Envision yourself as a guest in a gorgeous Tuscan villa…surrounded by breathtaking countryside with undulating hills, thriving vineyards and olive groves…
practicing yoga with a sense of ease and lightness…
feasting on scrumptiously fresh gourmet Italian cuisine*…
adventuring with companions or in solitude, as your heart desires.
Turn this vision into reality! Join us at Ebbio, a renowned organic Tuscan farm
that features rustic yet refined accomodations,
a rich history, unforgettable hospitality and fabulous Italian cuisine*.
Each day you will experience the rejuvenating power of gentle yoga
as brought to you by master yoga instructor Rudy Peirce and his wife Joyce, a certified DanskineticsTM instructor.
Additional on-site pleasures include: horseback riding, hiking, biking, donkey trekking, communing with the farm animals,
or simply soaking in an old wine barrel transformed into a unique floating pool.

the World Heritage Sites of San Gimignano
and Siena,

Hi Rudy,
My husband and I would like to go on this trip. I had some difficulty downloading the registration form, will try again today. It looks very beautiful. We took a trip to Tuscany a few years back but we did not go to all the places mentioned (just Siena). We would love to go back and explore further.

Rudy:
My friends have met you at kripalu and told me about ebbio.
I have been practicing about 9 years, a moderate practice with my fair share of injuries.
I would like to know what levels would enjoy this trip.
Also I am single and would be traveling alone.
Please send more info to me, including cost.
Ciao

Hi Rudy,

Good Job Rudy,

It was great to see you in your temple and thank you for the warm welcome.Too short but intense for sure.
See you soon at Monteriggioni, one R, not two in case you want to correct the spelling.
