Italy Hiking & Yoga Retreat August 2026
Hiking & Yoga Retreat: join Eliza for 4 days of being immersed in nature & the practice of yoga
Take a step back from the business of life and dive deep into your practice, surrounded by the mountains of Piemonte.
This retreat combines the dynamic practice of breath-led, conscious Vinyasa Yoga with the deeply soothing nurturance of Restorative Yoga and Yoga Nidra.
