Corsica Retreat
Who wants to join me and an amazing group of students for a week-long retreat of movement, meditation, culture, history, and nature in Corsica!? Our home for the week will be Domaine Cipiniello, a modern setting surrounded by wild nature, overlooking the Gulf of Valinco, in South Corsica.
Domaine Cipiniello and the nature that surrounds it are the essence of stillness and seclusion, making it a perfect place for self study, inner reflection, and deep relaxation.
Between our yoga and meditation classes we will spend time exploring the region.
On some days we will have two daily classes: early flow in the morning and a more gentle and restorative practice in the evening including breathwork and meditation. On other days we will have a longer class in the morning that combines flow, as well as restoration, and meditation which will allow enough time for exploring nearby towns, hikes, and beaches in the afternoon and early evening.
Each day will have a different theme and focus. In some of our classes we will explore and practice writing and journaling as an additional tool for cultivating ease, focus and mental clarity.
We will practice inside the indoor studio as well as outside on the deck by the pool!
