Yoga & Paragliding Wellness Escape in the Abruzzi National Park, Italy

The retreat is hosted by Antonello, who grew up on this farm in the Apennine foothills and has built it into a gathering place for yoga, meditation, and farm life. International teachers lead the daily yoga classes, and the schedule includes a mix of Hatha, Yin, and Nidra styles, all set in the forest platform or in a dedicated practice space. Mornings start at 8:00, with classes that cater to all levels—from first-timers to advanced practitioners.

The location is genuinely remote and beautiful: the farm sits at the edge of the Abruzzi National Park, a protected area known for its hiking trails, wildlife, and untouched scenery. The nearby town of Sora, a 45-minute walk away, offers a taste of local life with cafés, ice cream, and small eateries. The farm itself is an active operation, growing vegetables and fruits like grapes, olives, and Mediterranean produce, much of which ends up on the dinner table. Guests are encouraged to join the family and volunteers for meals, making the experience feel more like staying with friends than at a resort.

What makes this retreat different is the combination of focused daily practice with real outdoor adventure. The paragliding is a genuine highlight, but the hiking and the chance to swim in a mountain lake (if you're brave) add variety. The small group size—maximum 10 participants—means you'll get personal attention from the teachers and host, and the communal atmosphere often leads to lasting friendships. Past guests frequently mention the sense of being 'at home' and the supportive environment. Whether you're here to deepen your yoga, try something new, or simply take a break from city life, this retreat offers a grounded, unpretentious break in the Italian countryside.
