You will be staying in a charming house surrounded by a large garden within a few steps of the beautiful white sandy beaches.
The house offers accommodation in five comfortable, quiet rooms, all with a beautiful view. For yoga, you can choose between a large indoor area, the garden, and of course the beautiful beaches. You can spend your afternoons in the extensive garden, on the long beach, or on a bicycle exploring the island of Lido or neighboring islands. If you are in the mood for some sightseeing, historic Venice is about 40 minutes from the house.
Program
The organizer offers a perfectly coordinated program that you can take part in at your own pace and leisure. All levels – from beginners to advanced – are welcome. After morning meditation, you practice dynamic yoga or pilates, and in the afternoon you practice a relaxed style such as yin or restorative yoga.
Petra (yoga teacher) and Eva (chef, organizer, and local expert) invite you to enjoy Mediterranean indulgence and Italian joie de vivre in a family atmosphere. You will be spoiled with home cooked vegan and vegetarian dishes as well as a glass of Prosecco for an Aperitivo!
This retreat is international and multi-lingual (German, English, Italian, French and Slovenian) with a good balance of physical challenges, culinary delights, nature and cultural program, and pure relaxation!

Instructors
Petra Hangweier
Petra is a yoga and fitness instructor who is currently based in Vienna. She spent 25 years in the corporate world, holding senior positions and working long hours. Yoga and sports played a vital role in her ability to navigate such a demanding lifestyle. She credits yoga for its ability to bring peace to her mind and simultaneously strengthen her body. In September 2019 Petra took a leap, leaving her old career behind to pursue training as a yoga teacher in Thailand. This motivated her to study further into yoga anatomy, which led her to become a certified fitness and health instructor.
Retreat location
The peaceful and charming house is located on the Lido Island of Venice about 20 minutes from the main part where the water bus stops. From there historic Venice can be reached in another 20 minutes. This is the ideal place to combine yoga with afternoon beach holidays and if you are in the mood, Venice's cultural life. It is situated in the greenest part of Venice Lido close to the authentic Italian fishing village of Malamocco. The house is surrounded by a large garden and wild local vegetation, just next to the long white sandy beach which stretches 10km. The beautiful Alberoni beach which is part of a protected oasis belonging to the WWF is only a few minutes beach walk away.
