The classes will be held in English and are around 4-4,5h per day, except of 2 free afternoons, as well as on arrival and departure day. This accumulates to around 25h of training time, which gives you plenty of time off a swell. In the free time you can enjoy the stunning rooftop overlooking the Mediterranean Sea, get to meet new friends or just relax on the beach and soak in the smooth rays of the autumn sun. The time of the year, being off season, is also perfect for a swim in the crystal-clear waters without masses of tourists around.
The program is subject to change and will be held flexible to give all participants the best experience possible.
We recommend that you fully commit to the programme and its effects, which also means giving up or at least limiting smoking and alcohol. The ‘clearer’ you are during the programme, the more you will get out of it personally, physically and mentally.
You take a whole week just for yourself and invest time in the most valuable thing you have: YOURSELF! Enjoy the ‘dolce far niente’, take time to switch off, reflect, rest, relax and let go. Embark on the experiment and switch off – yes, maybe even your smartphone or tablet and take a good book with you instead.
We would also like to point out again that the sequence and content during the retreat can be adapted to the wishes, needs and possibilities of the group and can differ from the outlined program. We therefore ask for your understanding and flexibility.
Resting times during a retreat are between 22:00-7:00 to give all participants the opportunity for sufficient sleep & rest. We kindly ask you to respect this.
We are equipped with guest yoga mats, blocks, belts, blankets and meditation cushions. Bring something to write for reflection, journaling and exercises (pad or notebook and pen). It’s handy to carry enough cash as the nearest ATM is about 10 minutes away by car.

The public bus lines are irregular and the journeys are long, so you will need a vehicle (car or scooter) to get around. We are located in a rural area with no infrastructure within walking distance.

We organize a group excursion as part of our retreats.
Our ‘house beach’ can be reached in less than 15 minutes by foot and is grat for a refreshing swim in between.
From our house, a 30-minute walk through the macchia will take you to Baia Azzurra bay. The beach is beautiful, with rocky and sandy coves and a wooden walkway.
You can read more about this on our website on the LOCATION & ARRIVAL page.
Car hire: We recommend hiring a car or scooter for the duration of your stay, as this gives you more independence and allows you to visit the beautiful beaches and excursion destinations in the area (e.g. sunnycars.de, billiger-mietwagen.de or booking.com). We are happy to connect retreat participants together to share a hire car.
If there are not enough rental cars available in the group, we organize a taxi service for our excursions.
Transfer: If you are not traveling by car, we can help you book a transfer from Cagliari (airport or city centre) to us. Depending on the number of passengers and the season, this costs from € 40 per journey (as present). Please let us know the time and place of pick-up in advance.
Extension day(s): You can extend your stay with us depending on availability. If we are already full, we will be happy to recommend someone from our partner network.
