SOLD OUT!
7 nights of quiet sailing around Sardinia…
Discover the tranquility of Sailing…
I facilitated my first “Sailing + Yoga Retreat” with Yoga Sailing Holidays in Thailand last year, and it was the experience of a lifetime!
I am once again teaming up with Yoga Sailing Holidays AND my friends/coteachers/mentors, Katie Schiffgen and Scott Moore, to offer this amazing sailing experience based out of Sardinia. Sardinia is an outstanding playground for quiet sailing with numerous worldclass moorings sheltered from all winds. Whether you are looking for vibrant nightlife or authentic archaeological sites with picturesque villages, Sardinia has something to offer to all yacht enthusiasts sailing its coasts and venturing its lands. With our highly experienced skipper at the helm, you can sit back and savor the varied delights of this beautiful island and its famous “Emerald Coast”.
Throughout this adventure, you can expect a morning meditation with perhaps just a little bit of gentle, mindful movement each day — taught by either Katie, Scott or myself. After our morning meditation, we eat a delicious breakfast prepared on board by our hostess, then set sail for our daily swim stop, which includes some of the bluest, clearest water you've ever seen with magical caves, mountainsides, and cliffs towering over the water.
As you sail through the Mediterranean on your private yacht, you have the freedom to relax as you please with a book, sun bathe, chat with your fellow retreat guests or learn to sail with your skipper. It’s an experience you will never forget!
