Yoga all’Italiana
One Week of Yoga and Wellness in Cascina Montessino, Ottiglio (AL)
This yoga retreat offers you the grand opportunity to unwind, recharge and explore your roots far away from everyday rush. The Cascina Montessino and the daily yoga practice will open up a space for retreat, but at the same time you will enjoy shared yoga practice, meditations, nearby excursions and hikes that will bring you back in touch with your inner self as well as establish contact with other inspiring people.
The refreshing and also calming yoga
practice, the landscape of Monferrato – still undiscovered by mass tourism – and
the warm hospitality of the newly renovated Montessino
farmstead will make this retreat an
unforgettable experience.
A special yoga-programme (13 units) with sessions in the
morning and the evening, has been designed with you
in mind. The yoga classes focus on different topics every day and are suitable
for beginners as well as advanced practitioners. Individual
needs have priority (small group, limited number of participants).
The
morning yoga practice is dynamic and flowing. In the evening, we will
concentrate on letting go and relax with extended restorative exercises. Pranayama (breathing exercises), deep
relaxation (Yoga Nidra) and meditation top off the evening
practice.
One afternoon is
“free-of-yoga” and offers the chance for half-day trips or just to hang loose.
Personal lessons and massage are available upon
consultation.
The newly renovated rooms of the Montessino Farmstead
(which has
preserved its historic structure), the amazing panoramic view and the fantastic
vista of Monferrat (a UNESCO world heritage site), the saltwater-pool, the
outdoor Jacuzzi, the little spa with massage room and sauna, the ZEN Island in
the centre of the hillside with its sweeping views, and the
delightful garden will transform your stay into a holistic and healing
experience. Every room has a private bath, some have their own balcony and are
equipped with air conditioning, Wi-Fi, heating and study
desk.
We will
indulge in the fresh and rich catering, which will also delight non-vegetarians: a savory brunch in the morning after practice with
homemade breads, jams and fruit from the garden or the area. For dinner we will
enjoy the tradition of Italian and Monferrat cuisine in-house (water and red wine included) or will be
taken to carefully chosen restaurants in the area for a
three-course-menu (water included) on five evenings.
