Yoga retreat and hiking in the wild Valle di Comino

Meet us at 5 p.m. in Cassino, where we'll pick you up. When you arrive, take time to settle in and discover the place: a haven of peace nestled in the heart of the valley, surrounded by nature. In the afternoon, we'll gather for an opening ceremony, with guided meditation, visualisation and an initial gentle yoga session to set your intentions for the retreat.

We'll then share an opening circle to get to know each other in a caring environment, followed by a home-cooked welcome dinner, to be enjoyed outdoors weather permitting.

After an energising morning yoga practice, followed by breakfast, we'll set off to explore the Gole di Melfa, an ancient mule track cut into the rock, now abandoned, between forest and river. It's a great way to immerse yourself in the valley's past, on the Tracciolino trail.

Lunch will be taken on the way back to the house or on the trail, depending on how far the group has progressed. The afternoon is free for reading, a stroll through the village, a moment of diary writing in a local café, or an optional massage. At the end of the day, a gentle or Meals practice will loosen up the body.

After our morning yoga session, we'll set off on a day hike in the Valle Lattara, following signposted trails (route 666) through the heart of the region's mountainous landscapes.

A picnic lunch will be served on the higher ground. The more motivated can extend the loop with a more challenging route (+5 km / +410 m D+).

In the evening, a yin yoga session followed by a yoga nidra will give you a chance to recover both physically and mentally.

We start the day with a gentle yoga session, before hiking through the medieval villages of Alvito and Vicalvi, with their perched castles overlooking the valley.

The walk ends at Posta Fibreno, a small paradise surrounded by a lake of pure water. Lunch by the water, followed by a guided meditation after lunch and some free time: if you feel like it, you can immerse yourself in the river for a revitalising experience in the form of a natural ice bath.

The day closes with our final evening yoga practice, gentle and grounding.

On this last morning together, a final yoga session will be dedicated to gratitude and integrating the experience. We'll then take time to close the retreat in a circle, to share our feelings and say a gentle goodbye.

Breakfast will mark the end of this rejuvenating stay in the Valle di Comino.
