A shorter version of Vedaguru's Puglia week, for anyone who can only get away for a few days but still wants the full flavour of the place. You arrive on a Monday and stay four nights at a restored trullo countryhouse surrounded by olive trees, a short drive from the sea.

Each morning starts with a Hatha yoga session taught in Italian and English. It covers warm-ups, asana, pranayama, mantra, mindfulness, mudra and relaxation with guided imagery. The teaching adapts to what your body needs that day, so beginners and experienced practitioners are equally welcome. One Ayurvedic treatment is included to help you unwind, herbal teas are available all day, and meals follow the Mediterranean diet with local, seasonal ingredients.

Away from the mat, you'll visit the old town of Conversano, spend time by the sea at Polignano a Mare and join a hands-on Mediterranean cooking class. The pace is gentle and unhurried, with time to swim in the natural bio pool, rest and enjoy the quiet of the Puglian countryside.
