Wellness & Digital Detox Retreat in the Tuscan Hills

The retreat is a gentle reset rather than an intense schedule. Each day follows a loose rhythm that includes morning herbal tea in silence, a yoga and breathwork session, a nourishing brunch or lunch, free time for rest or journaling, an afternoon therapeutic arts or emotional release practice, dinner, and an evening meditation like Yoga Nidra or deep relaxation. There's no rigid timetable; you're welcome to move at your own pace and personalize your stay with optional add-ons.

What makes this retreat different is its focus on emotional release and nervous system reset through a combination of practices. Unlike a purely physical yoga retreat, this one weaves in therapeutic arts, silent walks, and the intentional digital detox to address the mental and emotional overload of modern life. It's about creating space for whatever needs to surface, supported by Aroonji's calm guidance and Sofia's creative, body-based work.

Aroonji, the lead instructor, was born in India and has lived across three continents. He's a certified Hatha Yoga instructor, a trained Waldorf teacher, NLP-certified life coach, and Ayurveda consultant. Sofia, his wife, is a certified massage therapist, music educator, and visual artist, and together they bring a blend of Eastern and Western approaches to healing. Their combined experience and their presence in Fiesole, where they live with their three children, give the retreat a grounded, family-like warmth.

The location itself is a highlight. Yogasole sits in the hills of Fiesole, an ancient Etruscan settlement just minutes from Florence, surrounded by olive groves and forest. The land is chemical-free, making it ideal for barefoot walks. You'll have time to explore the grounds, visit the nearby historic town, or simply sit and take in the panoramic views. The retreat can be extended to 4-7 days, allowing for a deeper immersion with more bodywork, nature time, and personal guidance.
