​Diano Green is a small Bed and Breakfast run by my good friend Alessandra and her family. 
 
Diano Green manifesto is Alessandra's vision to live move simply, more quietly and more in rhythm with nature. She wants to invite her guests to take time out, to make them feel at home and to offer simple, healthy, local food. 

RELAX & RESTORE 
​
The concept of this retreat is very close to my heart. In todays world slowing down is kind of a radical decision. For quite a few years now I have been passionate about practices that allow us to pause, to be more present in our bodies in a gentle and nourishing way.
The daily morning and evening yoga session will combine the Yin and Yang ways to move and be in our bodies, combining different approaches and modalities. The balanced movement diet includes somatic practices and meditations,  Yin yoga, Yang yoga flows for strength and stability, QiGong, rest and relaxation orientated Restorative poses, meditation and pranayama. 
​  
Here are two links to blogs posts that might be of interest if you new to the Yin/Restorative realm or even wonder why slow yoga in the first place.  

You will have plenty of free time during the day to stay in the villa and relax or go to explore the nearby villages and markets or rest by the seaside. 

The single and shared accommodation during the retreat is comfortable and beautiful.  There is: 
  • one apartment (for 2 people with one king sized bed, bathroom, kitchen, balcony - suitable for a couple or friends willing to share a bed)  
  • one apartment for 4 people includes 1 room with double or twin bed(s) (for 2 people) and 2 single bedrooms. The apartment has 2 bathrooms, a kitchen, living-room and a terrace. 
  • one single room that shares a bathroom with 1 other person.

The closest small town is Diano Marina (3 km down the hill); in 6 km you reach a gorgeous medieval seaside village Cervo full of history, good food, excellent wine and scenic views; there's a long coast line for beach-time, walks or cycling trips. 

Your destination Diano Marina is about 3,5h train-ride from Milan or 2,5 hours by car. Other closer airports are Genova (2 h by train/car) and Nice, France (1,5h by car/2,5 h by trains). These travel arrangements you have to make on your own, but I am happy to assist with any questions you might have. We will pick you up from Diano train station.
