This June, Balance Holidays will present a new and unique yoga retreat in Italy. Greet each day with streams of Puglian sunshine, practising Iyengar yoga before nourishing the body with healthy gourmet meals. Focus on personal development and ease your mind and body through various activities and workshops. Enjoy a well-deserved moment of tranquillity to yourself and explore the beautiful region of Puglia at an unhurried pace on this 4-day retreat at Il Melograno.
“As we were designing the programme of this retreat, we understood one thing: destination matters. With the warm azure sea an arm’s stretch away and a myriad of aromas spreading from the fruit groves, Il Melograno was an obvious option for our Invigorating Retreat. Incorporating the practice of Iyengar Yoga with a qualified expert and a range of outdoor activities to encourage the exploration of Puglia, untamed beauty of the surroundings will provide tranquillity to help loosen and lighten the mind. Local chefs will prepare daily healthy meals using organic ingredients, inspired by the land, sea and sky. Use this opportunity to pull everything into perspective and zone the focus on enjoying a moment of calm to recharge and relax.”
Relax in Luxury Accommodation
With over 400 years of history behind its powder-white walls and pops of pink adorning the archways, welcome to Il Melograno. This traditional countryside estate is also known as a ‘Masseria’, a distinctive style in the region of Puglia. This is the only property of its kind that once housed an aristocratic family. Citrus groves and terraced rows of garden blooms add character to the idyllic space.
Enjoy Activities for the Body and Mind
Amidst these stunning surroundings, guests can enjoy exercises and classes to learn new tools and skills to cope with everyday demands. Each morning will begin with an Iyengar yoga class led by our yoga expert, Giuseppe Intermite. Meditation will shortly follow to help guests slow their rhythm and still the mind from interfering emotions and thoughts.
Learn Iyengar Yoga from a Qualified Expert
Giuseppe Intermite believes that Iyengar Yoga is a great tool for personal development of all ages. His teaching style is based on clear, simple instructions that anyone, from beginner to advanced can appreciate. As a qualified Shiatsu Practitioner, Giuseppe has a comprehensive understanding of the body's anatomy, which extends into his teaching and guidance. Expect classes to include excellence of technique and sequencing, moving through a safe, methodical progression of yoga postures.
Explore the Stunning Puglia Region
For those looking to swap out the usual routine for a new and distinctive experience, the choice is obvious. Besides daily yoga classes, a 15km Coastal Nordic Walk with the exploration of at least three marine grottos, a biking tour around the local grounds ending with a beach-style lunch, a healthy cooking class using locally sourced organic ingredients followed by a gourmet dinner, a visit to Alberobello and one to Ostuni are all included as part of this exclusively designed programme.
Enjoy Delicious Apulian Cuisine
Re-energise and sensitise the taste buds with dishes of traditional Apulian cuisine, prepared fresh on a daily basis. Daily gourmet healthy meals draw inspiration from the estate gardens and the natural beauty that surrounds the property. Seasonality is the key principle in the Il Melograno kitchen.
With the destination being nothing short of spectacular, enjoy the seclusion and privacy of Il Melograno. This location is perfect for nurturing personal wellbeing but will also satisfy those with an adventurous spirit, as there are plenty of opportunities to discover the local culture, history and sweeping landscapes. You will leave the retreat feeling invigorated and revitalised with a heart full of treasured moments and memories.
