Shantara Yoga

She is the ocean 🌊. She is the moon 🌝. She is you.

The sea rises and falls like the breath of a woman — wild, cyclical, powerful beyond measure. Just like the tides, we ebb and flow. And when we come together, our waves become unstoppable.

Join us for Flow & Freedom: A Women’s Inspired Yoga Retreat where we reconnect to the ocean within — our intuition, our rhythm, our fierce softness.

Daily yoga, ocean dips, sisterhood and soul-deep connection.

Because you are not too much.
You are tidal.
You are timeless.
You are free.

💤✴️ La dolce vita💤✴️

It literally translates as the sweet life, but it's hard to explain if you're not Italian, so I'll try my best.
For us, la dolce vita, it's not simply a philosophy, it's more a way of living and being. It's about savouring every single bite, it means taking in the beauty around you and treasuring your loved ones. But it's also about taking the time to rest, taking a nap in the afternoon after a huge meal. Truly nourishing yourself, just like I did today:

1) I woke up to a delicious granita (a typical Sicilian semi frozen dessert served with a huge brioche that resembles a bit a woman's breast🤭)
2) I walked to the beach for the longest dip in history, to the point my finger tips turned all pruney🤣
3) I showered and changed into another swimming costume 👙
4) I sat for the most delicious pasta alla Norma (another typical delicatessen of the Sicilian cuisine, consisting of fresh tomato sauce 🍅, fried aubergine 🍆, because in Sicily we fry everything 🤭, and salty ricotta cheese)
4) I am now enjoying 'u frisco' (cool air) under a lemon tree🍋

This for me is self-care, it's grounding, it's mindfulness, it's practicing gratitude, what la dolce vita is: simple pleasures yet so worthy, what life should really be all about ❤️

Take a group of women, place them in the most picturesque surroundings you can possibly imagine, a pier overlooking the Egadi islands with the most stunning sunset. A delicious serving of fish cous cous and rivers of cold white wine. A couple of sneaky shooting stars and some random music, including Elvis, as the soundtrack for the evening being played from a far. Such simple pleasures yet they made me feel so rich, so grateful for taking part in all of this. A dream of mine, is to eventually take you home with me and share all of this with you, and even more. Shall we make this a thing? What are your thoughts? 💭

What does success mean to you? For me the ingredients for leading a successful and fulfilled life are as follows:

• Learning something new everyday 💍
• Using your hands ✋
• Getting creative 🎨
• Taking the time to be with yourself🚶‍♀️
• Being present in the moment ⏰
• Meeting new people 🫂
• Getting outside 🌿
• Remembering to have fun, lots of it☺️

What are yours?

Who pulled it off best?

I was joined by nine beautiful souls, and together, we got to create our very own Mala 📿. We then charged them with the mantra Om Hrim Namah Shivaya Om (I bow to supreme consciousness) and used them to meditate. What an absolute pleasure it is to share these practices with you. Thank you for making it possible ❤️

Unleash Your Creativity Workshop 🌼
We focused on the Sacral Chakra (not the Solar Plexus sorry for the typo🤭) which is where our creativity resides and then we put it into practice by making super cute Macramé wall hanging guided by Giuliana Forestieri . The perfect way to celebrate the Spring Equinox ☀️
Thank you for joining me, it has been an absolute pleasure to flow with you💛
Don't miss our next workshop next month🧘‍♀️📿

Few snaps from Galentine's Yoga tonight ❤️
We played with partner poses and had a good laugh, as you can see from some of these pictures 😊 What a beautiful opportunity to celebrate each other and connect to our inner child 👧

We had a full house today for a Dinosaur Themed Family Yoga 🦕🦖 class at
I was joined by an enthusiastic group of mini yogis who roared, stomped and had so much fun becoming all sorts of dinosaurs 🦖🦕
Thank you so much for your beautiful energy ❤️
