Welcome to Venice!
Join us on this unique journey, where yoga practice merges with the magic of Venice, and let yourself be transported by the harmony of body, mind and spirit in one of the most enchanting places in the world.
We will start our day with a deep practice of Vinyasa yoga, guided by Margherita who will lead you on an inner journey in search of balance and serenity. Through breath and movement, we will learn to connect with our inner self, letting the stillness of the lagoon inspire us. Recharge yourself with new energy!
Margherita will guide you through yoga practices, breathing exercises and meditation, but not only. We will experience other somatic practices, including pilates and free movement, and we will have wonderful experiences and rituals in the open air in the city where all the elements flow, first of all water. Together we will share moments of joy and lightness. From the dinners prepared for us by Tocia! or in the traditional Venetian bacari, every moment will be an opportunity to smile, slow down everyday life and enjoy the company of others or relaxation.

Yoga style

Useful info
-
Let's face it: Venice is full of hotels and rooms for rent. I recommend the Combo, the wonderful former Crociferi Jesuit monastery. It's very close to where we'll be doing the practice. Book just the overnight stay!
-
In Italy, food is important :)
The first evening, dinner will be in the house where we will do yoga practices. The Venetian research cooking project Tocia! will cook for us. Marco and the Tocia! staff will also take care of preparing all the post-practice brunches.
For the other evenings, one evening will be dedicated to visiting a classic Venetian bacaro for spritz and ritual cicchetti, one evening we will be at the lido, for the other evenings dinners will be organized based on everyone's wishes.
