FOOD, WINE & YOGA IN ITALY WITH YOGA INSTRUCTOR BETH WOLFE AND HOST MARY BETH GAIARIN

JULY 31 TO AUGUST 7, 2016

THE PROGRAM

What could be better than practicing yoga in the vine-covered landscape of Italy with an enthusiastic, experienced teacher, exploring the wine and food from this most prestigious wine region in the world, all the while dining al fresco on seasonal, fresh, healthy food paired with locally-made artisanal wines?

Immerse yourself into the beauty of one of the most prestigious wine regions — Piemonte.  This is a yoga workshop for the beginner to advanced and experienced students. This workshop offers the unique opportunity to practice yoga in breathtaking and diverse settings, including a 12th century hill town, the top of an ancient vineyard with fabulous views.  We will make excursions to neighboring villages and take advantage of the delights the region offers, with activities such as touring a winery established before the 17th century and steeped in the tradition of Barolo making.

You will be staying at a renovated Italian farmhouse or bed & breakfast in the village of Treiso, Piemonte. Days will start with a continental breakfast of coffee, tea, fresh brioche, pastries and fresh fruit at your hotel. Then we’ll take advantage of the morning light and comfortable temperatures for our yoga practice. Afternoons will be spent at wineries, markets, and other spectacular spots. Afternoons and mornings will be varied but time will always be allowed for quiet reflection and relaxation. Lunches and dinners are catered by local restaurants at the 200-year-old farmhouse at the top of the vineyard of Bricco Dei Tati, on the loggia so you can enjoy the view, dining al fresco if the weather allows.
