Renew your spirit and connect to the beauty of the Mediterranean Sea.
Set on the spectacular Amalfi coast in an ancient, converted 16th century Franciscan monastery, our yoga retreat will be a feast for all your senses. Practice yoga morning and evening with the sea nourishing your eyes and soul while you breathe in the fragrance of blooming lemon trees.
During the day take long, meandering hikes in the lush hillsides of the Lattari Mountains surrounding the convent and get lost among the dense lemon and ancient olive groves. Emerge to find yourself beholding a breath taking view of the coast including Vesuvius, Capri and the Bay of Naples. Or, wind your way down to the sea after morning yoga class to bath in the warm, healing waters of the Mediterranean. Hiking and daily excursions to Capri by boat, Positano, Ravello, and ancient mineral baths will be available as well. Each simple and elegant room has a bathroom included and opens up to a view of the sea. Enjoy nourishing and local vegetarian meals dining al fresco in the convent courtyard.
Gabby Yates
Gabby is known as a teacher that creates a supportive class environment where challenging yoga and clear, precise instruction meet to foster student's mind/body/heart growth. She has been teaching yoga since 2000 and her teaching style is primarily informed by years of alignment study with Iyengar teachers and the intelligent sequencing and insight of her teacher Noah Maze. She has spent countless hours hiking the hills of the Amalfi coast and finding secret swimming holes with her husband while living in Naples, Italy. They can't wait to share them with you! She holds undergraduate degrees in Political Science and French and, after serving as a Peace Corps Volunteer in Mali, West Africa she returned to school and earned a Master's degree in Conflict Resolution. While working in Kosovo and Afghanistan as a Consultant reintegrating refugees, she facilitated reconciliation and dialogue workshops with local leaders that integrated yoga as a healing tool. She has lived in San Francisco for the past 8 years with her family and teaches at the Yoga Tree.
Summer Yates
Summer Yates is a working artist and art educator, with an MFA in fine art. Being an artist and former ballet dancer, she is naturally flexible in mind, body, and spirit.
During college her sister, a long time yoga teacher and Summers primary mentor,introduced her to yoga. After 10 years of practicing ashtanga and vinyasa styles of
yoga, Summer was drawn to alignment- based hatha yoga. Her desire to teach yoga surfaced in response to her dynamic teachers, Naime Jezzeny and Sue Elkind. In
2014 she received her 200-hour teachers certification through Dig Yoga. Her accessible teaching style is genuine and reflects her energetic and expressive nature.
Her desire to navigate the continuous play of movement and stillness in the body and mind is how she challenges herself in both her artistic and asana practice, which
she brings into her classes as an opportunity for growth. She is passionate about holding a space for her students to open to their curiosity, vulnerabilities and capacity to love. In addition to her asana yoga practice, Summer is a Bon Buddhist practitioner and meditation student of Tenzin Wangyal Rinpoche and Marcy Vaughn. She and her husband, a fellow artist and dharma practitioner, navigate
