Not Quite a Yoga Retreat, Not Quite a Teacher Training, But the Best of Both Worlds— A Transformational Yoga Intensive on the Sardinian Coast.
WHY SARDINIA?
Sardinia isn’t just a destination—it’s an experience. Known for its pristine beaches, rugged coastline, and crystal-clear Mediterranean waters, this Italian island is a sanctuary of natural beauty and deep-rooted tradition. Sardinia is home to one of the world’s Blue Zones, where people live longer, healthier lives—a testament to the island’s slow, mindful way of living. With its breathtaking landscapes, nourishing cuisine, and rich cultural history, Sardinia provides the perfect setting for a transformative yoga journey.
Here, between the turquoise sea and sun-drenched hills, you’ll move, breathe, and reconnect—to yourself, to nature, and to the simple joy of being, while you deepen your understanding of yoga as both a philosophy and a practice. Through immersive workshops, mindful movement, and guided self-inquiry, you’ll gain practical tools to cultivate strength, clarity, and balance—on and off the mat. This retreat isn’t just about advancing your asana; it’s about integrating the wisdom of yoga into your daily life, so you return home feeling more centered, empowered, and in tune with yourself—both on and off the mat.
​
Why Sardinia in early June? With 15 hours of daylight, daytime highs of 82 and nighttime lows of 68, it sure beats the Bremerton Juneuary!
INCLUDED
​
Accommodations at neighboring, cascading villas on the Sardinian Coast [a total of 17 bedrooms and 17 bathrooms]
​
All meals - nourishing breakfasts, lunches, and dinners from Thrive's private chef, Kaelyn ​​
​
Daily yoga workshops and yoga classes [join for all, some, or none]
​
Beach Day - midway through the week, we’ll take a well-deserved pause to soak in all the yoga knowledge and unwind by the sea. A leisurely 10-minute walk from our villas leads us to Genn'e Mari Beach and Cann'e Sisa Beach, where pristine white sand meets shimmering turquoise waters. We’ll bring a picnic lunch and spend the day swimming, snorkeling, and basking in the Sardinian sun, letting the rhythm of the waves restore and rejuvenate us
​
Nights out on the town - throughout the retreat, we’ll enjoy a few special dinners at local restaurants, indulging in Sardinia’s incredible cuisine. From wood-fired pizza to fresh seafood and traditional Sardinian dishes, these nights out will be a chance to unwind, connect, and experience the local flavors—all included in your retreat. No planning needed, just bring your appetite and enjoy the Italian charm (read: several carafes of the house wine)
Where will we do our yoga and workshops?
​
We’ll practice and gather on the spacious, sea-view terraces of the main villa, surrounded by the beauty of the Mediterranean. These open-air spaces provide the perfect blend of sunshine and shade, with gentle sea breezes and panoramic coastal views enhancing every class and workshop
​
We're staying in neighboring, cascading villas, featuring 17 bedrooms, 17 bathrooms, 6 spacious terraces, 5 pools, multiple living & dining areas, and 1 hot tub

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Do I need a visa or a passport to travel to Sardinia?
American citizens do not need a visa to travel to Sardinia (Sardinia is part of Italy and is one of Italy's 20 regions), but travelers will need a valid, up-to-date passport to travel outside the U.S. Your passport must have 3 or more months of validity beyond your travel dates and at least one blank visa page.
Will there be Wifi available?
Yes.
Should I get travel insurance?
Yes, we recommend you purchase travel insurance in case you become ill before or during your trip. Insure My Trip is one option!
What is the currency in Sardinia?
Euros.
If I rent a car, will I be able to park it at the villas?
Yes, the main villa has a dedicated parking lot. Be sure to get your International Driver's License if you plan to rent a car in Sardinia!
Where is this retreat located and how do I get there?
We are staying in a cascade of five connected villas (13 bedrooms and 13 bathrooms) and in the 4-bedroom, 4-bathroom villa directly next door, on the coast of Sardinia in a municipality called Maracalagonis, which is a 30-minute drive away from the Cagliari International Airport Elmas (CAG). The most direct flights into CAG are through London or Rome; my research indicates Seattle --> Rome --> Cagliari is the best way to go. I've also discovered it is significantly cheaper to book a Seattle - Rome roundtrip and to separately book a Rome - Cagliari roundtrip than to book a multi-stop flight. ("So I should plan for a night or two in Rome en route? TWIST. MY. ARM.") Upon arrival at CAG, get a cab to our main villa located at Via Toro, 72, Torre Delle Stelle (Maracalagonis), Sardegna 09048, Italy.
Is pricing per person or per room?
Pricing is listed per person and / or per occupancy type. There are 13 bedrooms that will be great for either solo travelers (private bedroom + bath) or for partnered up travelers (friends, significant others, or family members). There are two bedrooms and a total of five twin beds for budget-friendly bunk accommodations (four twin beds) and for a work-trade retreater (one twin bed).
Is airfare included?
Airfare is not included in pricing.
Is alcohol included?
Beer and wine is included in the retreat price and we will try to accommodate everyone's preferences, however if you have very specific tastes for your libations, there is a market walking distance from the villas.
Are there excursions available on this retreat?
All retreat activities will be centered at our beautiful villas, with group excursions to nearby beaches and local restaurants included in your experience. However, no additional excursions or transportation are provided as part of the retreat package. That said, Sardinia is a treasure trove of adventures, and you're welcome (and encouraged!) to explore beyond our retreat—before, during, or after.
From sailing and horseback riding to hiking, archaeological tours, and boat trips to hidden coves, there are endless ways to immerse yourself in Sardinia’s beauty. Many reputable tour companies in Cagliari and throughout the island offer fantastic excursions - check out Secrets of Sardinia and Sardinia Magic Experience!
Could I do a payment plan?
Sure thing! Flexible payments are available, just email Kristi at info@thriveyogamanette.com. Your spot just has to be paid in full by June 1, 2026!
What if I need to cancel?
There are no refunds for the $1,000 deposit for any reason; that deposit holds your spot and prevents others from booking it. If you cancel prior to August 1, 2025, you will not be responsible for the remainder of your payment.
​
If you cancel your spot on or after August 1, 2025 you are still responsible for all remaining payments, but we will give you a credit of the amount you paid for your spot, minus your deposit, towards a future Thrive retreat. If you cancel your spot on or after December 1, 2025 we will give you a credit in the amount of 50% of the amount you paid for your spot, minus your deposit, towards a future Thrive retreat. Please provide notice in writing, via email, to info@thriveyogamanette.com, if you need to cancel.
