Re-charge mind, body and soul on a Wish Sicily yoga break
Bliss out on a revitalising yoga break in Sicily that combines personalised instruction with poolside relaxation. Choose from a selection of Wish Sicily villas that accommodate groups of between eight and 28 people, where you can enjoy up to six hours’ yoga per day in spectacular settings overlooking the Nebrodi mountains or the vineyards of western Sicily.
All courses are led by yoga teachers Bruno Teyssandier and Erika Iannello who provide several classes a day. For the ultimate restorative treat, an in-villa cook can be organised to prepare a specially tailored detox or vegetarian menu using zero miles locally-grown produce.
Yoga courses and villa bookings are for a minimum of one week, with courses starting at €2500 per week per villa, inclusive of a minimum of two hours’ tuition per day. The cost of villa accommodation is separate. Find out more about our villas with yoga courses or get inspiration from the following holidays:

Poolside yoga: A scattering of fun vintage art works and an infinity pool set amidst secluded leafy gardens are just some of the highlights of Villa Arte Mare Blue (sleeps 10) where one of the biggest challenges is not being distracted by the gorgeous sea views.
