6-Day Yoga and Thai Massage Intro Workshop in the Italian Countryside

The retreat unfolds at a family-run organic farm that sits between Rome and Naples, just a 45-minute walk from the hilltop town of Sora. The property grows Mediterranean fruits and vegetables, which show up in the kitchen and on your plate. The package includes daily morning yoga, a two-hour introductory Thai massage workshop, breakfast and dinner each day, and a walking meditation to a nearby lake nature reserve where you can choose to dip in the cold water.

Yoga classes are led by a rotation of international teachers—Ana focuses on Hatha and Tantra traditions, while Antonello, the host, brings his own 500-hour training and experience in Thai massage. Classes are suitable for all levels, and the afternoon brings an optional second yoga session at 5:00 p.m. The Thai massage workshop is the centerpiece addition to this package; you’ll practice on each other under guidance, giving you a real feel for the technique. It’s a practical, social way to learn, and many guests leave wanting to pursue a full course.

Beyond the scheduled activities, the pace is yours. You can hike into the national park, wander into Sora for coffee and gelato, or just stay put and read in the garden. The farm has a community feel—volunteers from around the world help with the land, and dinners are often shared with them. The host, Antonello, grew up on the farm and knows the area well; he’s happy to point you toward trails, organize activities like horseback riding, or just share stories over dinner. This is a retreat that works because it’s simple: good food, daily practice, and a welcoming, rustic setting.
