“ I came for the yoga by the seaside but was captivated by the charm and warm welcome of this small Sicilian village. I found the atmosphere invited whatever level of solitude or socialization I desired. I will cherish the connections that I found with friends new and old as well as the memories of exploring Ragusa, Modica, and Scoglitti. This was not just a yoga retreat, this was an experience of a lifetime! And the food- don’t even get me started on all the delicious cappuccinno, risotto, seafood, gelato, and wine! Elissa and Greg, you made us feel like family. I’m so lucky I got to be a part of it!”

“Elissa created a truly amazing and healing yoga retreat experience. It was like a real life experience of Eat, Pray, Love. The mornings were spent with a skillful, but accessible yoga practice on a peaceful Mediterranean beach. Followed by a delicious and healthy seafood and pasta lunch. There was enough time built into the schedule for personal reflection or exploration of Sicily. Every detail was carefully considered. And the best part is that you were welcomed as part of Elissa’s huge Sicilian family.”

“This retreat met all of my expectations and then some! I love yoga and Elissa is one of the best instructors I’ve ever experienced. She is truly a master and was sensitive to the needs and limitations of everyone in the group. She brings light and happiness to everyone she encounters. The hotel is beautiful, on an incredible beach and everything is well done from the food to the maid service. I truly enjoyed connecting with my Italian roots - the food, the language, the warm hospitality delivered by the locals - it was all perfect. Scoglitti is a lovely little town; I find myself yearning to return. Elissa did a terrific job in helping everyone in the group connect with each other. I’ll admit that I was a bit apprehensive to go on this trip by myself, but that disappeared immediately. I quickly made new friends and always had someone to eat or walk, or expore with me. I highly recommend this retreat - I came home completely energized and recharged and with some great memories.”

"Going on retreat with Elissa was a rich, amazing experience! The Sicilian people welcomed us, but it was even more special how Elissa's family welcomed us into their homes for authentic meals they prepared. Practicing yoga on the Mediterranean, walking in the piazzas of Sicilian cities, sampling chocolates and wines, and sharing delicious meals together were precious experiences for me. Elissa guided us through it all with grace, warmth, and humor."

"I have never gone on an adventure solo like this before. I was excited to go on a vacation and not have to plan anything and just enjoy the experience. Elissa FAR exceeded my expectations. I was able to experience things and places I never would have ventured to on my own. I was completely relaxed, rested, and made a lot of new friends. I have already highly recommended the retreat to many folks who have asked about my trip. I can't wait to go again and hopefully get my mom, aunt, sisters, and cousins to go! "
