"Step Into the Sun in Tuscany"
Yoga Retreat and Sightseeing Adventure

brought to you by Spirit of Italy Tours
The warmth of the summer sun in Italy exudes a magical, almost mystical quality. Spirit of Italy Tours is delighted to facilitate a weeklong yoga and wellness retreat for One Down Dog, LA’s premier community-driven yoga studio.
Join Dylan Wallace from One Down Dog for a transformative yoga retreat in Tuscany from June 14-21, 2025, and find your glow as you deepen your practice and embark on a journey of self-discovery leading up to the Summer Solstice.
Spirit of Italy has selected Le Pianore, a celebrated yoga retreat center nestled in the tranquil hills of the Tuscan Maremma countryside in the town of Monticello Amiata, as the retreat site. Located about two hours southwest of Florence, this family-owned slice of paradise features panoramic views, beautifully restored villa accommodations, first-rate yoga studio spaces, and a gorgeous outdoor pool to soak up the sun.
Le Pianore, serving as home base for the week, offers a private and serene haven to practice yoga and unwind. Situated on 70 pristine acres on the slopes of Monte Amiata, the property is surrounded by streams, woods, and protected wildlife – perfect for hiking and meandering. It notably features a certified organic farm, producing wines, oils, and honey. Guests can nourish themselves with home-cooked, farm-to-table Tuscan meals made with seasonal produce from the vegetable gardens and locally sourced organic goods.
The retreat experience includes daily yoga instruction, a visit to nearby wineries, several planned excursions to stunning local villages and towns for sightseeing and exploration, nearby beaches, and ample time to enjoy the landscape and embrace la dolce vita. Spirit of Italy has also arranged an informal cooking class where One Down Dog participants can learn to make pasta and a traditional Tuscan meal.
Le Pianore offers guests a beautiful selection of Tuscan-style private and shared rooms, each individually designed and located in various villas on the property.
With a dedication to sustainability, Le Pianore is an ideal location for eco-conscious travelers. The property impresses with its environmentally friendly practices and emphasis on a harmonious relationship with nature. “With more than 80% of our energy coming from renewable sources (solar panels and sustainably managed wood), we are proudly on our way to reaching our goal of total energy self-sufficiency.”
Private van transportation to and from the Florence airport is included in the retreat package.
