July 9–16 Tuscan Magic
Offering an eye-opening experience with daily yoga is Jayalila Retreats’ Journey into the Senses Tuscan Retreat 2016 (July 9–16). Each day will begin with a mindfulnessbased slow flow practice and end with restorative yoga, which will take place at the Il Borghino retreat centre. The location, although secluded, makes it a great hub to experience Tuscany’s rich culture and beauty, at the same time an ideal place for relaxation and quietude. Visit the nearby medieval town of Lucca or join the optional day trip to the mesmerising Cinque Terre region. And if you prefer to stay at the retreat to unwind, a range of holistic treatments, a saltwater pool with Jacuzzi and Turkish sauna are available. www.jayalilaretreats.com
