Locanda del Gallo

GUBBIO, ITALY

This charming, 10-room bed and breakfast is set

in a remote part of the northern Umbria hills in a

12th-century mansion. With its sprawling lawns bordered

by lavender and rosemary, a saltwater infinity pool and

hot tub, and an organic garden that provides much of the

food served on the property, there’s a good chance you’ll

want to move in permanently. locandadelgallo.it

“Locanda is remote, stunningly beautiful, deeply restful,

and has the most glorious food and accommodations.

Plus, there’s a gorgeous asana room with props!”

— Gina Caputo, founder of the Colorado School

of Yoga in Boulder, Colorado

Sivananda Ashram

Yoga Retreat

PARADISE ISLAND,BAHAMAS

Dedicated to a lineage of classical yoga that was introduced

to the West by Swami Vishnudevananda, a disciple of

Swami Sivananda, this retreat is part of an international

organisation of Sivananda ashrams and centres. The

ashram, situated on the beach across the bay from

Nassau on Paradise Island, offers daily asana and

meditation classes. sivanandabahamas.org

“I had my first experience with yoga here, and I’ll

never forget the physical practice (my first Headstand!),

meditation (a sense of calm), and chanting (the

words and intonations embedded themselves in

me). Although my style of practice has changed,

this visit was the beginning of lifelong daily yoga.”

— Bo Forbes, a yoga teacher based in Cambridge,

Massachusetts
