4 Day of Wonderful Yoga and Flavour in Syracuse, Sicily

Facilities

The everyday life in Italy is defined by elegance, we could say that it is an attitude; that you can notice in the gestures of a fisherman at the market or a farmer in the garden, or in laughter on a fragrant May evening. You can touch it when you enter the cathedrals of the cities or when you taste a recipe that has been handed down orally, generation to generation.

Together with Yoga Like a Local, you can discover this elegance; intertwining travel and meditation, yoga and exploration. As well as immerse yourself in a new environment, in the little-known territory that awaits you and able to amaze you if you wish. Allow yourself to experience its elegance like the locals.

In its streets and buildings, you can witness what remains of civilizations such as the Greeks, Romans, Swabians, Aragonese and Arabs, who intertwined their cultures and tied themselves to Ortigia. The light, the glimpses of the sea between the houses, the baroque balconies, and the courtyards of historic buildings will be the scenery on your walk.
