As you move through an intensive 300-hour advanced training, your outer environment becomes a powerful support. Our carefully selected Tuscany villa offers a calm, beautiful base for deep study, inner work and real rest between classes.
You will stay in comfortable, tastefully furnished rooms with shared or private bathrooms (depending on your booking). Many rooms look out over olive trees, vineyards, or softly rolling hills that glow at sunrise and sunset.
Practice in bright, spacious yoga shalas or outdoors on dedicated terraces, breathing in fresh countryside air. There are quiet corners for journaling, hammocks or garden seats for reflection, and common spaces for connection with fellow trainees.
Throughout the training, our team and local hosts are there to support your well-being, creating a smooth and welcoming experience from arrival to departure.
This 300-hour Advanced Yoga Teacher Training takes place in Tuscany, Italy — a region known for its golden hills, vineyards, cypress trees and historic hilltop towns. It is an ideal European setting to retreat from everyday life, deepen your practice, and connect to the heart of yoga.
Between classes, you may walk among olive trees, sit quietly in the garden, or simply enjoy the silence of the surrounding countryside. Evenings often close with gentle sunsets, stillness and star-filled skies.
The villa offers a balance of seclusion and accessibility, with nearby villages and towns providing a taste of Italian culture, cafés, and local markets during designated free time.
Whether you are drawn by nature, European culture or the stillness of retreat life, Tuscany offers a beautiful backdrop to your advanced yoga journey.
In Tuscany, food becomes part of your practice. Our kitchen offers a fusion of Mediterranean vegetarian meals with yogic & Ayurvedic inspiration, keeping your body nourished and your mind light throughout the 300-hour schedule.
Meals are prepared with seasonal, local ingredients whenever possible — think fresh vegetables, grains, legumes, herbs, and high-quality olive oil — crafted into simple, wholesome dishes suitable for advanced yoga practice.
Please let us know about your dietary requirements in advance. We do our best to accommodate them in a way that is aligned with yogic and retreat-style nutrition.
During your rest periods, Tuscany offers gentle adventures and rich culture. Whether you prefer to stay in silence at the villa or explore nearby villages, there are many ways to integrate your practice with the beauty of Italy.
These optional experiences can complement your 300-hour journey — grounding the teachings in real-life presence, joy and connection.
The nearest major airport is usually Florence (FLR). Some students may also choose to fly into Pisa (PSA) or Rome (FCO) and take a train or train+car combination to Tuscany. We will provide villa coordinates and guidance to help you plan your route.
Italy’s rail network connects Tuscany to cities across the country. Depending on the villa location, the closest major station may be Florence Santa Maria Novella, Siena or another regional station.
If you prefer to drive, Tuscany is easily accessible from major Italian cities by motorway and scenic country roads. Parking is typically available at or near the villa.
During the training, most activities will happen on-site at the villa. On designated rest or excursion days, we may organize local transport or share options for taxis and rides so you can safely explore nearby towns.
Once you have confirmed your booking, we will send detailed travel information, including the exact address, travel tips and recommended arrival times to support a smooth, relaxed start to your 300-hour training in Tuscany.
