Women in Transition Retreat

Join us in beautiful Tuscany

Imagine waking up in a villa overlooking a stunning countryside of Chianti. Have you reached a crossroad in your life and need a slower pace that allows you to reflect and connect with your true inner self to be ready for the next steps? Join Aishani Yoga Retreat with Shaktiprem into this journey amidst gentle rolling hills covered in vineyards and olive groves and immerse yourself in ancient yoga and meditation practices that allow you to connect with new horizons.

In life we come to many crossroads, where we can choose how to move forward. First at a crossroad we quite often come to a stop which makes us stress or fear the unknown in front of us; the road is not straight ahead of us anymore, we are out of the flow.
These times of change are really times of opportunities to create something new. Is it the loss of a job, suddenly “the empty nest”, menopause, the loss of a loved one, starting a new relationship or ending one - every one of these changes ask us to reflect, find stillness and connect with oneself, gathering the courage that’s needed to make the next steps.

Looking to regain your inner strength? Looking to center and find grounding?

A well-balanced combination of Yoga, detox, healthy scrumptious food, nature and ancient culture awaits you. Along with 3 daily yoga sessions and amazing foods you will also have the chance to experience close up nature at its best. Villa La Cappella is close to Montespertoli, sitting atop a gentle hilltop in Chianti, just 20km from Florence and 30km from San Gimignano.

In your free time you can choose different activities (not inclusive and depending on availability) – exploring the area on foot or horseback, a cooking class with a local Chef, a trip to San Gimignano or an indulgent healing massage. You can also choose to stay in the villa garden or the village; or you use your time in between sessions to reflect, read, just be and relax. These are just options for you.

About the Location

The villa is situated outside of Montespertoli on top of a hill with magnificent views overlooking forests, vineyards, olive groves and mountains in the distance. Being in the heart of Chianti and the heart of Tuscany makes it the perfect base to explore the region. A little more than 25km from Florence, 50km from Siena and 60km from Pisa, a scenario of nature, history, museums and castles opens up, introducing a true and genuine environment, far from the usual tourist destinations.

About the Food

Our retreat menu is vegetarian with delicious healthy meals based on what is in season and to help us detox while being truly nourishing. Food is organic where possible and sourced from local producers. There will be no alcohol during the week, though you are free to choose to have wine at our goodbye dinner.
