Luxury Yoga Wellness Escape in Italy's Veneto Countryside

This retreat takes place at Villa dei Cipressi, a historic 28-hectare estate on the highest hilltop of Sona, Italy. The estate is a recognized Heritage site, featuring working vineyards, century-old cypress trees, and sweeping countryside views that create a serene atmosphere for introspection and community connection. The property includes the main villa with antique furnishings and original artwork, a separate vineyard manor with modern amenities, and a rustic-chic farmhouse, all within a short walk of each other and the yoga spaces. The retreat is offered alongside Lakshmi Rising's 200-hour and 300-hour yoga teacher trainings, so you'll be part of a community of trainees and fellow retreat guests from around the world, with a mix of nationalities and backgrounds, typically in their 20s to 60s, and mostly women, though all are welcome.
