Yoga in Tuscany with Stuart
Our second annual Tuscan yoga retreat took place June 2008. I think all would agree it was another rousing success, with the perfect combination of yoga classes, local cuisine and side trips that included wine tasting, cooking class, and a medieval celebration. And once again, the highlight for many was the graciousness and endless energy of our host Guilia Perticucci.

If this sounds like your kind of vacation, now is time to start planning for our 3rd annual Italian yoga retreat, which will be held May 29-June 5, 2009. I’ll have the flyer out soon. However, we’ll follow the same format as previously offering 6 nights accommodation, 3 daily meals and 20 hours of yoga instruction. You choose how to spend your afternoons ­ either relaxing by the pool, or joining with others for optional outings that Guilia organizes based on the group’s wishes.

Please call me for more information (503) 936-8640. Ciao, Stuart

Look at our fabulous yoga form as we follow Stuart's instructions during a poolside yoga session.

We learned the fine art of Italian sauce-making during our personalized cooking class under the tutelage of Il Grand Prato's Chef. We made 3 sauces, which we enjoyed throughout our week's stay.

Ah, and here's Nonna, the matriarch of the estate serving up wood fired pizzas.

A group of happy yogis all dressed up and ready for their afternoon adventure. Wonder where they are off to? Perhaps wine tasting at a local vineyard or medieval festival observing, or maybe Etruscan museum discovering or castle exploring, or maybe just some downright interesting shopping???

And, finally a very relaxed yogi showing the right kind of attitude you should all bring with you when you attend the 2009 Yoga in Tuscany week.
