Past Retreats & Events

1 – 7 August 2026
YogApulia retreat center in Puglia – pool, practice room and seaside

Ashtanga Yoga Retreat – Puglia, Italy

We had an amazing week at YogApulia, a boutique retreat center in the gorgeous Puglia region of Southern Italy.

We practiced guided-self Ashtanga Yoga (Mysore style), did pranayama, chanting, and seated/walking meditation, and enjoyed workshops and evening classes shaped by the group. The retreat was open to all levels, with space for just 12 participants to ensure personalized support.

Delicious plant-based meals inspired by local traditions nourished and sustained our practice. In our free time, we relaxed by the pool and explored olive groves, beaches, markets, and nearby towns.

25 – 28 June 2026
Mecklenburg retreat – forest walk and practice space in the converted barn

Ashtanga Yoga Long Weekend in Mecklenburg

(arrive Thursday late afternoon – depart Sunday after Lunch)

This weekend retreat offered us a special opportunity to come together and delve deeply into ideas that enrich our practice, complemented by chanting, breath work, and meditation. There were morning Mysore sessions and workshops tailored to your interests.

We had plenty of time to connect in a relaxed setting while our host, Juli, whipped up her delish vegetarian/vegan eats. The converted farm building has comfy beds, plenty of space and a wood-burning sauna. A walk through the woods leads us to the Tollense Lake for a swim.
