Slow Calabria Yoga Retreat
Amantea 2026
A return to the earth, the sea, and your true nature.
Slow Calabria Retreat is a piece of my soul. Amantea isn't just a beautiful location I picked on a map—it is my land, my roots, and my actual home.
I created this retreat to bring the magic and mindfulness I gathered across the globe back to the place that shaped me. In my classes, I combine fluid, creative sequences with a deep sense of grounding, helping you listen to your body and find mental calm.
I am opening the doors of my home to you. I won't just be your teacher; I'll be welcoming you into my world, sharing the secret spots only locals know, and helping you live at a human pace.
Come as a traveler, leave as family. Welcome home.
Welcome and grounding
Welcome to Calabria! Arrive at your own pace today; this first afternoon is entirely yours to unwind, settle into our beautiful space.
In the late afternoon, we will step onto our mats for a Guided Opening Ceremony. Together, we will weave a slow, restorative Yin Yoga practice with breathwork, creating a bridge between the body and mind, and welcoming the energy of the group. Afterward, we will gather under the Calabrian sky for our first shared dinner.
Please pack a white outfit for this opening night to honor our fresh start together.
Included: yoga sessions, dinner
Not included: anything extra
Flowing & chilling through the sound healing
Start your morning with an awakening Vinyasa practice that intertwines breath and strength, followed by a vibrant brunch.
The middle of the day is dedicated to the element of water. We'll spend our hours by the stunning Calabrian sea—swimming, resting, and embracing the slow pace of summer. After a lunch by the beach of your choice and a chill afternoon, we will gather back at our base to refresh and we will be off to discover the old town of Amantea, followed by a refreshing gelato!
We will end the day with a Sound healing session & dinner, leaving the night open for whatever you need: a vibrant evening out or a quiet night under the stars.
Included: yoga sessions & sound healing, brunch, dinner
Not included: lunch, anything extra
Meditation on the boat & sunset yoga by the beach
Start your morning with a yoga flow on the mat, followed by a nourishing brunch. Then, the ocean calls. We will spend our morning on a boat tour (if the sea conditions allow it), a short meditation by the sound of the Mediterranean sea, swimming and snorkeling through crystal-clear waters, embracing the absolute freedom of the sea.
After a deeply relaxing, chill afternoon, we will meet on the sand for a grounding Sunset Yoga practice. This golden hour session is designed to reflect on the balance and calm we've cultivated so far.
We will conclude this beautiful day with a dinner at a special location on the beach, letting the sea breeze accompany another night of shared laughter and deep connection.
Included: yoga sessions, sound healing, brunch, boat tour

Paradise Beach, Adventure & Our Closing Circle
Today, we rise early to catch the purest energy of the day and take a scenic ride down the coast to Zambrone. Our destination is the breathtaking Spiaggia del Paradiso del Sub, a hidden, wild jewel where we will hike down a scenic path to start our morning with a powerful meditation, soaking in the quiet morning stillness and the sound of the waves.
This day is all about complete disconnection and pure nature immersion. We'll enjoy a delicious packed lunch right on the white sand, with plenty of time to snorkel in the crystal-clear waters and relax. In the afternoon we will return back at our base in Amantea, we will step onto our mats one last time for our Closing Ceremony—a circle of gratitude to reflect on our journey. We will conclude our retreat with a magical final dinner cooked at our location, sharing our last evening under the stars.

Carrying the Magic Home
Our final morning together is all about ease and gratitude. Wake up to a gentle, slow-paced Morning Practice to integrate everything we've experienced, followed by a long, relaxed breakfast. Alternatively, you can simply lounge by the pool, soaking in the last moments of peace with the group.
Afterward, we will pack our bags, complete the check-out process, and share our final hugs. There is absolutely no rush today: everyone is free to depart at their preferred time, taking a piece of Calabria's magic and a heart full of new connections back home.
Included: yoga, breakfast
Not included: anything extra
