center “LE TORRACCE”
www.torracce.com

 

Seize an opportunity to practise ashtanga vinyasa yoga reviving the ability to attentively listen to our body’s “voice” talking to us through sensations and emotions.

Life alignment is a good support for yoga and helps speeding up the process to free ourselves from the psychical and energy blocks – often caused by past traumas, repressed emotions, stress and lifestyle or by physical injuries encoded in our cellular memory. This sweet but profound process leads to a greater self-understanding,self-awareness and well-being.

In such an especial place as Le Torracce, surrounded by the peaceful and beautiful Umbrian hills, it will be easy to enter into harmony with your own inner self and with others.

The retreat is both for beginners and those who have already been practising ashtanga vinyasa yoga for some time (first and second series). Classes will be guided – or not (Mysore style), according to the participants.
In the mornings practise ashtanga vinyasa yoga in its traditional form.
Afternoons will be dedicated to a better understanding of alignment and the correct way of entering and exiting some asana thorough simple energetic and anatomic principles. These will also help us to live the practice with joy, avoiding hurting ourselves.
There then will be classes of pranayama (breathing technique) to let ourselves feed from the prana vital energy and freeing our minds from tension and stress.
This experience will be enriched by meditation, mantras and readings of yoga philosophy.
During your free time, you’ll have the opportunity to enjoy our friend and expert Sonia Brozzetti’s life alignment treatments. She will also offer a group experiential presentation of this marvellous healing technique.
The holistic retreat center Le Torracce offers also shiatsu treatments.
For both life alignment and shiatsu treatments’ costs and booking, please refer to Le Torracce info@torracce.com
Yoga and life alignment classes will be guided both in Italian and English.
Wednesday after practising yoga, we’ll have the chance to visit Assisi, Eremo delle Carceri and Mount Subasio – the places where St. Francis lived.

We suggest you bring your own yoga mat.
