Yoga Garden SF in Italy!

italyThe Mediterranean yoga retreat, led by Gabby Yates and Marisa Toriggino was auspiciously kicked off by the summer solstice and then graced by the intensity of the super moon. Yogis from the Yoga Garden and from all over the globe awoke each morning for an invigorating yoga practice while the sun was rising over Mount Epomeo. During the day yogis bathed in the natural thermals baths, toured the island or swam at the beach.  When the heat of the southern Italian sun subsided, they gathered again for an early evening yoga practice that included cooling pranayama, partner postures and inversions.  After the evening practice yogis marveled at the sun setting behind the sea that ignited the sky with fiery colors. Dinner was eaten on the terrace with the glow of the yoga practice and the setting sun still illuminating their faces.  Friendships were made, spirits lightened and minds softened – truly the essence of retreat!
