Schedule

THE PROGRAMME: You’ll have two sessions a day with Yaz: one Barre and one Pilates. One day will have just one class to give you some free time to relax or take a day trip. Expect to be challenged in Yaz’s classes, and discover muscles you never knew you had — all while moving to an absolute banging playlist!​ Each class will be 45 minutes and give a full body workout. Classes are for all levels with modifications and progressions always given. BARRE: This is a low impact class designed to strengthen and tone muscles. We move at a slower pace, focusing on core strength and stability. This is a great class for anyone living with long/short term injuries and also pre- and post-natal.​ PILATES: Pilates offers a holistic approach to fitness by improving core strength, flexibility, posture and overall body awareness. Yaz's Pilates classes continuously flow, so the body is always stimulated. Expect to feel challenged particularly in core and balance exercises and expect to feel revived and stronger. The retreat aims to inspire you with fun activities, daily sessions, delicious food and drink, and an abundance of sunshine. There will be walking tours through the village, a sound healing session with a guest facilitator Elspeth and so many organised trips and things to do throughout the week.

Testimonials

info

My yoga retreat at the stuuning Rosa dei Quattro Venti in Apulia with Will was one of my most valuable stays I've had in a long time. Surrounded by the attentive retreat centre staff, I was able to focus entirely on my yoga practice. Will is so flexible, warm-hearted and guides you through the poses in an experienced effortless manner. Always happy to travel with Will again.

The location could not be better. The food was locally sourced and beautifully cooked. The people were kind and interesting to meet. Oh, and the yoga was special. I feel taller, happier and healthier. Thanks to Will and Annie for their precision planning - and laughter along the way.

An unforgettable week in Greece with Venture Retreats! From the moment I signed up, the pre-retreat support was so reassuring—every question I had was answered promptly and clearly, which really helped me feel at ease before travelling. Once there, everything exceeded expectations. The food was absolutely incredible—fresh, local, and full of flavour at every meal. It was such a treat! The beach nearby was stunning, offering the perfect spot to relax between yoga / barre sessions. What truly made the retreat so special was the warm, welcoming energy from Will, Yaz, and the entire team. They struck the perfect balance of professionalism and friendliness, creating an atmosphere that felt both supportive and joyful. I came home feeling nourished, stronger, and genuinely inspired. Already dreaming of the next one!
