About the retreat
This wonderful week long yoga retreat with Pixie Lillas will be taking place once again in Dolcedo, Liguria, Italy. Those new to the retreat are in for a treat. Unlike a yoga holiday, a retreat offers the opportunity to absorb oneself in the study of asana and pranayama without the obstacles of everyday concerns and commitments. Participants are encouraged to approach the week from the perspective of immersion and reflection.
Pixie has over 40 years of practice and teaching experience in Iyengar yoga. She has run her own studio in Sydney since 1980 and regularly conducts teacher training and teacher development courses, workshops and regular classes locally and internationally.
Students who attend the retreat in Dolcedo will have the opportunity to explore the effects of pranayama once or twice a day and to have ongoing sequential asana sessions which allow for the development of particular yoga techniques and concepts tailored to the group.
Location: a quiet Italian village
Dolcedo is a lovely small medieval village within easy walking distance from the retreat centre, which is an old converted mill called Molino Pincion. The nearest city is Imperia, which is located by the sea and approximately 15 minutes away by taxi. The nearest airports are Nice and Genoa. Detailed travel information will be supplied after booking.
You will have your own room in a shared apartment (with shared kitchen and bathroom facilities). If you are coming with a friend or partner that you are happy to share a room with, you can indicate that preference at the time of booking and a small discount will be available for anyone sharing a room.
