21-Day Advanced Yoga Teacher Training Immersion in Italy's Vineyard Country

The 300-hour training is designed for those who've already completed a 200-hour YTT and want to upgrade to RYT 500. The curriculum is thorough: advanced vinyasa sequencing, anatomy and physiology, pranayama, teaching methodology, and even professional development like building an online presence and hosting retreats. You'll also get hands-on with special populations—prenatal, trauma-informed, chair yoga—and learn about Ayurveda, the subtle body, and yoga philosophy in a way that connects directly to your teaching.

What makes this program different from other YTTs is the mentorship. You're not just one of a crowd; you get one-on-one guidance and feedback throughout the three weeks. The training is also intentionally inclusive, welcoming students of all backgrounds and bodies. Many participants have never taught before, while others have been teaching for years—the mix creates a rich learning environment where everyone brings something different.

The estate itself is a major part of the experience. Villa dei Cipressi is a heritage property, with art-filled parlors, antique furnishings, and sunlit yoga spaces. You'll practice in rooms with original artwork and elegant lighting, and eat meals among the trees. There's a swimming pool looking out over the vineyard, and the grounds are expansive enough to find your own quiet corner.

A typical day starts with meditation and breathwork at 7am, followed by a 90-minute vinyasa practice, breakfast, and then a mix of lectures, labs, and teaching practicums through the afternoon. Evenings are for philosophy and discussion, with dinner to close. There are three days off built into the three weeks, giving you time to explore Verona, Lake Garda, or just relax.
