Wellness Escape with Yoga & Coaching on Procida Island, Italy

The retreat takes place at the SaMa Center, a former Benedictine monastery on a hill on Procida island, in the Bay of Naples. The building has been renovated and offers both indoor and outdoor spaces for yoga, with views extending to the sea and even to Capri on clear days. The setting is calm and quiet, but the beach and a small fishing harbor are less than a ten-minute walk away, so you can easily switch between stillness and a bit of local life. The daily rhythm is simple: a 90-minute yoga and meditation session in the morning, followed by breakfast, then free time until the late afternoon, another 90-minute session, and then an aperitivo and dinner together. One day includes a shared boat trip, which is a highlight – floating on the water, swimming, and soaking up the sun. Katharina's coaching background is a key part of the experience. She is a neuroscientist and psychologist who has trained in mindfulness (MBSR) and self-compassion (MBCL), and her sessions are practical and grounded, focusing on how to be kinder to yourself rather than on abstract theory. She offers daily prompts for journaling and gentle group discussions, all with the aim of helping you see your own patterns and find small ways to change them. This is not a fitness bootcamp or a detox program – it's a week of rest, gentle practice, good food, and honest self-reflection, in a beautiful place.
