TBA May 2021, join Krista for an unforgettable trip to Sicily. When yo
u arrive you step back in time and experience a culture rich in history. During this "Sacred Roots Retreat" you will connect back to earth, slow down and enjoy every second of time. From walking the ancient cobble stone streets, connecting with others, and moving through grounding yoga practices for body and soul you will nourish yourself from the inside out and the outside in.
Leading you on retreat... Krista Bonura has been teaching and sharing the practice of yoga and meditation for over ten years. After teaching at top yoga studios in Manhattan, Krista followed her intuition, it was time to slow down and connect with nature. This led her to Colorado. Her background in movement studies, meditation and love for teaching makes her classes accessible to all levels of practitioners. She feels personal exploration and transformation are not to be done alone but celebrated and enjoyed together. Sicily holds a special place in Krista's heart as her family is from Palermo, Sicily. Krista has ventured to Sicily before and has found deep rich connection in both the people and the land, and cannot wait to share these experiences with the group.
Accommodations
Located on the southeast island of Sicily we journey to Noto. Minutes from the Mediterranean Sea, you will be welcomed at La Masseria Danena Sicily, a restored 19th century farm house. Together we will enjoy daily yoga, meditation, and meals. Venture on a scenic boat trip, wine tasting at a local vineyard, a cheese making class, and day trips to picturesque cities and beaches.
​
Danena Sicily is a one-hour drive south from Catania airport, on the island’s east coast.
Set in amongst olive groves, on a country lane away from noise and neighbors, just 15 minutes south from the unspoiled World Heritage town of Noto – one of Italy’s most beautiful historical centers. Noto was featured on the Netflix's series, Chef's Table (glimpse your future Gelato here).
The Yoga studio is a beautifully restored pitch roof barn equipped with all yoga props. Enjoy the fresh water infinity pool, loads of different patios and living spaces to reside in and simply relax.​ There is plenty to do, walking through plantations of almonds, olives and watermelons fields or cycling on trails amongst the groves, booking a massage from one of the recommended therapists, and of course visiting the wonderful beaches nearby.
​
A beautiful setting close to nature that helps you unwind and rejuvenate. The best part about this retreat is that you are invited to participate and not participate in any of the offerings. If there is a morning you would like to sleep in and enjoy dreams of olive groves, please do! Or you can join all the yoga classes, group coaching, and meditation that you would like. In order to settle into a grounded place we must acknowledge the intuitive needs within, this is why we retreat. For a video of your accommodations and surrounding area scroll to the bottom​.​
