Join us for an intimate retreat limited to just 10 participants. We’ll stay in a charming historic palazzo, practice daily yoga with Meg and Takako, savor delicious local cuisine, and immerse ourselves in the rich cultural heritage of Venice—from art and architecture to gondolas and world-renowned landmarks.

Daily yoga sessions with Meg & Takako (morning & afternoon)
