The retreat experience
Imagine waking up to birdsong in a medieval stone house secluded in the lush forests of Umbria, beginning your day with breath, movement, and a deep connection with Mother Nature.
Join Claudia for this unforgettable experience nestled in the green heart of Italy where every detail is designed to nourish you and connect you more deeply with your heart.
We will spend 7 days in this secluded peacful location, tucked away in the Umbrian forest, embracing a flowing vinyasa yoga practice that relaxes and opens the entire body. Guided meditations, inner journeys and meditative experiences follow, including sharing circles, five senses meditations, sound baths, nature walks and sacred dances, led by Claudia with compassion and love. Here you can surrender, unwind and allow yourself to be guided back to your own centre, find your balance and connect more deeply with the inner self, knowing that everything has been taken care of for you.
Three magical excursions invite you into the beauty and culture of Perugia Italy. Glide across Lake Trasimeno on a private boat tour and visit its peaceful island. Wander through the green heart of Italy and breathe in its wild beauty. Explore the ancient cities of Perugia and Assisi, where centuries of history blend with the spiritual traditions of Saint Francis, a mystic who once walked the same paths you do now. Get a real taste of Italian culture & beauty while you’re here.
This retreat is a sacred sanctuary. A safe and supportive space for you to unwind and come back to yourself through Yoga, Meditation and community. You will be guided to open the flow of energy in the sacred temple of your body and your mind and heart.
Claudia’s spiritual knowledge, personal guidance and approach to community make this into a deeply nourishing and transformative experience. If you’re ready to feel deeply rejuvenated, transformed, and spiritually aligned, ready to return to your life grounded, open, and connected, then this retreat is for you.
Meet your guide
Claudia is a mother of two beautiful souls, a devoted Vinyasa Yoga Teacher and Retreat Leader with over 16 years of experience guiding others back home to themselves. Embracing compassion, wisdom and love, her teaching invites you to move beyond the physical, into the sacred space where life becomes a blissful expression of flow.
As a long-term humanitarian, Claudia’s path into yoga began amidst the mountains of Nepal, while serving as a Child Protection Specialist with the United Nations. There, surrounded by war and suffering, she discovered yoga as a way to bring healing, awaken, and return to the heart and she has been sharing this practise with others ever since.
Core Program
Yoga
For me, yoga is a spiritual practise to connect us to our souls and that is how I teach and guide. With yoga we honour the body as a sacred temple. We come together to breathe, we raise our energy, opening the inner channels, opening our hearts. On my retreats yoga is an essential part of the process as a path into deep relaxation and a deeper experience.Â
Meditation
Meditation is a path to the divinity within. We dissolve into our inner world, facing ourselves, knowing ourselves, quieting the mind and opening to the divine. I guide people into this process, the inner journey into states of peace, realisation, and sometimes bliss.
Sharing circles
Each daily sharing circle invites you to speak your truths and be heard, seen and embraced. This is a space of non judgment where you are welcomed exactly as you are as we explore our inner journeys together. We take the time to explore spiritual topics such as divine masculine and feminine, karma, divinity and more as well as exploring our own inner challenges. Sharing the inner challenges we all face is a profoundly healing act, a way to move the energy and go beyond it. We share our inner experiences throughout the retreat and support each other to go deeper and step into alignment with our heart and our authentic selves.
Â
Beyond meditation
Over 7 days, you will experience not only yoga & meditation but a variety of transformative practices, including sharing circles, five senses meditations, sound baths, nature walks, and sacred dances, each carefully chosen to help you gently step away from daily life, open your heart, and move into the flow.
Food
Each meal invites you to nourish your body and spirit with wholesome & healthy Umbrian cuisine made from fresh local ingredients. We embrace shared experiences, shared meals and shared laughter, creating bonds and friendships that last for life. So much fun and meaningful experiences are shared in these retreats and connections made here can last a lifetime.

What makes this retreat special?
What makes this retreat truly special is Claudia’s close spiritual guidance throughout your entire journey.

She brings her experience and wisdom into every element of the retreat, supporting you as you open, move your energy, and see yourself with greater clarity. With compassion and love, she guides you back to yourself.Â

What people say
Beautiful retreat. I got to know myself better and also those shadow areas that I was not aware of. Claudia is an intuitive and very empathetic guide. She knows the “rhythms” of the soul. It was a very intense retreat and I felt many inner blockages loosen. I had the impression of a much longer retreat and a harmony was immediately created between the participants. Thank you, I hope to be able to participate in other retreats. Thank you Claudia from the bottom of my heart.
I participated in the yoga retreat organized by Claudia in Assisi. It was a wonderful experience full of emotions and energy. Claudia is a magnificent and very charismatic woman, she manages to convey with great simplicity her passion and dedication to yoga, she goes straight to the heart and soul of each of us. I strongly advise anyone who wishes to find themselves and inner peace to participate in her retreats.
With Claudia it is every time like entering a different dimension in which you feel you are crossing lands of community, deep sincere sharing, joyful connection and lots of laughters. The journey she proposed in her retreat to us was a concentration of emotions, incredibly beautiful sessions, very intimate and the resonance of the strength I received continued to vibrate for a long time after the retreat. Priceless for me has been the safe place to share my own deep feelings with other women.
Claudia is a passionate, trained, welcoming teacher. She is totally dedicated to her task of teaching, she respects her students and accompanies them with gentleness and firmness in any activity. It is a pleasure to share experiences with her.
I was expecting a quiet weekend. Instead, it was an experience that practically changed my life. During a yoga session I felt my energy move, and it was something magical and emotional. This retreat was much more than simple yoga. Claudia guided us through a series of experiences that helped me get to know myself and learn to live in the present moment. Claudia is a great source of spiritual wisdom, and it was a privilege to sit with her in the natural setting of Perugia.
It was not all easy. At times I felt challenged, forced to look inside myself and take responsibility for my life and my current situation. All of us had the opportunity to share our experiences in a safe and loving space.
I left with a clear vision of my spiritual path and with new connections that I know will become lifelong friendships. I cannot thank Claudia enough.
I was looking for a moment of peace for my body and my mind and Claudia offered me that space. After an important illness I needed to rediscover a balance, a way to feel that body that had undergone irreversible changes. Claudia accompanied me in listening and respecting this magical temple. With her I decided to try a spiritual retreat shared with other companions, a unique, transformative and liberating experience. I let go and Claudia knew how to guide and protect me.
The retreat with Claudia has been a deeply transformative experience. It allowed me to go deeper listening to my own voice and to learn to flow more freely with my own journey. I am forever grateful.
With Claudia it is every time like entering a different dimension in which you feel you are crossing lands of community, quiet, sharing, also joy and lots of laughter. The path she proposed to us was a concentration of emotions, incredibly beautiful, very intimate and the resonance of the strength I received continued to vibrate for a long time. Priceless for me to share your deep with other women.
A regenerating retreat in contact with nature, with free dance, with sincere comparison with others but ultimately seeking the deepest connection with the truest part of ourselves.
