“Amazing time in Positano!”

“I had an amazing time in Positano and I would highly recommend this trip to anyone who wants to experience life in Italy. Josie was a wonderful teacher but more than that she was friendly and kind and made everyone feel welcome. The excursions she planned from the trip to Capri, cooking class and wine pairing were all so enjoyable and she handled all 12 of us like we were family. I hope to do another yoga retreat in the future with Josie. Ciao!”

"Best Yoga holiday EVER!"

I was totally impressed with this Yogidioms yoga retreat from start to finish. Not only was Josie an incredibly accomplished Yoga instructor, but also a warm, generous, and genuine soul. After two incredible days in Rome connecting with others in the group, we had seamless transfer to the villa. Yoga classes on each day were very inspirational and motivational. I learned so much. Outings included an amazing excursions to Capri, Sorrento, Nerano and Positano, and an incredible wine tasting dinner, several planned restaurant lunches and dinners included. There was also a pizza making event at the Villa, several authentic Italian lunches and dinners by the villa's own chef and healthy delicious daily breakfasts. The food was incredible! A highlight of the trip was an optional spa day with professional massage therapists visiting the Villa. I made friends for life on this trip and wlll definitely be attending more of these Yogidioms yoga holidays in the future!

"Italy Retreat - September 2019"

Josie organized an amazing retreat which ended being more of a girls vacation for me! I really enjoyed bonding with these lovely ladies. From late night chats to daily yoga/meditation to sight-seeing Italy - it was all carefully planned and well executed. We did not have to think. Josie worked very hard to ensure that everyone’s needs were met. All meals were included and the best were the nights that Nona cooked for us in the Villa. We all sat around a large table to enjoy the meal and eachother’s company! Thank you for the wonderful memories and an amazing experience that I will cherish forever!

"Amazing, life-changing retreat "

The combination of yoga and leisure activities brought a true lightness to the retreat. It awakened a lighthearted spirit in me. I was able to take yoga classes and also enjoy the beauty and romance of Italy and its fine cuisine, shops, and more. It was well-rounded and really well thought-out with Nonna’s homemade cooking at the Villa to getting to know other yogis and individuals on the retreat. I would have liked more yoga classes and a more set schedule but going with the flow was the theme of the game and it worked out wonderfully.

Wonderful experience in a beautiful setting! Loved the adventures and experiences included (wine tasting, private boat tour of Capri). And the food was most scrumptious!

"Wonderful yoga holiday! "

What I found most wonderful about this trip was the chance to connect with and befriend new and yet likeminded people — and to do it midst the splendors of Italy. For me and I think for others, it was fitting and just, and enlarging of both the body and mind, that this ancient Eastern art should find such beautiful expression in this temple of Western civilization.
