Testimonials
"Italy was so very special in every way, but mostly because of Vito's talent and gift to foster everyone’s practice at every level and his unique ability to quickly create a giving and supportive spirit within a diverse group."
-David
"The retreat was an amazing experience! Thank you so much for all of your hard work and persistence that brought this trip to fruition. I'm not exaggerating when I say every detail was perfect - the classes, the location, our hosts, the food. The excursions were also wonderful... Vito is an incredibly brilliant instructor and a lovely person! He is so knowledgeable and just made the whole experience wonderful from start to finish. Count me in for whatever else you two are cooking up!"
-Karin
"I had the most fantastic time in Umbria! Vito and the group were terrific, the retreat center was beautiful, and the food and wine were top-notch. I loved the whole experience! I can't wait to do another retreat in 2022."

La Vita Bella: Yoga in Italia
Umbria Sept 2022
Experience a loving connection to nature on this life-affirming trip to the green heart of Italy: Umbria. The setting of the inn is magical, with rolling hills and fog, electric sunsets, and kindhearted staff.
Practice Yoga and metta meditation overlooking the beautiful hillside, and share outstanding meals made with love and organic produce and olive oil from the gardens.
Excursions include visits to the charming medieval towns of Gubbio, and one of my favorite places, Assisi!
Sicily Oct 2022
A special opportunity to explore the southernmost part of Italy from the luxurious Country House Villadorata in the countryside of Noto.
The stunning self-sufficient property sits on a 22 hectare estate that includes an organic farm with olive groves, almond and citrus trees, and a small biodynamic vineyard. A freshwater swimming pool uses a special healing mixture of mineral salts and nutrients. Sophisticated green technology is used to produce most of the property's electricity and water supply.
The outstanding Country House restaurant is the project of Viviana Varese, the Michelin-starred chef and "World’s 50 Best Restaurants” LGBTQ+ and Inclusivity Champion of Change. (Video honoring Viviana Varese).
Excursions include Siracusa/Ortigia, Modica and Ragusa.
My retreats with International Yoga are culturally rich and rejuvenating.
Through daily Yoga and metta meditation we strengthen our connection to ourselves, present awareness and open our hearts more fully to the enriching experiences along the journey.

Open Your Heart in the Sacred Valley, Peru
May 24 – June 2, 2019
Yoga and Agape Retreat in the Isle of Crete
September 22-29, 2018

This has been one of International Yoga's best programs, and much like the Peru retreat, it is a great place to explore with an organized itinerary full of culturally rich experiences. The yoga and meditation will help us rejuvenate and connect more deeply to our magical experiences, people and places.
I am especially excited to be joined by my friend and expert guide Andrea, who will be leading us through the trip. It will be an 8 night/9 day journey staying in beautifully designed hotels across Marrakesh, the desert and Atlas mountains (all within a short one hour drive of each other).
