5 Day Deep Reset: A Private Sanctuary for Mind & Body in Tuscany

This five-day yoga retreat in Lajatico, in the Province of Pisa, offers a deeply personal reset for anyone feeling worn down by daily stress or wanting to reconnect with their practice. Set in the Tuscan countryside, it keeps group sizes to six people or fewer so every session can be adapted to your body and your goals. Your guide is Alice, a trained biologist and certified yoga teacher who blends scientific understanding with traditional practice. Her approach draws on three complementary disciplines, each serving a distinct purpose across the day. Mornings begin with Ashtanga Vinyasa, a dynamic flow that builds strength, generates heat, and helps the body detoxify. After movement, you will move into pranayama, or breathwork, to steady the nervous system, oxygenate the body, and bring mental clarity before the day unfolds. Afternoons shift into Yin Yoga, a slower, meditative style that targets deep connective tissue and chronic tension. These sessions invite stillness and reflection, giving you space to process whatever the morning has stirred up and to settle into a quieter state of mind. The setting itself adds to the experience. La Casetta di Borgo is a historic property featuring medieval stone walls and eighteenth-century frescoes, creating an atmosphere that feels far removed from the pace of modern life. The Tuscan hills surrounding the venue encourage you to slow down and unplug. Over five days, the combination of small-group attention, varied yoga styles, and a restorative Italian setting is designed to help you let go of old patterns and return home feeling genuinely renewed. No prior experience is required, only a willingness to breathe, move, and rest.
