YogApulia - Casalini, BR

Margherita U.

Sono stata in questo meraviglioso posto per un seminario di yoga con il fantastico maestro di asthanga Santiago Pinto , esperienza pazzesca ricca di emozioni , confronto , conoscenza e tanta tanta professionalità e amore ;
il tutto è’ stato reso ancora più magico da questa location stupenda un’ oasi di pace in mezzo alla natura , circondata dai meravigliosi trulletti , per non parlare poi della shala dove abbiamo praticato, infonde una pace un’ energia pazzesca che arriva direttamente dalla terra, proprio dove essa e’ posta si trova in un punto un po’ più alto della location che lascia un panorama bellissimo ,
abbiamo mangiato divinamente la chef jole ci ha deliziato con dei piatti pazzeschi esplosioni di sapori una cucina vegana ayurvedica attenta curata fatta con materie prime del territorio , piatti pieni di gusto e tanto amore , e ovviamente un ringraziamento speciale va’ fatto a Mark il proprietario che ha reso possibile tutto questo, lui una persona meravigliosa attenta cordiale con un sorriso ed una gentilezza pazzesca .
Consiglio a tutti questo posto non solo per ritiri di yoga ma anche per una vacanza rilassante completamente immersi nella natura per ricaricarsi, o per una vacanza detox vista La buonissima cucina , ma anche per voler scoprire la magica Puglia poiché il posto in cui si trova e’ strategico , situato nel mezzo della valle d itria vicinissimo ad Ostuni , Cisternino , Martina Franca vicinissimo al mare sulla costa merlata.
Spero possiate anche voi godere delle stesse emozioni che abbiamo vissuto noi , posto magico e consigliatissimo !!!!semplicemente grazieeeeee

We had the most wonderful retreat experience at YogApulia. Mark and his wife were very helpful. The food was amazing every day. Adventures in wine tasting, cooking, olive oil tasting, boating and more allowed for an exquisite trip to Italy from the US.
Thank you Mark and all the wonderful chefs!

Highly reccommend staying at Yogapulia whether you're a retreat guest, or a Yoga teacher wanting a centre to host at!

A peaceful setting, with a pool, beautiful natural surroundings, and plenty of nutritious delicious vegan food. The fab kitchen team was super accommodating of those of us who were gluten free and took such good care of us. Every plate was full of variety. We were blown away by the creativity of the chefs. Some of the group even had a fantastic cooking class with them!

We all loved getting to know the region of Puglia with its abundant olive groves, vineyards, picturesque old towns, and beautiful beaches.

The studio space is beautiful with all the props you need and the whole team were so helpful setting up taxis for people, helping us book a car, and many other things to help keep everything rolling smoothly day-to-day.

Thank you!

YogApulia, with its peaceful and quiet atmosphere, provides the perfect space for your journey within.
The authenticity, simplicity, beauty, elegance and care in every single corner of the retreat center help create the calming atmosphere that makes this place so unique and extraordinary.
The food is a sensory journey like no other: creative and delightful vegan menu with local products and organic ingredients cooked with joy and love.
YogApulia is a place that stays in your heart and where, for sure, you want to come back!

What a truly wonderful week. After a slightly stressful journey to Bari I arrived at the idyllic YogApulia and was imbued with a sense of tranquility and calm.

The setting is perfect with plenty of space to sit in different areas to enjoy the shade or sun. The pool is wonderfully refreshing with good seating areas around to relax.

The Shala is a great space to practise with far reaching views over the countryside. There is a separate area for outdoor meditation where the only sounds we heard were birdsong.

The vegan food was incredible with an extensive choice of dishes including Japanese and Indian suppers.
All the people working at the yoga centre were charming and couldn’t be more helpful with arranging taxis, and advising on what to do in our spare time.

Most of all, Helen, our inspirational yoga teacher, gave us an insightful, uplifting and engaging week of pranayama, ashtanga yoga and meditation together with lots of laughs and encouragement.
Would love to return in the future.

I have just returned from my second visit to YogaPulia feeling restored and rested. The retreat was organised by my yoga teacher and every need was met by owners and hosts Mark and Nicola. The whole centre has been designed to support your practice - from the amazing vegan food, to the design of the shared rooms, across the facilities including the pool, communal spaces and of course the yoga shala with views across an olive grove and the stunning countryside. It is a place of retreat and restoration - just perfect.

I have now been to this beautiful retreat centre twice, first as a guest some years ago and last week as a teacher co-hosting a retreat. The first visit convinced me this was the ideal venue to host a retreat and that was absolutely the case. Every aspect of this retreat centre is perfect ; accommodation, shala space (well equipped), pool, beautiful peaceful surroundings and exceptional food (inspiring many to want to cook the same way at home!). Mark and Nicola have created a paradise here and are quietly attentive to ensuring everyone was happy throughout. We have booked our return again for next year 😃 🙏

I recently hosted a yoga retreat at this amazing place near Cisternino. The location was perfect, with interesting sights nearby. The food was outstanding, and the hosts were incredibly attentive and helpful. The cleanliness and beauty of the place were top-notch, and the pool was simply amazing. The yoga shala had fantastic vibes. Highly recommended!
