Instructors
Ximena Tavares
Ximena has been practicing yoga for 15 years and has recognized her practice as a healthy and enjoyable instrument to work with exploring the possibilities of body and mind. As a teacher, she is inspired by the sense of freedom that the dance-like movement brings, the anatomic tools of the somatic techniques, and the ancient wisdom of the yoga system. Ximena provides her students with a judgment-free space to explore themselves through their practice at all levels. Ximena is intuitive and sensitive to the needs of others. She leads a practice that allows an embodiment of oneself with love.
Retreat location
This retreat will take place at Borgo Cozzana, a beautiful villa close to the beach in Monopoli, Italy. Relax in a beautiful private masseria villa in the heart of Puglia, and let Copal Retreat curate your perfect southern Italian getaway with day tours to five magical towns, incredible food and beaches, accommodations, and daily copal yoga.
The retreat is located in the heart of Puglia on the southern coast and on the heel of Italy's famous boot. The closest airport to the retreat is the Bari International Airport, where the included shuttle on the day of the retreat will be transporting guests to the city of Monopoli, where the masseria is located.
A masseria is a fortified farmhouse; this region is known for its fertile soil that harvests an abundance of olive trees and other fruits, so expect the daily farm-to-table meals made from ingredients picked directly from the property and yoga practice surrounded by the smell of olives.
