Tuscany Yoga Retreat 2026
Le Pianore
16th-21st May 2026
Yoga in Tuscany
A five night retreat to move, stretch, rest and restore in beautiful Tuscany.
Yoga: two daily classes - a flowing breath led morning class to greet the day and a restorative class in the evening to treat our bodies kindly, encouraging deep rest.
Delicious Italian food, cooked and largely grown at Le Pianore farmstead, with its beautifully restored villas and studio spaces.
Space to unwind and relax, pools to swim in, the best company to talk to over meals or to sit with looking out over the stunning views.
Visits to ancient Roman thermal baths and to medieval mountain top villages.

There will be two yoga classes each day. The morning class at around 8am will stretch us, move our bodies, tune us into our breath, finding a meditative flowing sequence.
We’ll meet again in the afternoon for restorative yoga, a soft, slow practice using bolsters and blankets to help soothe the nervous system and find deep rest.
There will be optional meditation first thing, a chance to sit and breathe in the morning, and an evening yoga Nidra after our day trip to help body and mind to relax.
The classes will be suitable for all levels and yoga experience.
There will be time to unwind: time to chat or read or write or dream, to take a dip in the natural freshwater pond or relax by the pool.
Email me to reserve your space and I’ll send you bank details for your £150 non refundable deposit to secure your spot.
Let me know which room you would like. Planning to share with a friend? Let me know who.
