Join April Eljeiroudi + Bridget Galli on a week-long retreat in Tuscany during the summer solstice! June 20-27, 2026

We’re heading back to our favorite retreat location, a beautiful villa in the heart of Tuscany, for yoga, meditation, delicious food, and the relaxation that Italian culture invites.

We’ll be staying at a beautiful Tuscan villa that specializes in yoga retreats, which means we’ll be practicing in a dedicated yoga studio (see photo to the right) equipped with top-notch yoga props. The villa will be reserved for our group only. While there will be plenty of time together, the expansive grounds also provide the opportunity for solitude and quiet.

Join us for a weekend Yosemite Retreat, March 5-8!

Yosemite has a grandeur all its own, and so visiting in March, when the waterfalls are flowing in full force, is a magical, moving experience.

Combine all that natural beauty with the quiet spaces that yoga and meditation help us inhabit, and this retreat promises to lead us to a still sanctuary, both within and without.

Classes include yin yoga, yoga nidra, morning flow, and meditation.
​
Retreat includes 3 nights of lodging, all meals (with options for vegetarian, vegan, gluten free), daily spa passes, entrance to the national park, and daily yoga and meditation classes.

We offer payment plans! Learn more by visiting what’s “upcoming” on our website: pranayogawellbeing.com

We made it to the last week of our ten-week series, ending strong with the practice of Ishvara Pranidhana, or surrender.

In Patanjali’s Yoga Sutra, the last three practices of Niyama work together for Kriya Yoga, or purposeful work to help calm the mind.

Tapas (the heat of self-discipline)
Svadhyaya (self-study)
Ishvara Pranidhana (surrender)

By doing all three of these practices, yoga teaches us the path to find inner peace and to liberate ourselves from the constant fluctuations of the mind.

However, this work of surrender comes last for a reason—it’s only after working hard on the other nine ethical practices that we can relinquish control and surrender the rest. In other words, we have to do our part first, put our yoga into action, and then trust that we’ve done all we can before surrendering.

So this week, try weaving together what you’ve already been practicing related to Tapas and Svadhyaya, then see what it’s like to surrender the rest. Notice how this impacts your mind, your sense of peace, your inner being.
