What we offer

A retreat is a precious moment. To retreat is to step away from the everyday hustle, to recharge, and to seek renewed energy and inspiration.

Zefiro Retreats was created precisely to provide this sanctuary of energy—a chance to pause, to savour the beauty of movement and stillness, silence and music, connection and solitude. You’ll explore new techniques to bring into your daily life, all within an atmosphere of warmth, understanding, and joy.

Yoga will be your companion throughout the three-day weekend, complemented by moments of oriental dance and other mindfulness activities.

Our yoga sessions are designed for all levels, from complete beginners to experienced practitioners. We will adapt the poses and sequences so everyone can progress at their own pace.

We will cover the basics of oriental dance, focusing on enjoyment and discovering the joy of movement. No prior experience is needed.

You’ll return home equipped with tools to create your own moments of peace and joy in your daily life.

This retreat, focused on relaxation and reconnection with yourself, offers a blend of guided activities and restful breaks, inviting you to rediscover your inner calm while enjoying invigorating shared experiences.

Laura, Paris (France)

“I'd been wanting to take part in a yoga retreat for a while, but why settle for anything less when you can have yoga AND dance? With two great teachers and in a fabulous location... I booked without thinking twice! "

Sara, Bergamo (Italy)

"I chose to sign up for the retreat because I was on a personal journey of getting to know myself and my feminine self, and it seemed wonderful to be able to share time and new experiences with other women. I look forward to three days of rebirth!"

Chiara, Bergamo (Italy)

"I decided to participate to the retreat organised by Zefiro because I was very inspired by the programme and I'm very curious to try activities I've never done before in my life, trying to get out of my comfort zone 😊"
