DETAILS
-
Tara Nature Retreat is located 10km outside the town of Todi, a picturesque medieval Italian town known for its gastronomy, truffles and wine.
The nearest airports are Perugia (59km) and Rome (154 km). Airport transfers can easily be arranged with an affordable mini bus service from Rome Fiumicino Airport (see below) or a private pick-up for 150 euro one-way which we are happy to help with.
-
The start time of our retreat begins June 18th with dinner and opening circle. Check out is 12:00pm on the 24th but keep in mind your flight times may vary, which will affect departure time. If you plan on enjoying Italy after our time together this does not apply to you.
-
Do you want to rent a car? The advantage of renting with friends is that you can use it during the breaks, as well as to get to and from the airport. However, a car is not needed once you’re at TARA. If you’re considering renting a car during your stay please let me know and I will connect you with others! Please be sure to read up on driving in Italy so that you are familiar with what to expect on the roads. Car rental agencies are conveniently located in the Rome Airport- please book ahead of time.
-
Three times daily, a shuttle service runs from Rome Fiumicino Airport and Tiburtina Rome Train Station directly to Todi.
From the airport, pickup times are approximately: 9:00, 14:30 and 17:00
Tickets cost 16 euro and the journey is about 3 hours.
On arrival in Todi, we will arrange a group pick up to bring you the retreat centre. You will receive more information in the pre-retreat emails.

ABOUT ALANA
RETREAT GUIDE
Originally from Santa Fe, New Mexico, Alana danced from coast to coast perusing her love of theatre dance.
Starting in Oakland, CA where she received a BA in Dance, she then moved to NYC to study at the Alvin Ailey American Dance Theater School.
Several injuries landed Alana in a yoga studio where she says the rest is history. Yoga gave Alana the tools to heal from the inside out, "a gift that keeps on giving."
She believes that healing is not linear, community is the greatest teacher and that a consistent yoga practice will change your life.
ABOUT ELYSE
RETREAT GUIDE
I am always a student first. I believe that no matter the level, there is something to learn from everyone. This is why yoga became my lifetime practice.
There is not perfect in yoga but instead a practice, whether physical, mental, or spiritual, each time you show up on your mat. I hope to guide my students through whatever journey they need every class they show up for with alignment for longevity, and clear cueing for fluidity.
I believe that whatever is found on the mat can immensely improve our lives off of the mat.
Elyse graduated her 200hr TT and Anjali Restorative training in 2014 with Shannon Page in Boulder, CO. In 2020, she completed her 300hr TT with Amy Ipolitti. She is also certified in Kriya yoga, myofascial release and barre.
THE PLACE
TARA NATURE RETREAT
TARA’S vision is to create a safe space and nature reserve where people can connect to Mother Earth, breathe deep and come back to their centre. Tara Nature Retreat is a home. And it is a home for guests, for you perhaps. A place where all can breathe a sigh of relief, drop your shield, and return to your true nature. A place to come back home to yourself and the teachings of Mother Nature, returning to the simplicity and joys of Life.
