AMARO
Puglia, Italy
October 2-6th 2025
We’re pretty sure the perfect pause between summer and autumn looks something like this…
Float between the daily simplicities of Italian living at our Puglian casa to your hearts full content. Here, days will be bookended by soft yet expansive yoga practices; creating time and space to drop into presence whilst immersed in 10 acres of surrounding nature.
Fresh and nourishing farm-to-table meals are sourced from your front door to your plate every mealtime by the talented chefs of Tenuta Negroamaro. We can’t wait to have you.

Zoë Markos-Thresher
Yoga teacher & host
South East London Yoga Teacher, Zoë Markos-Thresher, will be your host and yoga facilitator throughout your retreat.
With over 500 training hours accumulated in the styles of Vinyasa, Mandala, Rocket, Yin & Pre/Post Natal yoga, Zoë will guide you through twice daily extended practises during your 5 day retreat immersion to give you the time and space to fully drop into this experience, and leave our beautiful retreat home feeling all of the magical effects of this practice in both mind and body.
Our mornings will be spent flowing through elemental mandala journeys and our evenings dedicated to cosying up with a nourishing yin practice to aid sleep and rest.
Dora Jones
Guest teacher
Pilates, fitness & yoga instructor, Dora Jones, (and Zoë’s mum!) will be our amazing guest teacher on retreat this year.
With a wealth of experience in the fitness industry, over 30 years, Dora started and trained as an exercise to music instructor. From there, she went on to create celebrity fitness DVDs and frequently presented fitness segments for the likes of Good Morning Britain.
Trained in several different fitness disciplines and just as passionate about each one of them, Dora’s pilates & fitness classes will be a daily inclusivity on our retreat schedule if you also want your fitness fix!
“What a wonderful retreat. I am not an experienced yogi, yet Zoë adjusted the moves to cater to all abilities and her excellent music selection enhanced each practice. Everything worked smoothly from pick-ups at the airport, to the beautiful accommodation with stunning views, incredible food from a very talented chef and the masseuse was superb. There were trips on offer but no pressure to go if one preferred to stay and relax by the pool. I returned home feeling very relaxed. Will be returning in 2025.”
