PARADIGM  BREAK
Sicily yoga Retreat 

3 - 10th may 2025

 

An invitation to step out of routine, connect with like-minded friends & return to our playful nature of being. We live in an increasingly challenging landscape where we easily loose sight of the joy that fuels our capacity to serve others.

We invite you to join us in our love for chasing sunrise and sunsets whilst immersing in a week of yoga, play and rest; 

loose yourself or find your Self...

​

Move energy through our bodies

Soak in sun beams

Nourish with healthy food

Breathe fresh air rich in microbes

Bath in the ocean

Walk barefoot on the sand

Laugh loudly, giggle wildly

Immerse in human happiness

THE VENUE 

Nestled amidst 80 acres of olive and almond groves, Danena is a charming 19th-century masseria just 15 minutes from Noto, a captivating UNESCO World Heritage town in southeastern Sicily. This enchanting retreat boasts a large infinity pool and plenty of charming outdoor spaces to soak yourself in. If that's not enough, there's a beautiful white-sand beach with rocky coves and crystal-clear blue waters nearby.

accommodation

Accommodation here is separated into apartments, connected by a central courtyard. Apartments are decorated, have outdoor patios and indoor living areas. There is a sense of sharing space, yet having plenty of your own space. Most apartments will have a maximum of 4 participants

Rooms are equipped with Egyptian cotton sheets, towels and organic toiletries.  There is AC in all rooms

may weather

May in Sicily is pleasant. Day time temperatures average at around 24 C whilst night time temperatures are around 15 C.
