7 Day Yoga and Dark Retreat Holiday in the Abruzzi National Park, Italy

The retreat is split into two clear parts. For the first three days, you stay in a stonewalled studio completely absent of light—a dark retreat used in the Dzogchen and Kalachakra lineages of Tibetan Buddhism and Bön. Meals are delivered to your studio at agreed times, and the silence and darkness become the practice. After those three days, you move into the main farmhouse for the yoga holiday portion, which includes daily morning yoga classes on a wooden platform in the forest, a walking meditation in a lake nature reserve (with an optional swim in 8-degree water), and a one-hour treatment of your choice, such as massage or reiki.
