Flow & Grow:

A Yoga Adventure in Northern Italy

October 4-11, 2026

What You’ll Experience in Italy

Get ready to slow down and savor every moment of this slow food and wine yoga retreat in Italy.

Nestled between the Alps and the coast, the Italian region of Piedmont is often overlooked by travelers, but boasts some of the nation’s richest culinary and winemaking traditions. From cheese and wine to hazelnuts and chocolate, you’ll learn from locals how much care and tradition goes into every Piedmontese delicacy – with plenty of private chef and home-cooked meals to deepen your appreciation, of course! When you’re not practicing yoga in Italy, you’ll meander on foot through cobblestone streets, cycle down country lanes and explore rolling vineyards against a backdrop of mountains. Ease yourself into the birthplace of the slow food movement for a week of quintessential Italian adventure.

How You’ll Experience Italy

You’ll immerse yourself in Piedmontese culture in the best way possible: through your tastebuds (with plenty of expert local guidance).

On this yoga retreat in Italy, your daily yoga practice will lay a mindful foundation to help you slow down and savor Italian culture. Settle in at a private villa overlooking vineyards and fruit groves, and get to know Piedmont’s fertile countryside. Here, warm sea breezes nurture Nebbiolo grapes, prized white truffles flourish beneath the soil and winemakers, farmers and cooks uphold generations-old traditions. Visit family-owned restaurants for plates of agnolotti di plin or truffle-scented tajarin – but save room for the best panna cotta you’ve ever tasted! You’ll also tour wineries, e-bike to medieval villages and have  leisure time to enjoy the villa’s infinity pool! Learn the Piedmontese secrets to selecting the best fresh vegetables as you try your hand at a cooking class and get a mixology lesson from a master bartender at Torino’s own Martini & Rossi. All along the way, you’ll watch past and present fuse before your eyes as you sip dark red glasses of Barolo wine and sample cuisine that’s both rustic and gourmet.

How You’ll Feel When You Return Home

When the sun sets on our unforgettable week together, you’ll return from your yoga retreat in Italy calm, satiated, and brimming with a renewed appreciation for the small moments of indulgence in your daily routine.

You’ll peruse your local farmers market with zeal (and try your best not to compare it to the open-air markets of Canale). Every time you pull out your bottle of vermouth and mix a perfect aperitivo, you’ll stun dinner guests into silence. You’ll bring home your memories of authentic Italian meals, experiences and newfound friendships with like-mnded people. Ans whenever the pace of life quickens, you’ll pause and remember the traditions of Piedmontese cheesemakers, restaurateurs and hazelnut farmers. Like them, you have plenty of time to live intentionally… and plot your return to Piedmont to taste, learn, and flow and grow in Italy again.

More Details…

Imagine waking up to the rolling hills of Northern Italy, the scent of fresh espresso in the air, and the gentle invitation of a new adventure each day. That’s the spirit of our upcoming retreat - a blend of daily yoga, authentic Italian experiences, and the freedom to make this journey your own. Whether you’re a seasoned yogi, brand new to the mat, or simply tagging along for the pasta (no judgment-Italy does that to people!), you’re warmly welcomed here.

All activities, from e-biking through a medieval village, cooking class, and wine tasting to goat herding and cheese making, are completely optional. If your partner or friend isn’t into yoga, they’re still part of the adventure, no sun salutations required. The retreat is mostly all-inclusive, making it easy to relax, connect, and savor every moment without worrying about the details.

I’m excited to be partnering with The Travel Yogi, the original yoga adventure company, for this retreat. They will be handling all the logistics and payments so you can truly unwind and focus on what matters: enjoying yourself and soaking up every experience.

And don’t worry, there’s plenty of opportunity to relax, too. Whether you want to hang out in the villa, sip wine in the garden, or simply enjoy some quiet moments to yourself, you’ll find space to rest and recharge built right in.

This is more than a yoga retreat; it’s a unique opportunity to soak up the magic of Italy, deepen your practice (or just your appreciation for good local food), and share unforgettable moments with like-minded souls. Come as you are, and let’s create memories together - one breath, one laugh, and one delicious meal at a time.

