the amazing things you'll be doing
Yoga holidays and retreats in the medieval village of Casperia. Time to relax and recharge your mind, body and soul.
Join us for a yoga holiday where you can join in with group yoga classes or have one-to-one yoga tuition. Or simply enjoy a retreat from the world at the beautifully restored Casa Latini – where you can choose from a large selection of holistic treatments, explore the mountains and villages or take part in numerous activities, from horse-riding to hot springs. Your holiday will be an unforgettable experience, a real break to unwind, relax, and physically, mentally and spiritually recharge.
Most of our rooms are ensuite or have private bathrooms and all are self-catering. Prices include accommodation and breakfast at our lounge-café, fresh linen and towels, one yoga class daily (Friday through Tuesday), a guided walk in the Sabina mountains, all-week use of bicycles and yoga mats.
The holiday will be a unique experience where you can choose to:
Our yoga classes are suitable for beginners as well as more practiced yogis. We practise Friday through Tuesday once a day with some classes outdoors in spectacular surroundings; while when we choose to practice yoga indoors, we use our own restored and professionally designed 40 square metre studio which has a fresh water spring and ancient cave as a bathroom. Classes last 90 minutes.
For those who would like the opportunity to practice more yoga, extra classes of Hatha yoga or meditation are optionally available throughout the week with Lucy Bremner or guest yoga teachers.
Individual yoga lessons are also available: one-to-one tuition in Asana, Pranayama, Meditation and Relaxation.

how this holiday makes a difference
|
We support the local community economically by bringing our groups to medieval hilltop locations rural areas in Italy. Local businesses benefit from our visitors from local craft shops to local farmers as our visitors live alongside local people and buy from the local community. We use local houses for our accommodations, employ local people and work with the villagers in order to enhance the local economy and integrate the concept of eco-tourism into the culture of Sabina. From our profits we also support festivals and local functions yearly.
 We aim to continue to promote eco tourism and protection of nature. To promote eco tourism and traditional organic methods of farming we work along side the WWF and other anti hunting organizations in protecting the Sabina mountains fauna and Flora and in the rest of Italy and worldwide as a whole. We transport guests to local nature reserves, wild streams, wild sulfur springs, mountains and woodlands, explaining to our visitors the functioning and cycle of the flora and fauna of these places. We work alongside local people as our groups are small and have a theme of relaxation and eco tourism. |
Tourism can be good and bad for destinations & local people. We carefully screen every holiday against our criteria for responsible travel. 'Look behind the brochure' to find how each holiday makes a difference (see left). We don't claim to be perfect - there is no global accreditation - but we've led the way since 2001 and screened 1000's of holidays. We invite every traveller to write a review about their experiences and responsible tourism. This valuable feedback is sent to the people who run the holidays. We keep a very close eye on it and take off holidays that don't live up to our standards. |
