STRALA YOGA RETREAT FOR THE SENSES
PLANETA WINERY
March 30TH – April 3rd 2022
w/ Alexandra Meffert
This is a very special kind of yoga retreat - my very first - taking place at La Foresteria of the Planeta family, a dreamy wine resort in Menfi, on the landscapes of Western Sicily – a super high end luxury experience for the senses. Spend 5 days, 4 nights, combining the best of yoga and wine, food and nature, art and culture, to learn, to relax, to enjoy.
To keep this retreat exclusive, the number of spots is limited to 10 people. This creates an intimate familiar environment, where everyone can get to know eachother, but there is enough space to relax and retreat. Further, there will be enough time for you to go deep into the things we learn and discover, whether it is during the yoga classes and workshops, the cooking class, visiting archelogical sites or the premium wine tasting.

Strala Yoga
This retreat will offer a wide range of strala yoga classes with special focus of finetuning the senses.
One just has to say it out loud: Strala yoga is the best yoga thing you can do, especially for a retreat where you want to relax and take back home more ease in your life.
Throughout the days, we will go through a variety of breath-movement excersises, classes and a full workshop, where you learn to listen to your senses and what your very wise body tells you. They are designed to build up on each other, that at the end of the retreat, you will have learned many key elements that are a total game changer when it comes to movement, finding ease and relaxation and the great magic tool called breath.
At the end of this retreat, you will also receive a certificate of having completed a 10hrs Strala Yoga “breath-body-connection” course.
