What Awaits You

Our retreat is held at Villa Monferrato, a charming estate that merges modern comfort with the serenity of Italian heritage. From its lush gardens to its private pool, this is a sanctuary designed to help you unwind completely.

Daily Flow & Highlights

Each day offers a balance of movement, relaxation and adventure. Here’s a taste of what you can expect:

• Morning Aerial Yoga: Begin each day up in the air, set against the panoramic views of Monferrato. Flow through asanas that open, strengthen and energize your body while embracing the feeling of weightlessness.

• Local Flavors & Gourmet Meals: Enjoy farm-to-table Italian cuisine crafted by our in-house local chef, made with seasonal ingredients. Our meals cater to a range of dietary preferences, keeping you nourished and energized throughout the retreat. All meals (plus wine with dinner) are included.

• Guided Excursions: Experience the best of Monferrato’s natural beauty and cultural richness! Wander through scenic vineyards, marvel at the historic churches, and stroll the charming streets of local villages. We’ve also planned excursions to regional highlights like:

  • Wine Tasting at the Villa: Explore the world-famous wine region with expert guided tastings

  • Castle Tours: Step into the past with a visit to Monferrato's storied castles, where you'll soak in views as grand as the history they hold

  • Horseback Riding: explore the glorious surrounding hills and vineyards by horseback

  • Tour of Turin: Discover the inspiring architecture and landscapes that have earned Monferrato its UNESCO World Heritage status and take in the magic of Turin (often called the “Paris of Italy” for its monuments and world-class museums.)

• Evening Wind Down: As the sun sets, relax with restorative yoga and meditation to help you unwind and prepare for restful nights under the Italian stars.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I get to the Villa?

Round trip transportation from the Milan international airport is included and shuttle times will be communicated at least several months prior to the retreat. If you plan on taking the provided transport, please plan to arrive in Milan no later than noon on September 22nd.

If you’re interested in exploring the area beyond the planned excursions, you’re welcome to rent a car in Milan and drive (about 90 minutes) to the Villa.

What is the food like? Will there be options for those with food restrictions?

Piedmont cuisine is known for its rich, earthy flavors, highlighting local ingredients like white truffles, game meats, and cheeses. Famous for dishes such as agnolotti pasta and braised beef in Barolo wine, it pairs perfectly with the region’s celebrated wines like Barolo and Barbaresco.

And absolutely! The chef is happy to accommodate any dietary needs such as gluten free, vegetarian/vegan and specific food allergies. We will reach out with a pre-retreat survey about a month in advance where you’ll be able to indicate any dietary restrictions or preferences.

I’d like to attend but I’m nervous I’m not advanced enough in my aerial yoga practice.

This experience is designed to meet you exactly where you are! Some people attending will be experienced aerial yogis and some will be brand new. We will all support each other’s growth, no matter which stage of journey we are on. There will be one or two “play” classes offered, but most will be appropriate for all levels of aerial yogis including lots of wonderful stretch-y, restorative options.

What if I don’t know anyone else attending the retreat?

Many of our retreat attendees register as individuals and are not traveling with a friend or partner, so you’ll be in good company. If you’re reserving a shared room, we will take care of matching you with another student traveling alone. One of the biggest benefits of the retreat experience is meeting new friends!

What is the cancellation policy?

Cancellations (for any reason, including Covid concerns) made more than 180 days before arrival are fully refundable. Cancellations made between 61 and 179 days are 50% refundable and cancellations made 60 days or less before arrival are not refundable. We STRONGLY recommend purchasing “cancel for any reason” trip insurance to protect your retreat investment.
