Learning Yoga and Italian on the beautiful island of Sardinia, with sea view, nature, sunshine and fresh air? This is exactly what we are offering together with Nadja Maffei from Dialogando – Enjoy Languages.
The Italian lessons always take place in the morning and the yoga sessions in the late afternoon. Relax during yoga with seaview and explore the surrounding area, the capital Cagliari and the wonderful beaches in the afternoon. With the PDL method, you’ll learn Italian in a fun and easy way!
The course takes place in a small group with a limited number of participants up to a maximum of 10 people. Reserve your spot and write to us!

You are welcome to inquire about booking your accommodation with breakfast during the course.
Daily schedule (Monday to Friday):
Bring a mat or a large scarf and a small towel (in case you sweat a lot) as well as sunscreen and mosquito spray.
We are equipped with guest yoga mats, blocks, belts, blankets and meditation cushions.
The public bus routes are irregular and the rides take a long time, so you will need a vehicle (car or scooter). We are located in a rural area with no infrastructure within walking distance.
The capital Cagliari and the holiday town Villasimius are both around 30 minutes by car.
Our little “house beach” can be reached in less than 15 minutes by foot and is ideal for a refreshing swim. A 30-minute walk through the macchia will take you to the beautiful bay “Baia Azzurra”. There are many fantastic beaches to the east along the coastal road.
You can read more about this on our website in Location & Arrival.
Depending on availability, you are welcome to book your accomodation and breakfast with us for the duration of the course (and beyond). Depending on availability all rooms can be booked as single occupancy. Please let us know your request when you make your booking.
Breakfast is vegetarian (vegan options also available) with muesli or porridge, homemade bread, cakes, jams and spreads, seasonal fruit, local cheese and honey, butter, tea, coffee etc. and is served after the morning session.
Our tab water is drinkable (don’t forget to bring a drinking bottle).

Nadja: After many years of experience in Stuttgart, as an Italian and English trainer, I decided to learn a new and original method of teaching (and learning) foreign languages and successfully completed the teaching programme.
The PDL method originates from psychodrama and dramaturgy. Seine Erfinder sind die französischen Pädagogen Dr. Bernard und Marie Dufeu, denen ich viel verdanke. Thanks to them and the enthusiasm that this method, which is based on innate expressiveness, transmits, my approach to teaching has completely changed.
Teaching or being a trainer (which I prefer) means offering the experience of “living” a language. Within a group or in an individual Italian course, you can discover and develop your mostly unknown talent for dialogue. So ist eine Sprache nicht mehr fremd, denn mit einer Erlebnismethode, die ein reales Gespräch ähnelt, nähert man sich ohne Druck, und mit individuellem Rhythmus, grammatikalischen Strukturen, Aussprache und Konversation.
For those who speak German and want to improve their Italian, I have created both group and individual courses that focus on learning Italian according to the PDL method and that can be integrated with other courses to make your language holiday in Sardinia a 360-degree experience.
Verena: My Journey with Yoga and Holistic Development
Over 20 years ago, I encountered yoga for the first time—a moment that captivated me instantly. The sense of calm, focus, and inner strength inherent in the practice of yoga left a profound impression on me. A few years later, I decided to deepen my understanding and connection with yoga. In 2010, this journey led me to South India, where I completed my first yoga teacher training at the Sivananda Yoga Vedanta Meenakshi Ashram in Madurai.
In the years that followed, I expanded my knowledge in areas such as pranayama, philosophy, anatomy, and adjustment. I participated in various teacher trainings, including Ashtanga Vinyasa Yoga with Manju P. Jois, and attended numerous retreats, workshops, and advanced trainings. In 2022/23, I broadened my expertise by completing a diploma in Mental and Communication Training, which had a significant impact on my teaching methods and approach. At the beginning of 2024, I added another layer to my practice by becoming a certified Thai Nuad Massage practitioner at the ITM School in Chiang Mai, Thailand.
Since 2011, I have been teaching yoga through group and private sessions, courses, as well as international retreats and workshops. As a Thai Nuad practitioner, I also offer holistic bodywork treatments, supporting my clients on multiple levels of wellbeing and balance.
My Approach
I guide and support individuals in their processes of development, healing, growth, and transformation. Together, we work towards enhancing mental, emotional, and physical health while fostering serenity and wellbeing.
I look forward to meeting you and collaborating with you on your journey to greater balance and vitality.
