Yoga & Hiking Wellness Escape in Positano, Italy

The retreat takes place at an eco-homestead nestled in the Mediterranean forest above Positano. The property is only reachable on foot, about a 30-minute hike from the road, which keeps things quiet and removes you from the tourist crowds. You'll wake to birdsong, sea views, and the smell of citrus, and spend your days moving between the open-air yoga shala, the garden, and the trails that lead down to the sea or up to the village of Montepertuso.

Each day includes two yoga sessions. Mornings are dynamic and energizing, blending meditation, breathwork, asana, and deep relaxation. Evenings shift to a slower, restorative style focused on stretching and stillness, sometimes with yoga nidra. All practices are open level, and you're never required to participate—silent meditation happens each morning with initial guidance provided.

The program is physically active. You'll hike daily, both as part of getting around and on organized excursions to local beaches and villages. There's also one full day off mid-week for a group boat trip to Capri, included in the price. Free time is built in every day for reading, napping, or exploring on your own, and you'll get local tips on the best trails, beaches, and even climbing spots.

Maria is the lead teacher, a yogini of over 15 years who has practiced many styles and focuses on building connection and finding themes that bring people together. She's supported by a small team who help manage the retreat. The group is capped at 12 people, so it stays intimate and personal.

Guests share meals together—simple, fresh vegetarian food made with organic produce from the garden and local ingredients. Expect homemade pasta, salads, cheeses, and plenty of fruit, with wine served at dinner. There's also a flexible short-stay option of 3-4 nights for those who can't make the full week.
