Summer retreat 2024

Greetings to all !

We are delighted to extend a warm invitation to our annual Hatha Yoga Retreat, a transformative journey set to unfold from August 3 to 10, 2024, amidst the enchanting landscapes of the peaceful village of Volterra in Italy, nestled in the Pisa province of Tuscany. This year's retreat will be hosted at the picturesque Antico Borgo Tignano, offering an idyllic sanctuary for seekers of serenity and well-being.

Nestled in seclusion, surrounded by verdant bio farms and flourishing trees, our retreat promises an immersive experience in the lap of nature. The heartbeat of this sanctuary is a newly constructed, expansive Yoga Hall, exquisitely crafted in wood, boasting not only a spacious setting but also a harmonious acoustic resonance that echoes with positivity and tranquility. Perched atop a gentle hill, this heaven is embraced by ancient olive trees and an expansive open sky, infusing the space with a radiant luminosity that enhances the yoga practice within.

In addition to the sublime surroundings, the retreat offers a traditional touch with a kitchen featuring a Pizza oven and vegetables sourced directly from Borgo Tignano bio farm. The integration of these elements ensures a nourishing and wholesome experience, aligning with the principles of yoga.

Guiding our journey through the traditional teachings of yoga is the esteemed Yogacharya Swami Sri Venudas. Participants will delve into the profound realms of yoga, exploring asanas, meditation, mantra chanting, Kriyas, pranayama practices, Yoga Nidra, discussions on ancient texts and question answer sessions. These transformative practices aim to alleviate stress, enhance concentration, and instill happiness and peace into the mind, body, and soul.

Our yoga retreat extends a heartfelt welcome to individuals of all levels, embracing participants from the age of 15 and beyond. Whether you are a seasoned practitioner or a complete beginner, we welcome you with open arms to join us on this transformative journey.

Yogacharya Swami Sri Venudas

Born in Kerala, Southern India, home of the most ancient artistic and spiritual traditions, and based in Paris since 1996, Yogacharya Swami Sri Venudas has been teaching across Europe.

Yogacharya Swami Sri Venudas was introduced to the highest spiritual concepts by his grandfather, Sri Deva Perumal, who taught him all the essential notions of teaching and guidance as well as the crucial relationship between pupil and master (Guru Kula). A poet and musician dedicated to the study of Vedanta, Yoga and Ayurveda, Yogacharya Swami Sri Venudas's grandfather was a wise man with a deep love of nature and a great awareness of all its benefits. From the age of four, under his grandfather’s guidance,Yogacharya Swami Sri Venudas was exposed to the foundations of Hatha Yoga and classical singing – a legacy which he treasures and has been passionately devoted to ever since.

Known for being a gifted singer , Yogacharya Swami Sri Venudas has performed across Europe and India, and taught music along with the Great Texts of Indian Spirituality (Vedanta, Bhagavad Gita, Yoga Sutras of Pathanjali) and Yoga for over thirty years. He teaches with kindness and beauty the spiritual purity and benefits of the Dharma: that is in harmony with the cosmic laws, physical health and spiritual liberation aiming to reunite with the world.
