Do yoga and meditation for a better life

WATCH THIS VIDEO FIRST! (SOUND ON!)

This retreat is so much more than yoga.

It’s 6 days dedicated entirely to you.


Time to slow down, unplug, and breathe again.
Gentle but powerful practices that reset your nervous system.
Space for reflection that brings clarity you’ve been craving.
A supportive sisterhood of like-minded women walking this path beside you.

This isn’t just about stretching your body.
It’s about releasing the weight you’ve been carrying—old patterns, doubts, and limiting beliefs—so you can return home lighter, brighter, and deeply connected to yourself.

Imagine waking up in Italy, surrounded by olive groves and fresh air, moving your body with the sunrise, and ending the day with laughter, nourishing meals, and sunsets that take your breath away.

You’ll leave not only with more peace, but with a renewed sense of who you are and the courage to live it.

This is your invitation to step into your next version of self—rooted, radiant, and unstoppable.

Create Your DOLCE VITA

Yes, you can make this a reality in just 6 days!

Creating new habits and tapping into fresh energies is what gives you momentum.

In my transformative 6 day retreat I offer you energizing hatha yoga in the morning, relaxing yin classes in the evening, deep meditation, and connection to nature in an environment that supports your change of perspective. Throughout the retreat, you will receive valuable resources and guidance to nurture and enhance your well-being on physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual levels. As I have written in my published book, "Yin is the new black- How to get rid of imbalances in life", we will certainly create awareness and transformation for your daily life.

Masseria Specula offers deluxe style rooms featuring individualized, rustic decor and private entrances with access to the property’s retreat rooms, outdoor terraces, an olive garden for relaxation, and a beach close by!

beautiful rooms

Splendid rooms, refurbished from former uses of the masseria. You can find an old oven, that now serves as a passage which connects the room to a spacious bathroom. Or a rustic bathtub, sink and walk-in shower. Be surprised of the beutiful thoughtful creation. Rooms come with eco-friendly toiletries, towels and AC/heating. In shared rooms you find single beds.

delicious italian food

Authentic Italian recipes cooked by Italian women.
 
As Masseria Specula has a strong eco-friendly ethos, vegan and vegetarian food are predominantly served to help minimise the impact on the environment. In line with this ecological ethos, the chefs choose the best seasonal ingredients grown in the neighbouring fields. Delicious vegetarian catering full board (breakfast, lunch & dinner) plus drinks/snacks in between, will give your taste buds a soulful connection. Eating mindfully helps your digestive system to rest.

daily yoga classes

Healthy diet and yoga is a powerful combination, because yoga is a physical, mental, and spiritual practice with healing power. Tap into your inner pathfinder with daily scheduled morning and evening classes to see every angle of yourself. Yoga is where you can find balance, harmony and energy renewal amidst the hectic hustle and bustle of everyday pressures and deadlines.

the region

Puglia or Apulia, is the southernmost eastern region of Italy. Its coastline, the Adriatic in the east, the Ionian south and west, is one of the most beautiful in all of Italy, with silvery olive orchards stretching all the way to the long sandy beaches touched by the one of the clearest and cleanest seas in the Mediterranean.

 

It is an ancient land, and one which was invaded many times in its history. Today it is famous for its Primitivo wine, produced from a variety of black-skinned red grape grown in the region.

Puglia is a dry, hot region with a Mediterranean climate. Temperatures reach up to 31°C in August with minimal rainfall.

Let Me Share My Story With You

I was always struggling with health issues and unhappiness which caused a lot of stress and pain in my life

I want you to know that I truly understand the challenges you've faced.

It can be incredibly tough to constantly struggle with health issues and unhappiness, and the resulting stress and pain can take a heavy toll on every aspect of your life. I empathize with the difficult journey you've been on, and I'm here to offer my support and guidance.

It's important to remember that you're not alone in this. Many individuals have faced similar hardships and have found ways to overcome them. I've personally experienced my own share of health issues and unhappiness, so I understand the emotional and physical burdens you carry.

At one point in my life, I knew I needed to change, tap into my power, and heal on all levels, physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual. I just knew that if I did not change, life would be a struggle.

I offer a sacred space in this yoga retreat, and you will find like-minded people.

How I discovered the power of healing and transformation..

I started working with a coach who helped me a lot to figure out what I want and need.

When my coach told me to meditate, I was really shocked, that was not what I had in mind.

But meditation was one of the tools to connect with my inner world, my higher self and align with myself.

It was through my own personal experiences that I discovered the power of healing and transformation, and it's my mission to guide others on their path to finding relief and lasting happiness.

Even if you have never meditated, in this retreat you will find access to the connection to yourself.

Please know that I am here for you, ready to listen and provide guidance based on my own experiences and training.

Together, we can create positive change and transform your life into one that is filled with greater health, happiness, and inner peace.

Take a deep breath and know that you have taken the first step towards a brighter future.

I am honored to be your coach on this journey, and I am committed to helping you find relief from the stress and pain that has weighed you down for so long.

You are not alone, and together, we will overcome these struggles and create a life that is filled with vitality, joy, and well-being.

TESTIMONIALS

See what my students say..

Together, we can work towards finding solutions and strategies to improve your well-being. I believe that everyone deserves to experience a life filled with joy, peace, and fulfillment. With my support and expertise, we can navigate through these challenges and uncover the path towards healing and happiness.

If you want to work deeper toward a more meaingful life, I am here for you after the retreat too.
