Yoga in Tuscany

Wendy Fraser, Yoga Teacher

Wendy offers an Iyengar style class which includes attention to the alignment in a pose, while bringing in her more meditative, intuitive approach. With regular guided practise yoga can give you a general feeling of physical health and mental well-being. Simple attention to the breath and breathing exercises, along with concentration and focus in the postures, help to manage stress and relieve tension. It can help to develop a deeper knowledge of your Self which can contribute to greater self-confidence. After yoga classes with Wendy students have said they ‘feel uplifted’, ‘have improved posture‘, ‘sleep better’, ‘good muscle tone development’, feel more positive and re

laxed. All this in a stunning mountain setting in Tuscany which can only add to the whole experience.

There is also great hiking in the Apuane Alps which surround the villa, indeed some walks can be done from the doorstep. If you wish to opt out of the yoga sessions or indeed bring a partner who prefers to do some walking then this can easily be arranged. The price for those not participating in the Yoga will be £520. Guided walking can be arranged for a small fee, please enquire for details.
