2025 Scaravelli Yoga Retreats in Sicily, Ficarra

7 Day Yoga Retreat - Hotel Villa Ginevra

Autumn

27.09. - 4.10.2025

Amidst the wide-open skies and serene beauty of the Nebrodi Mountains, on Sicily’s enchanting northern coast, you are invited to step into a week of nourishment, connection, and inner renewal. In an intimate setting with a small group (maximum 10 participants), our daily yoga and meditation sessions create space to deepen your practice and weave mindful awareness into every part of life. Guided pranayama and meditation gently support your journey of inner growth and clarity.

Afternoons are free to immerse yourself in the healing rhythm of nature. You may wander along forest paths, explore the surrounding mountains, or discover the legendary Sicilian coastline with its golden beaches and crystal bays. Our shared excursions offer time to visit historical treasures or simply to pause and integrate the transformations that arise through practice.

Evenings are dedicated to a nurturing asana practice inspired by the healing philosophy of Vanda Scaravelli yoga—a space to embody lightness, freedom, and deep connection.

All sessions are taught in English, with German translation available if needed.

Ibiza Retreat

Lightness and Harmony in Rhythm with the Breath


October 11–18, 2025 

Dear friends,

With great joy and anticipation, I’m delighted to share the details of our next Vanda Scaravelli-inspired Yoga Deepening Week, taking place on the magical island of Ibiza.

This is more than just a retreat—it's a gentle return to self.   

Vanda Scaravelli’s therapeutic yoga invites us into a deep state of presence. Through soft, conscious movement and breath, the mind begins to quiet, the body softens, and tension gently dissolves.

During this week, we’ll:

  • Connect inwardly through the breath

  • Gently release long-held tensions

  • Explore the subtle layers of the spine and fascia

  • Awaken a deep sense of grounded ease and embodied awareness

This therapeutic approach is suitable for all levels, from beginners to experienced practitioners, and can be seamlessly integrated into your daily life.

We’ll gather on a secluded private estate nestled in the hills above Santa Gertrudis, surrounded by fragrant pine forests, fertile land, and stunning panoramic views across Ibiza.

FACTS: 

  • 4 hours of Yoga per day. 

  • Morning Yoga from 8:00 - 10:00 AM followed by brunch

  • Evening Yoga from   5:00 - 7:00 PM followed by supper
