Let’s catch the first rays of warm golden sun in Tuscany in the romantic Casa Nuova. In every corner, in every detail there is uniqueness that goes back centuries.
In this beautiful surrounding we can immerse ourselves in the wonderful tranquility of nature. Casa Nuova will take care of providing delicious and healthy Italian classics made with fresh ingredients grown directly on the premises. In the morning we dive into creative Vinyasa Flow classes. In the afternoon we are going to discover the magic of Shiatsu massage. Touch can be responsible for physical relaxation, the regulation of emotions and the strengthening of the immune system. At the same time, we will be incorporating and sharing our passion for movement, nature, adventure & self-discovery. Looking to develop the capacity to be responsive and regulatory for our body in space. A call to become aware and observe. The more we feel our bodies the more we can dive into deep relaxation, the state of pure bliss.
Casa Nuova provides multiple wonderful adventures, like a homegrown wine tasting, cooking courses, bike tours & hikes. We will provide as well each day a few free slots to book 1:1 sessions (Shiatsu & Coaching).
We can’t wait to connect and relish in a world full of lightness, indulgence & joy.

LOCANDA
Surrounded by olive trees and vines, Locanda Casanuova is set in the Tuscan countryside, 6 km from Figline Valdarno. The accommodation has its own vegetable garden. It also produces its own olive oil, honey and jams.
THE ART OF SHIATSU MASSAGE
Originating from Japan, Shiatsu is a body work modality that positively influences energy in both the receiver and giver. We will discover how to massage without much effort, by using our own body weight and holding balance in our core, or ‘Hara’. Balance is key in this form, it’s what we aim to achieve in the body of the receiver and it’s how we hold ourselves when we practice, finding the middle between the earth and the heavens. Results can range from energizing to relaxing, but a general feeling of well being follows each unique session.
A BEAUTIFUL GARDEN
provides plenty of wonderful cozy corners to pause and dream.
INDOOR & OUTDOOR
The Yoga Shala is a beautiful, bright and spacious room. The large garden of the Locanda gives the possibility to practice and lecture outdoors.
