Details

Just in the middle of the cliffs, all nature around in the (not so well-known) quiet side of the iconic Positano, we will stay, right in the heart of a Mediterranean forest, a welcoming home surrounded by years-old olives and lemon trees, good taste, friendly people, animals, and absolutely breathtaking sea views. Our host is only reachable on foot, meaning that hiking up and down hills is one of the key daily activities of this experience. Beyond a Retreat, this is a week for you!

Location

Testimonials

info

Such a nice experience!! I can’t imagine a better place to have a yoga retreat. The food was so good and healthy. The hosts were the best and were helpful when we needed help with something. The yoga classes and the teacher were 10/10! I highly recommend this retreat

Rickard, Sweden

Beautiful retreat, acccomdation, food, yoga programme and external activities. Steep walk up but makes it all the more a worthwhile experience. Hosts couldn't do enough for us. The teacher Maria went above and beyond to help guide and support us in all of our needs and requests. Will definitely recommend and would love to come back for future retreats.

Vanessa, Austria

This was my first Yoga Retreat and I would say that the teacher Maria planned this absolutely well for the location of La Selva/Positano and the overall daily morning and evening activities/classes. La Selva embodies that holistic and yogi vibe. I enjoyed each class. They sensed what each of us needed and provided such enrichment whether it was energetic, strength building, restorative, and/or relaxation. Enjoyed getting to know each yogi and making lifelong friendships 🤍. And not to forget to mention the food at La Selva- Fantastico!

Erin, United States

Excellent trip, very good for wellbeing. Nice mix of activities and free time. Beautiful location and excellent food. Hill is challenging but worth it for the views. All friendly people. Nice number of people as a whole. Sharing accommodation wasn't what I'd normally do but worked out well.

Vera, Germany

So much love in the retreat, beautiful Yoga in the most amazing scenery, so good for body and soul, I would love to return ❤️

Cristina, Venezuela

This retreat really grounded me and cleared my head. Challenged my physical body and mind. I really loved the fact that we had to hike everywhere and it wasn’t too convenient — it made me see the beauty in the process versus receiving everything so fast like I do in the city. I loved Maria’s teaching style and the consistency she brought to the retreat with 2x/day classes. My massage I paid out of pocket and was well worth it!! Food was unbelievable and eating the meals all together was my favorite.

Jessica, United States

Absolutely loved it. I could get used to walking up hill after a couple of days and felt so strong after getting into it. Accommodation was adequate, the place in nature is a dream come true, incredible views and food excellent. Our teacher Maria was so knowledgeable and inspiring, I learned new things about yoga and its practices. Thank you so much for all the love.
