Yoga retreat – Umbria May 20-27, 2022

This is your journey. We will give you the tools you need to explore your mind & body in a nurturing environment – how you choose to apply those tools is completely your choice.
 
You can commit more intensively to yoga, participate in meditative walks in the woods, or focus on journaling to record your experience. There are many paths to a higher self-awareness.
 
To help you unplug from the outside world, the farmhouse has no phones or televisions (WiFi can be accessed if you need to get in touch with your loved ones once a day). By disconnecting from the chaos of modern life, you can better immerse yourself in the beauty of the Italian hillsides & reconnect with your inner conscious.

Your teacher:

Ilaria Perni began practicing yoga at an early age. She initially trained at the Joytinat Yoga Centre in Genoa under Swami Joythimayananda from Tamil, South India, then continued her studies with a diploma from the Yoga Satyananda Ashram School in Italy. She continued her education with Gitananda Ashram at the Italian Hindu Union near Savona, before going on to study Ayurveda, traditional Ayurvedic massage and Pancha Karma. She received a diploma as an Ayurvedic Massage Professional from the Joytinat Yoga Centre, and from the Institute of Ayurvedic Medicine in Florence, training under Dr Bhagwan Dash and Dr Lalitesh Kashyap from New Delhi, India. Between teaching, she currently studies at the Banaras Hindu University, Varanasi, India. She has taught yoga since 1996 and practiced Ayurvedic massage since 1998. She’s managed the Kashi Kriya Yoga Centre since 2007 and continues to manage hotel and resort spas since 2009. She’s a professional trainer for yoga teachers and massage therapists around the world and also works as a private instructor for notable clients. Her greatest blessing has been to encounter her Guru Prakash Shankar Vyas (Guruji), Kriya Yoga Master, and begin her own spiritual journey under his guidance.
