During this week, you will gain the confidence to build a self-practice that you can continue at home. The daily yoga classes prepare you to balance physical stability and strength with mindful tranquility. So, rather than trying to perfect the external shapes of yoga, you’ll begin to experience freedom of mind, enormous reserves of energy and a deeper connection with yourself and others.

“Holly’s free-thinking and non-dogmatic approach to yoga continues to inspire me to explore and develop my own teaching and practice.” Deborah

“Through encouragement and praise, Holly expertly deconstructs each student’s existing yoga knowledge and rebuilds them again – layer by layer – with new levels of sophistication and understanding.”  Rebecca French – Co-founder of Yoga London

 

Delicious Food

The food at Kaliyoga will delight and amaze you and with a generous brunch after yoga, then afternoon tea and evening supper. If you are vegan or have a food intolerance, we’re happy to prepare your food with just as much love, flavour and attention to detail.

 

Therapeutic Treatments

Our holistic therapy team is available every afternoon to help you work through whatever might be holding you back.
Holistic therapy sessions coupled with yoga are a powerful combination that will re-connect and balance you in myriad ways.

 

Evenings and workshops

Evenings can be social – we have two sitting rooms where thee’s always something to read and someone to talk to. Holly leads an optional chanting session in the vaulted sitting room. If you love music and you love to dance, Holly’s dance training breathes new meaning into ‘ecstatic dance’, so bring your sequins and prepare to dance your yoga!

Our expert nutritionist and Ayurvedic chef Alessandra leads an inspiring workshop, two hours, which focuses on the creation of a whole meal. A meal example: raw zucchini lasagna, gluten-free pastry stuffed with seasonal vegetables, raw blueberry cheesecake.

Our Location

Kaliyoga Italy is located in the stunning Itria Valley, one hour South of Bari, in the garden province of Puglia – voted by National Geographic as the most beautiful place in the world. The property is a restored 17th century farmhouse with Trulli, protected by UNESCO. This place is breathtakingly beautiful.
