Yoga with Suzanne Lynch

Italy is a country of incredible beauty and we’ll be staying in one of its most gorgeous regions. On this trip we will explore medieval hilltop towns, sun-drenched vineyards, Renaissance art and architecture, and stunning landscapes.

We’ll support your body, mind, and heart, with optional morning yoga classes as well as optional art and photography sessions in the late afternoon. No prior experience necessary for either of these activities.

After two nights in the middle of bustling Florence we will travel to our home-base for the trip, Spannocchia, a magical estate with eight centuries of history. There’s a castle, terraced gardens, orchards, and vineyards on this working organic farm. And of course, the views are superb. Our excursions will take us to the volcanic hot springs in this region, a wine tasting in beautiful Brunello country at Podere il Ripi, and into the the UNESCO World Heritage site within the stunningly beautiful region of Val d’Orcia.

As visitors here we’ll enjoy one of the most scenic, tranquil spots on earth, and have the opportunity to experience daily life on a historic working farm, surrounded by beauty and immersed in la dolce vita.
