•Be in Community
Yoga holidays are an ideal way to meet others from all over the world. Organising a holiday for yourself or with friends can be a daunting task. At every Kikuchi Yoga Retreat, the accommodations and food are exceptional. The atmosphere is light and joyful, with a steady, strong focus on yoga.

•Explore, Relax, Restore & Heal
This is your holiday to enjoy! Plenty of free time is given between yoga sessions to rest and restore, or explore the local scenery by foot or by car. All retreats offer quality holistic treatments at reasonable prices. There is one free day midweek for everyone to enjoy as they choose. On that day, Susan offers her 3-hour guided, advanced “practise” in the morning. Local group excursions can be organised for that day, directly with the venue.

•Locations & Venues
Susan personally selects magical regions and venues, mainly in Italy, but also in Turkey (Bodrum). It is a delight for her to share these places with those who prefer to have more of an “insider’s” experience of the region and its uniqueness in landscape, gastronomy and culture. Each venue has a feeling of community, graciousness & kind hospitality.

•Yoga & General Programme
Arrival & departure days are just that. Arrival times range from 14:00-16:00. Arrival day entails a group orientation, usually at dinnertime. Departures are normally at 10:00.
Morning sessions (2-3 hours) offer an uplifting, invigorating practise, with emphasis on inversions, balancing poses & heart-opening. Every morning begins with a 15 minute Pranayama (breathing) session.
Evening sessions (1-1.5-2 hours) offer a quieter, restorative/therapeutic practise, which includes twists, forward bends and hip-openens. Sitting or walking meditation is included, with occasional chanting, and occasional group silence until dinner.
All sessions may include partner work.
