YOGA SOLARI

welcome
Welcome to Yoga Solari; treat yourself to a restorative week of yoga in Puglia, Southern Italy. Imagine two hours of yoga a day, to energise you to explore the local towns or beaches, an appetite for the fantastic Puglian food, or a total chill by the pool.
Your accomodation will be in our trullo, the traditional and unique architecture of the area. There are four bedrooms, each with its own bathroom. Trullo Solari has been fully modernised to provide comfortable, spacious and eco-friendly living, and is surrounded by five acres of olive groves and fruit trees. There is a five by ten metre swimming pool for your use, and plenty of sun terraces and other spots to escape with a book or your thoughts.
The weekly package includes a two hour yoga session for six days, breakfast, lunch and evening meal each day (vegetarian food, organic and home grown where possible) and two half day excursions. On one day the yoga will be held in the evening on a nearby beach, followed by a beach barbeque. On the final evening you are invited to enjoy dinner at a local trattoria.

Every day (except Saturday) there will be a two hour yoga session held on the yoga deck on the roof of the trullo. Surrounded by countryside and fresh air, your relaxing and restorative yoga will be taught by experienced Sivananda teacher Paul Fountain.
Sivananda yoga at Yoga Solari focuses on relaxation. You will be led through breathing exercises, sun salutations and asanas that will leave you calm yet energised, and ready to enjoy the rest of your day. Paul has been practising yoga since 1994 and qualified to teach in India in 1996. He has taught yoga full time in London, and spent six months as staff at an ashram in France. He has lived in Puglia for four years, teaching yoga and bringing up his two young bimbi with partner Annacarin.
Most days yoga will be held in the morning from 8.30 to 10.30, but one or two days in the week the sessions will be in the late afternoon, to allow us to experience the different light and energy of the day. There are no more than eight people in any yoga session, to ensure that you have all the space that you need, and to allow Paul to suit the class to the experience levels within the group.
