SHALA ZEN Practice outside Imagine a wooden terrace overlooking the sea right in the middle of a green and soft lawn. This is a terrace of about 80 square meters entirely in wood, immersed in the carob grove overlooking a splendid view of the two Ionian and Mediterranean seas, with a surrounding garden, roof and solarium. We also have SHALA OM to Practice inside when the sun hits too much or it is too windy. It is inside the ancient farmhouse, paved with a warm parquet. Mats, blocks, belts, bolsters, and pillows are supplied The Property The venue is a farm in the middle of the countryside! That means there is beautiful nature all around for you to explore. You can wander among our plantations, diving into the most typical Sicilian flavors: olive, citrus, almond and carob trees growing healthy and majestic. Also, you can stroll in the herb garden, where thyme, rosemary, oregano and all the wild herbs are blooming and prospering, for a real aroma therapy, the Sicilian way. Here and there, you may find an amazing spot to meditate, like other “Oblivion”, or maybe you can just sit on the patio and read a book under a sky full of stars. There are many types of massage available.

The area is home to agriturismo properties like "Agriturismo Case Don Ignazio," offering visitors a peaceful retreat often with views of the sea and opportunities for typical Sicilian dining, while still being relatively close (around 8 km) to the historic baroque city center of Noto and approximately 12 km from the beach.

Testimonials

info

Recently returned from cyoga retreat in Portugal, and already looking forward to the next one! Catie is not only a great teacher, creative and attentive to individual journeys, she also chooses the venue with great care so we benefit from a wholly experience, from daily yoga practices to delicious meals, as well as a variety of extra activities nearby. Everyone felt very welcome from the start, we progressed in our practice, and by the end of the week it was clear we had gained in wellbeing, wisdom, joy and friendship.

Catie’s yoga retreat in Morocco was better than I could ever have imagined. Catie has a unique approach to yoga and is able to create a truly wholesome experience for everyone within her class. Her knowledge is extensive and by understand each students limitations, helped propel students and me in particular to an unexpected higher level. I warmly recommend her yoga teachings to all students regardless of ability. You will learn and explore your soul, your body and mind, from a newfound perspective.

Solvita, England

Catie is such a great teacher, especially when it comes to backbends and inversions. She has given me the courage to leave the wall and learn to fall over in headstand, forearm stand and even in hand stand. But her retreats are also full of fun, humour, playing games, warm- hartedness, togetherness and sometimes philosophy. Been to her retreats three times already and I´ll be back.
