Experience yoga in the heart of the Tuscan countryside—far from distraction, close to nature. This 100-hour training is designed as a nourishing immersion: structured enough to deepen your understanding, spacious enough to rest, integrate and reconnect with yourself.
This course is perfect for practitioners who feel called to go deeper—whether or not you plan to teach. You will refine alignment, learn how to sequence a balanced practice, and begin exploring what it means to share yoga authentically and safely with others.
The 100-hour immersion can serve as a powerful stepping stone toward a full 200- or 300-hour certification with Himalaya Yoga. It helps you build a solid base, feel into the training style, and get clarity about your next steps on the yoga path.
Come for 9 days in Tuscany, return home with a stronger practice, a clearer mind, and tools you can integrate into your daily life and future training journey.
This 100-hour yoga immersion in Tuscany provides a condensed yet comprehensive foundation in asana, breathwork, meditation and yogic lifestyle. You will explore both the practical and philosophical aspects of yoga in a supportive retreat setting.
Each day flows in a balanced rhythm of practice, study and restorative time. Mornings are dedicated to asana, pranayama and meditation; late mornings and afternoons focus on technique, anatomy, philosophy and simple teaching methodology; evenings invite reflection, restorative practices or gentle workshops.
Between sessions, enjoy nourishing meals, walks through the countryside, quiet journaling time, or connection with fellow participants on the terrace or by the pool.
While shorter than a full YTTC, this 100-hour program still offers a rich, well-rounded curriculum to deepen your practice and understanding of yoga.
The rhythm is structured yet spacious to allow time for integration and rest.
Note: The schedule may shift slightly to honor weather, group needs and special activities.

Practice in a bright yoga shala or, when weather allows, on outdoor platforms overlooking the hills. Between classes, relax by the pool, enjoy the gardens, or sit with a cup of tea as the light shifts over the countryside.
Evenings are quiet and reflective, supporting deep rest and integration of the day’s practice.
Typical amenities include:
This is not just a yoga course in a hall—it is a full retreat experience held in a quiet Tuscan haven that supports your inner journey.
The 100-hour training takes place in Tuscany, Italy, an iconic region known for its rolling hills, vineyards, medieval towns and golden light. It is the perfect backdrop for slowing down, reconnecting with yourself and letting practice sink in deeply.
Mornings greet you with soft countryside silence; days unfold between yoga, nourishing meals and mindful rest; evenings bring stars, candlelight and the calm of rural Italy.
Surrounded by this timeless landscape, your yoga immersion becomes more than a training: it becomes a lived experience of presence, beauty and simplicity.
In Tuscany, food is a celebration of life—and during the training, it is also part of your practice. Meals are lovingly prepared with fresh, mostly local ingredients, combining Mediterranean flavors with sattvic, yogic principles.
Expect simple, nourishing vegetarian dishes that keep you light, energized and grounded throughout the day.
Please share your dietary requirements with us in advance so we can accommodate you in alignment with the retreat kitchen and yogic principles.
Outside training hours, you may choose to simply rest or explore the beauty and culture around you. Tuscany offers countless ways to nourish body and soul.
All activities are optional—this is your time to choose between rest, study and gentle exploration of one of Italy’s most picturesque regions.
The closest major airport is Florence (FLR). You may also consider arriving into Pisa (PSA) or Rome (FCO) and travelling onwards by train and taxi.
Tuscany is well-connected by train from many Italian cities. Depending on the exact retreat location, you may take a train to a nearby town (for example Florence, Siena or another local station) and then continue by taxi or arranged pick-up.
If you prefer to drive, detailed directions will be shared in your welcome email. On-site parking is usually available at the villa.
Once your travel is confirmed, please share your arrival details with us so we can help you plan a smooth and stress-free journey to the training.
Beyond the mat, you are invited to experience the magic of Tuscany—its quiet roads, warm light, local food and timeless villages. Between sessions, take gentle walks, enjoy deep conversations, or simply sit and watch the scenery soften the edges of daily life.
This 100-hour training is both a spiritual retreat and an inner reset: a chance to reconnect with what truly matters, supported by teachers, nature and community.
The 100-hour Tuscany immersion is led by an experienced team of Himalayan and international teachers. Their approach is warm, grounded and practical—supporting you to feel safe, inspired and deeply seen throughout your time in Italy.