What people are saying about past retreats

  • “Just returned from the most transformational, meticulously crafted, and inspired yoga retreat at Jungle Keva in Tulum, MX. The retreat was organized and lead by Leslie Corren, a gifted yoga instructor, who seamlessly and intelligently possesses an innate ability to weave thousand year old teachings into relatable stories. Meaningful, wll placed music plays int the background and enhances the practice. All yoga levels are made to feel comfortable.

    Leslie's yoga retreat exceeded expectations. She not only taught different styles with inspiring dharmas both mornings and afternoons, but also arranged for a transcending Sound Ceremony and an authentic Cacao Ceremony.

    We practiced all of this in the most beautiful, serene environment. We also had free time to explore Tulum, as well as planned excursions to a beautiful beach club, a luxury Cenote sanctuary, a group dinner out, and a private chef who served us lunch, brunch, and dinner with fresh fruit cocktails in our Villa's kitchen; all healthy, fresh and the presentation and taste was exquisite!

    We came to this experience as an unconnected group and joyfully left forever woven together trough this wonderful experience!"

    ~Robin P

  • “Leslie pours herself in all she does and this retreat was no different. It was evident taht she did a lot of planning beforehand. From yoga sessions, dharma talks, extracurriculars, hiring private chefs, planning our outings - nothing was missed.

    Leslie cares for her students on a deep level. When practicing with her, she sees your whole person, not just a body on a mat. She has an unmatchalbe yogic gift and is patien, kind, and very approachable. Spending a week with her and the other yogis was exactly what I needed. I felt guided and supported from day one, The friendships I made in Tulum are ones that will last a very long time. Thank you, Leslie!”

    ~ Amanda F

  • “I had a life changing experience while on my retreat with Leslie and would recommend this trip to absolutely anyone. I am a first time yoga practitioner an was nervous about slowing people down, or being too new to the practice. Leslie made me feel extremely welcomed and there was not a single moment of the retreat where I felt out of place. I never felt single out, and was supported by Leslie and the whole Tulum 2023 crew to become the best yogi possible. Leslie helped with my poses, breathing, and understanding of the practice itself.

    What is imperative to understand about this retreat, is that it is not all about the poses! We are able to self-reflect, dive deeper into our own psyche, and learn a lot about ourselves. We participated in sound healing ceremonies, cacao ceremonies, various styles of yoga, and s much more. All of this combined into an amazing spiritual journey that I think would benefit anyone.

    We also had an amazing time when not being “spiritual”. We had amazing food and drinks, we danced, shopped say Mayan ruins, went to the beach, explored natural landmarks, and got to know an amazing group of new people along the way.

    I could write 100 pages about how this trip with Leslie changed my life. If you’re curious to learn more about this trip from the morning yoga to the small details in between, please reach out! You’ll be glad you did!”

  • “I recently went on Leslie’s first yoga retreat in Tulum, Mexico and it was one of the best experiences I have ever had! I do not practice yoga but decided to go to learn about yoga. I could not have asked for a more beautiful setting or better teacher. Before this retreat, I thought yoga was about the poses and physicality, but I learned that yoga is much more than that - it is actually about finding your true self and living life purposefully and peacefully. Leslie’s teachings every morning and evening were deep, but she spoke plainly so that the messages were comprehensible and I was able to internalize the messages. Beyond the yoga classes, there were plenty of fun activities, including cenote and beach days, zip lining shopping and dancing. Furthermore, all the meals at Jungle Keva were amazing!

    In conclusion, all I can say is that the experience more than exceeded my expectations and that I would participate in any retreat Leslie creates. Since coming back from the retreat, I genuinely feel lighter and unchained. I cannot pinpoint the moment of this transformation, but it is real and honest. I have also decided to start practicing yoga at home. Leslie, thank you for opening my eyes to a whole new world!”

  • “I just wanted to thank you so much for organizing this beautiful retreat. It was truly a transformative experience for me.

    Jungle Keva’s lushness and greenery created a tranquil and lovely environment for yoga and mindfulness.

    Your yoga classes felt so familiar to me. I so much appreciated your music selection, affirmations, your direction and your attention to accommodate all levels.

    The food was next level. Everything was fresh and delicious… the restaurants, the private chefs and even the food at the beach club and cenote were all fantastic!

    I ams mut mention the cacao ceremony and the sound meditation. These experiences took me to a place of true peace and appreciation. As I stated at the end of the ceremony, when we went around the room to describe what we were feeling… I truly felt connected.

    Thank you for creating a retreat that I will treasure forever!”
