In the morning you will have a mind-body practice and stress relief based on Yoga for the Mind. You will practice techniques that quickly re-balance your nervous system for the alleviation of both short term and long term stress while developing personal awareness of the body and the mind.
In the evening you will flow with vinyasa yoga practices, the gentle and dynamic yoga to help you release tension from your body, while building strength and flexibility.
In the meantime there will be swimming and sightseeing activities to nourish your mind and feed your heart.
Each day you will be exploring the wonderful Sicilian islands while sailing on a luxury sailing yacht which will be your home during the retreat.
You will practice yoga at sunset and sunrise on a variety of beaches in the Aeolian Islands. You will have a pleasure of trekking, climbing volcanoes (optional), swimming in the most remarkable places in south Italy.
