YOGA EXPERIENCES & DOLCE VITA

All the wonders of life are already here. They’re calling you. If you can listen to them, you will be able to stop running. What you need, what we all need, is silence.

(Thích Nhất Hạnh, Silence: The Power of Quiet in a World Full of Noise).

 

Silence is not a way to turn our backs to the world, but to observe it and understand it, because silence is not a disturbing emptiness, it is the listening of our inner voices.

Our region offers many spaces for practicing yoga and meditation in close contact with Nature.

Beautiful beaches, olive groves, Mediterranean gardens full flowers, and hidden vineyards where you can discover the natural taste of local traditions.

You will be accompanied by a teacher of yoga and meditation. Classes are for all levels of experience.

A SENSORY EXPERIENCE AMONG CENTURIES-OLD OLIVE TREES: AN OASIS WITH BIODIVERSITY AND WELLNESS

An oasis where man has been meeting nature, and using it respectfully for thousands of years, while maintaining a balance between nature and human settlement.

For example, they have created terraced hills, a mammoth undertaking, now recognized as a valid defence from hydro-geological instability.

We will walk along some “carrugi”, the characteristic lanes of Ligurian villages, and, from there we will go further up hill on country lanes, which showcase unforgettable sea views. But we are not just talking about one olive grove; an olive grove is actually a world onto itself, with tales, people, hard work and soliloquies.  There is something more here: this area boasts blossoms in the fields, and among them, the rare native orchids are found. We will witness a phenomenon, which is unique to Western Liguria.

Protection from climate variations has created the conditions for an exceptional biodiversity. In this corner of Liguria, with its characteristic landscape, dotted with olive trees, and “dry-stone walls” (built with just stones and mud) there lays a site of naturalistic interest, certified at European level. That is where protected vegetable and animal life finds its equilibrium, and it is there that you can find your harmony and balance too.
