Forest Yoga and Therapy Retreat
The importance of the contact with nature is the is necessary and vital for inner and outer regeneration.
During this tour (see our calendar for proposed dates) you will find yourself on the sacred mountain of the Etruscans, Monte Amiata, home to the largest beech forest in Europe. We will spend 2 days immersed in a place of peace, dedicating the self to practices of wellbeing, such as yoga in the garden, slow walks in the woods with a “coach", where nature is the protagonist, and the silence its music. At sunset you’ll discover the spiritual mountain called Monte Labro. Your accommodation is in a Tuscan farmhouse surrounded by stately chestnut groves of Castel del Piano, with astonishing views over the Val d’Orcia. An ideal space to relax, rest and concentrate on movement and meditation, for those who see the essentiality, calm and serenity as the keys to rediscovering inner peace. All the ingredients used in the preparation of all meals come from of the generosity of the surrounding land.
Fiorella will guide you in this weekend of wellness: 
I am 55 years old and have been teaching wellness for 31 years. At 17, I encountered Yoga: my first love. For 10 years I felt I could share my experience through HATHA YOGA. In the Asanas each person understands what at that moment is most necessary for them. The phrase I love the most: "Yoga is achieved through Yoga". It is the practice that realises the path.
During your stay, as part of our shared practice, walks will be offered. It will be my honour, during our practice, to lead you through some simple exercises that will help make your steps more fluid.

Monte Amiata has remained for millennia a territory with its own autonomous geological, historical and landscape advantages. Its luxuriant beech woods, the largest in Europe, the boulders of unusual form, the fresh flowing springs, its mineral mines (now a museum), and its challenging mountain agriculture have given those who live on the slopes of the mountain a proud awareness of biodiversity. The various cycles of history and art have made their marks on Monte Amiata over the centuries. But neither the Etruscans, the Romans, the Lombards, nor the historic Republics of Siena and Florence, have ever managed to alter the spirit, character and magic of the Amiata, which has retained its symbiotic relationship between nature and modern times.

Since the time of the Etruscans, Monte Labro has been considered the Sacred Mountain. In more recent times, Davide Lazzaretti, known as the Christ of the Amiata, chose it as the seat of his religious activity. The landscape of Monte Labro is dominated by large open spaces, scrubby countryside and pastureland. At the top you’ll discover the hermitage and the Giurisdavidica tower and the cave with an altar inside. Climbing the tower you can fill your soul with an immense 360 degree view, and clean, fresh air that benefits the lungs.
