With over 20 years of friendship, this retreat serves as a special offering by two dear friends and colleagues who share their love of practice and a moment of reprieve to shift perspective, daydream, a collection of adventure and indulgence that is intrinsically Randy and Lori Ann. 

Ciao Tuscany—where the worlds of good yoga, good people, and good fun finally meet!

THE EXPERIENCE

  • THE VILLA:

    Maraviglia is a renovated Tuscan farmhouse with an annex and a private pool. During the renovation of this approx. 400-year-old building, particular care was taken in the maintenance of the original building structure, giving the house all the charm of its original form. The warm and natural colors of the cottage-style furnishings contribute to a comfortable and authentic rustic living atmosphere.

  • THE PRACTICE:

    Guided by Randy Aaron and Lori Ann Ferreri, our program will consist of daily yoga explorations infused with morning meditation and breathwork. An inversion workshop for all levels is also offered.

  • THE CUISINE:

    We embrace a mostly vegetarian Tuscan cuisine with a truly international flair. All food is organic, primarily cooked with ingredients from our own vegetable garden and from nearby producers. All meals onsite are home-cooked with love and designed to be balanced and nourishing. Oh, and the organic olive oil is straight from the Maraviglia Farm!

  • THE EXCURSIONS:

    We invite you to immerse yourself in Italian culture with local activities and excursions, including a visit to Pomaio Organic Winery and Bagno Vignoni Natural Springs, a private dinner at Le Bindi Restaurant, and an olive oil tasting.

RANDY AARON began his yogic journey 20 years ago, immediately falling in love with everything that it embodied. He is now devoted to sharing his deep knowledge, awareness, and passion with others. For Randy, yoga cultivates the true meaning of wellness: an open mind, a fit body, and a dynamic life. It is an ongoing practice. Continuous growth (not unrealistic perfection) is the goal. As a practitioner, Randy teaches students how to love themselves without guilt or judgment while extending that love to others. As RuPaul wisely stated, “If you don’t love yourself, how in the hell you gonna love somebody else?” Follow: @randyaaronyoga

  • GLAMPING

“Yoga in Tuscany”: those words alone are likely enough to entice, but add in Lori Ann as your guide (my favorite wise, kind, joyful teacher) and Maraviglia as the place, and the combination is perfection. Mornings began with meditation and yoga in the Shala, with the mist rising off the grass and the birds chirping, followed by a wholesome, delicious breakfast. The excursions were excellently curated for the extent of the trip, including a wine tasting at a local green vineyard, a hot springs visit, a 12-course tasting menu dinner at a local restaurant (likely the best meal of my life, an absolute joy!), hike to an ancient castle and more. Oh, and the food! Francesca, the onsite chef, made us soups, pasta, and salads…all of them healthy and fantastic. The estate-produced olive oil is a treat - I still have it delivered to my home in the U.S. twice a year. I could go on and on about the place and the company (New Yorkers & Parisians are actually a lovely combo), but in short, I give it a 10/10 and wish I could do the retreat every year!” —Liz E.
