Join us for an uplifting and nourishing yoga holiday in southern Sicily with Catie & Sylvia!
We’re delighted to welcome you to a beautiful organic, family-run agriturismo — an ancient country house from the late nineteenth century, surrounded by olive, citrus, almond, and carob trees, just a few kilometres from the blue Ionian Sea.
The Venue
Perched on a hill overlooking the countryside and sea, our venue offers the perfect balance of nature, relaxation, and exploration. You’ll be immersed in peaceful Sicilian landscapes with easy access to nearby UNESCO heritage towns.
Wander through the herb gardens — thyme, rosemary, oregano and more — or find a quiet spot to meditate beneath the carob trees or a sky full of stars.
Massage treatments are also available on-site.
Beaches & Nature
Our location offers wonderful coastal adventures only a short drive away:
Spiaggia di Calamosche (25 mins) – often described as one of southern Sicily’s favourite beaches. It’s a crystal-clear, child-friendly bay protected by rocks on both sides, with soft golden sand and calm waters ideal for swimming or relaxing.
Vendicari Nature Reserve (15 mins) – a stunning coastal reserve with walking trails, pristine beaches, and excellent birdwatching. Spot flamingos, shrikes, lapwings, and reed warblers, explore ancient ruins, and enjoy beautiful snorkeling in the “beautifully clear water.” March is the perfect season to visit before the summer heat arrives.
Santa Maria del Focallo (30 mins) – a great time of year for surfing and windsurfing. In summer, the sea becomes calm — perfect for SUP paddleboarding.
Here, we can dip our feet — or our whole selves — in the Ionian Sea and soak up the elements of this magical coastline.
Yoga Spaces
SHALA ZEN – An open-air wooden terrace set amidst a carob grove, overlooking both the Ionian and Mediterranean Seas.
SHALA OM – A warm, indoor studio with parquet floors inside the ancient farmhouse, ideal for practice when it’s windy or hot.
All props — mats, blocks, belts, bolsters, and pillows — are provided.
Classes
Each day will include general yoga sessions with varying focuses, alongside pranayama, meditation, and themed group requests such as handbalancing, backbends, acro, yin, restorative, and yoga nidra.
Everyone will find a comfortable entry point for each practice and space to grow their abilities.
The classes are designed to develop the teacher within, deepening your understanding of movement, awareness, and body intelligence — whether or not you teach yoga yourself.
Hosts & Facilitators
