About this Retreat
Claire Petretti Marti has been practicing, studying, and teaching yoga since 1999. Like many fitness enthusiasts, she was initially drawn to yoga for its physical benefits of strength, balance, and flexibility. Once Claire realized that serenity, peace of mind, and a general sense of happiness were predominant results of the practice, she was hooked.
A RYT-500 Yoga Alliance instructor, Claire teaches a dynamic vinyasa flow with the intention of creating a moving meditation. She encourages students to find the lightness and the joy in their own practice, both on and off the mat. She is a certified Pilates instructor, a Reiki Level 2 Practitioner and also holds a NASM-certification for personal training. She has significant experience with spinal injuries and frequently works with students recuperating from injuries. She leads international yoga retreats every year. Mind-body fitness is her passion.
In January 2010, Claire was diagnosed with Stage 2 breast cancer. Yoga aided her healing throughout treatment and recovery. Learning to live with cancer inspired her to earn her Yoga for Cancer Therapy certification and she now also teaches classes specifically for people living with cancer.
Gemma, also known as Geenie, is an Ayurvedic Practitioner, astrologer and student of the Sri Vidya Tantric lineage. Her classes are often inspired by astrology and aimed to guide each student to unfold a deeper connection from within. Her diverse knowledge and continued studies in the spiritual sciences can be felt in her class offerings. With humble devotion Gemma weaves the wisdom of yogic practices into accessible and impactful mat experiences.

Join YogaDownload top instructors Claire Marti and Gemma Celento for a week of serenity, yoga, meditation, adventure, and wine - in a region famous for its culinary and wine traditions.
Our retreat will be held at a restored 15th-century estate that seamlessly marries historic charm with modern comfort. Wandering through its hand-painted frescoed halls, intimate courtyards, and elegant formal gardens, you’ll sense the layers of history and artistry layered into every detail. Beyond the walled gardens lie sweeping views of olive groves, vineyards, and rolling hills — a quietly majestic backdrop for deeper connection and renewal.
Be prepared for days spent visiting the local sites, going for day trips around the beautiful region of Tuscany and exploring romantic paths leading to history and enchantment. Revel in the views of the subtle countryside in the depths of nature while sipping Chianti Classico at sunset.
This retreat includes all breakfasts and dinners along with two lunches, plus wine or beer to enjoy with your meals. You will also enjoy twice daily yoga which is suitable for everyone from beginner to experienced yoga practitioners (non-yoga participants will very much enjoy this retreat too!).
So.... are you ready to wake in a stunning suite set in the rolling hills of Tuscany, gleaming with classic Italian charm and antique accents, as you gaze into breathtaking views of elegant formal gardens? Then begin your day with a refreshing and opening yoga class, relax next to the pool as you listen to the sounds of the nature, let all your cares drift away while being massaged, enrich yourself in a fascinating cultural experience, and laugh with new like-minded friends from across the globe as you eat incredible fresh local food?
