Mystic travel

Join us in this very special vacation where we will not only practice yoga daily twice at day but we also explore some fascinating and mystic ancient sites in Italy.

During the history Italy has always been a melting pot of cultures and traditions, some of them coming from the ancient Greeks and Romans, others coming from the Celtic tribes that used to live in the north of the country, others again belonging to the gnostic/esoteric knowledge of the early Christians.

All this ancient philosophical-spiritual knowledge is still there hidden in the architecture of some churches, in the statues, in the monuments.

In this vacation we will spend one day in Venice visiting the most fascinating and mysterious sides of the town (the Magdalen Church with its templar symbols, the Cathedral of San Marco, the ancient Jews ghetto with its cabalistic atmosphere), then we will go to a beautiful yoga-retreat center in Pescantina, between Verona and the Lake Garda, where we will stay 2 days recharging body and mind with sessions of yoga and meditation twice at day, and with organic, vegetarian meals prepared according to the ayurvedic tradition. After that we will go to Brixen, in the northern part of Italy, where we will spend 2 days visiting another fascinating medieval cathedral, full of interesting symbols somehow similar to those of the ancient yoga tradition. And we will finish our vacation with some relaxing time in one of the most beautiful spa in Europe, the Acquarena, with its saunas, swimming-pools, tepidarium and turkish baths.
