YOGA Vacation in ItalyThe Place:Set high above the Mediterranean, Ravello is the crown jewel of the Amalfi coast. Enjoy spectacular views, beautiful strolls & delicious dining in this peaceful hideaway. Vehicles park outside the town leaving the winding cobblestone lanes, charming piazzas and cafes free to be enjoyed in peace & quiet. Walkers will appreciate the famously beautiful garden paths of Villa Cimbrone and the ‘Walk of the Gods.’ With fine arts and crafts, cultural tours and some of the best pizza we’ve had in Italy, Ravello is magical mixture of serenity, beauty, culture and nourishment... and a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The Yoga:Wake up, do yoga in the morning and still have time to enjoy the day. Relax in the evenings with a specially tailored restorative class. Two senior teachers for the price of one! Mary & Eddy will co-teach each class so you will get plenty of attention.
Activities:Whether activity or lounging is your preferred vacation mode, Ravello has something for everyone:

Accommodations:We've negotiated a discounted rate for our group at 2 hotels.
Hotel Bonadies is a 4 star hotel and offers a 5% and 7% discount for 5 and 7 nights respectively.
Hotel Parsifal is a 3 star hotel and offers a 10% discount. These two hotels are the closest to Piazza Fontana Moresca on the North side of Ravello where the yoga classes are held.
Use the code "Yoga2017" to receive the discount. However, Ravello is such a walkable hill town that just about any place in Ravello proper will do if you don't mind a 15 minute or less walk.
