THE VENUE
Our group’s private Italian Villa for the week is located in the undiscovered jewel of a town called Massa Lubrense. Massa Lubrense is at the tip of the Sorrento Peninsula and occupies one of the most evocative geographical locations in Italy. Unfortunately, many visitors to the area bypass this beautiful stretch of cape and head straight for the famous Amalfi Coast without knowing about the spectacular views, villages and harbours that occupy this stretch of the coast. Staying in Massa Lubrense, as opposed to in the town of Sorrento, is a great option for those looking to be close to the action, but not right in it. This part of the coast is much more peaceful than Sorrento, but still allows easy access to the town and to many of the great day tours of the Amalfi Coast that depart daily. From Sant'Agata's panoramic views and Michelin-starred restaurants, to the unique Punta Campanella marine reserve, this is the place to get off the beaten track. There are several networks of trails which wind their way through olive and citrus groves across 30 hamlets, winding up to panoramic views of the Gulfs of Naples and Salerno, and back down to picturesque fishing villages.
Yoga
With a couple exceptions due to excursions or other activities, you can expect at least two 75-90 minute yoga classes per day. One will be a Power Yoga class. This will be a dynamic and energetic class and will require a basic knowledge of the physical postures... however, plenty of modifications will be given and there is ALWAYS room to listen to your own body and take it at your own pace. The other practice will be gentle and more restorative -- ranging from Yin to Restore to Soft Flow. Meditation will be held each morning for about 30 minutes.

Katie Schiffgen
Katie has been practicing yoga for over fifteen years and teaching since 2013. Her classes focus on breath, alignment, and strength as well as functional mobility. Her greatest hope in teaching is that she will inspire people to get to know themselves on a deeper level… to ask more questions, be more curious, pay more attention, and connect with that place deep inside of them that is their true essence.
Katie has helped facilitate retreats in Costa Rica, Tulum, Colombia, Sayulita, Bali, and Croatia.
