The Breathe Yoga Retreat is open to all levels, complete beginners and experienced practitioners alike. Roberta adapts every session to the energy and needs of the group. The only requirement is the desire to slow down, move, and be present. No prior yoga experience needed. 

The Private Apartment (760€/person) is an independent apartment with a private bathroom, for a maximum of 2 people, ideal for couples or friends who want their own space. The Shared apartments are two larger apartments shared with other retreat guests (4 - 6 beds). The retreat experience-  yoga, meals, activities - is identical for both options. 

Natya Yoga is rooted in the ancient Natyashastra, one of India's oldest sacred texts, and integrates movement, voice, breath and expressive gesture. It is not a performance discipline, it is a practice of presence. No dance experience is required. Days 4 and 5 introduce it as a natural deepening of the Hatha work: the body learns to carry and transmit what the retreat has gathered in you.  

Swim Yoga combines yoga practice with the element of water. Static floating relieves the joints and promotes deep toning, while the natural movement of the water acts like a continuous massage on the body. The approach is gradual and with a gentle rhythm - specific positions for the aquatic context, followed by relaxation and breathing. It is a practice, suitable for all levels, to discover how body and mind react when supported, stimulated and tested by water.

All main meals are included: breakfast, lunch and dinner every day except lunch on the 3rd day which is open: eat wherever and whenever you want freely in Gubbio during the excursion.  All food is vegetarian, natural and locally sourced: wine and spirits are available, but must be paid for separately. Please indicate any allergies, intolerances or dietary requirements in the booking form and we will accommodate them fully.

Booking before the early bird deadline gives you 10% off the total price automatically applied. For the July edition (8-12 July 2026), the early bird deadline is 28 June 2026. For the September edition (2-6 September 2026), the deadline is 10 August 2026.
Early bird prices: Private Apartment €684/person (was €760) · Shared Apartment €576/person (was €640).

After you send your enquiry, we confirm availability and send bank transfer details by email within 12 hours. A deposit of 50% of the total (or if you prefer you can also pay the entire fee already) secures your place and is due within 3 days of confirmation. The remaining 50% (the balance) is due by 1 July 2026 for the first July edition, by 20 July 2026 for the second July/August edition, by 27 July 2026 for August edition or by 25 August 2026 for the September edition. All payments are usually by bank transfer (IBAN): ask us if you prefer pay by a credit card and we'll give you also this option.

The 50% deposit is non-refundable, but it is fully transferable: if you can no longer attend, you can give your place to another person at no extra cost. Cancellation after the balance has been paid also carries no refund, but the place can still be transferred. We suggest purchasing a your personal travel insurance to cover unexpected events.

The nearest airport is Perugia (PEG), 55km away, about 50 minutes by car. Rome Fiumicino (FCO) airport is approximately 200km away; from there you can take the train to Gubbio-Fossato di Vico and then we could organize for you a transfer by car (about 15 minutes for €15/person). We can arrange a shared transfer also from Perugia airport for €25/person.

By car from the north: motorway A1 exit Orte, then SS3 Flaminia. From the east: A14 exit Fano, then SS76. Our farmhouse is in Frazione Villamagna 16, just 8km from the centre of Gubbio.

Comfortable yoga wear for indoor and outdoor practice · Swimsuit and swimming cap · Cap, sun cream and sunglasses · A light jacket or layer for evenings (the valley cools down after sunset and you don't need to turn on the air conditioning) · Walking shoes for the forest walk and Gubbio excursion · A notebook if you like to write · An open mind and a willingness to rest. Everything else - mats, props, towels - is provided (about the yoga mat, if you are a practitioner and want to use your own you can bring it)

Wi-Fi is available throughout the farmhouse, both in the apartments and common areas, as well as in the garden and by the pool. That said, we gently encourage you to use the retreat as a genuine digital detox, at least during the practice sessions and shared evenings. Many guests find that the valley's distance from urban noise is part of what makes the experience restorative. You are, of course, free to manage your own relationship with connectivity.

Each edition is limited to a maximum of 12 guests and this is intentional. Small groups allow the teacher to work closely with each participant and create the intimacy that makes shared evenings and readings meaningful. For groups of 6 or more, contact us directly as we may be able to offer a custom arrangement or a private edition of the retreat.
