Start each day with an invigorating two-hour morning practice, syncing the breath to the beat with kriyas, sun salutations, inversions, funky pinchas, ninja rolls, pistol squats and pranayama on the purpose built platforms overlooking Lake Lugano. In the late afternoons, dial it down a notch after a day in the sun with a blissed-out state with a slow, quiet Yin practice.

Nestled in a majestic mountain overlooking the stunning Lake Lugano on the Italian and Swiss border. The secluded and striking property sits on five woodland acres and boasts dramatic views over the lake, a swimming pool, sauna, lush gardens, and scads of space to relax and soak in the sun, or nap in shady patios. The 10-bedroom main villa and 2-bedroom second house are all double occupancy (with one triple,) decorated in classic Italian style with marbled walls, long communal tables, and quiet balconies.

Explore the mountains and waterfalls on energetic hikes, swim in the clear, cool waters, and nosh on authentic Italian food* with friends both old and new. Sunbathe with the group, or find a secluded balcony to read a book by yourself.

 This is a rare opportunity to spend a week immersed in a practice quietly taking London by storm, one breath at at time.
