Luxury Yoga and Thermal Spa Retreat in Tuscany

The retreat is based at the Adler Spa Resort Thermae, a five-star wellness property in the Val d'Orcia region of Tuscany, near the village of San Quirico d'Orcia. This is not a stripped-back yoga camp; it's a luxury spa resort with thermal pools fed by natural spring water at 37°C, five saunas, and a full fitness club. Your days will move between the yoga shala, the spa, and the Tuscan countryside, with a schedule that leaves room for unhurried lunches and long afternoons by the pool. The retreat includes two daily yoga classes led by Aleena McKinnon, who has been teaching for over a decade and won the Best Yoga Teacher of Kelowna award in 2023. McKinnon's classes blend vinyasa, pranayama (breathwork), and meditation, with an emphasis on making the practice accessible to everyone. Each day also includes a guided meditation focused on breath awareness. Beyond the yoga, the retreat is built around experiencing Tuscany properly: a wine tasting and lunch at Tenuta Sanoner, an organic estate, and a pasta-making class at Casa Dell'Abate Naldi, a local farmhouse. You'll also have access to free e-bike rentals to explore the cypress-lined roads and hilltop villages on your own. The evening meal is a five-course dinner, and the daily breakfast is a lavish buffet. Given the small group size, the atmosphere is intimate— you'll likely get to know the other guests over dinner, and McKinnon can tailor the practice to the group's level.
