we are fortunate to have exclusive use of the stunning Ocean Villa, right on the coast at Marina di Andranoin, at a massively reduced rate. fortunately the owner of this historic villa is looking to bring the yoga vibe to this marvellous space and we will be the first group to make that happen. with stylish ensuite accommodation and a beautiful garden with swimming pool overlooking the Mediterranean Sea we will be seriously spoilt! we are so pleased to be able to offer a luxury experience at budget prices that people like us can afford!

Debbie is your yoga teacher. a yoga teacher and a massage therapist for over 14 years, Debbie believes that yoga is so much more than exercise. it is a path to union. we will work to connect to our breath and our bodies. by using yoga as a moving meditation we will calm the mind so that our connection to the experience of living is as crystal clear as the sea waters of the peninsular. by practising yoga together we will connect as a group to feel the strength and warmth of the yoga community
Carlo is one of Debbie's yoga students. He was born and grew up in the beautiful Salento peninsular, sometimes described as the heel of the boot of Italy. it is his enthusiasm for sharing the delights of his area with others that inspired this yoga holiday. he looks forward to sharing with you some of the special local landmarks. this includes the Baroque City of Lecce, the sandy beaches of the peninsular and the natural sea rock pools and caves of the coastline
yoga: we will have a daily morning practice together and three afternoon sessions on the outdoor patio of the villa
our morning Hatha Flow class will be a moving meditation suitable for all levels. carefully choreographed so postures follow each other fluidly, each session will have some repetition so you build familiarity with the postures and practices, and some differences so we enjoy the diverse world of yoga. we will also have three afternoon sessions which will be exploratory and playful including partner yoga, learning Thai yoga massage, pranayama, chanting, meditation and yoga nidra deep relaxation
