Yoga, Food & Wine, Positano Italy

Like the movie stars and royalty before us we travel to the seaside town of Positano on Italy's Amalfi Coast. Behind the razzle dazzle of this exclusive destination with its boutique shops and culinary conquests is a charming village which explodes out of the azure waters of the Mediterranean in a stunning display of pink, peach and terracotta villas.

Your accommodation for the week is no less than one of the most exclusive villas on Amalfi Coast perched high on the hill overlooking Positano. Villa San Giacomo was constructed as a luxury residence for wealthy merchants in 1741. The most famous artists of the time were enlisted to fresco the ceilings and fill each room with precious furniture and artworks. The villa was restored in 2013. Like the villa's first owners, you will sleep in sumptuous suites decorated with exquisite antiques and period paintings; the only difference between then and now being the addition of the latest in contemporary technology and comfort.

On our first evening gather on the balcony to enjoy a welcome feast by our acclaimed in house chef while enjoying the retreats first Positano sunset. Friendships will have already formed by the time day transforms into night and reveals the glittering spectacle of the village lights cascading down the cliffside.

Al fresco morning yoga will be relished on the villa grounds in the most heavenly studio nature ever created. Daily breakfast is served on the terrace, yet another opportunity to take in this unparalleled view before descending into the cobbled laneways of one of the worlds most lust-worthy towns.

On retreat you will learn to cook 'Nonna approved' authentic Italian cuisine in the Villa's very own cooking school. Afterwards we'll toast each other and dine on the fruits of our labour.

Day trips are available upon request and you can leave the planning to us. Why not go on a boating adventure or visit the most famous vineyard in the region, Mariso Cuaomo Winery where the vines cling to vertical rock face jutting out of the sea of Furore. We tour the 'cellar cave' carved into the rock wall and prepare to taste wines which hold ancient wine making secrets and noble grapes blessed by the magic of the Amalfi Coast.

There is plenty of opportunity to explore the local area your way. A short ferry trip away is the cosmopolitan town of Sorrento for great shopping and sightseeing. The ancient city of Pompeii is only 35kms from the Villa, the Isle of Capri with its natural spectacle the blue grotto is just 20 minutes by boat. Ravello known as 'the city of music' is also close by. It's medieval streets and vibrant cultural scene make it a must see on any Amalfi Coast Itinerary.

  • Emily Spurling

Recognised as an expert in her field, Emily has garnered much acclaim from her viewership on www.fmtv.com where she appears alongside other industry leaders including Deepak Chopra, Wayne Dyer and Dr Bruce Lipton to name a few.

    With a decade of teaching experience under her belt Emily is also an eternal student of yoga globally with formal training in Hatha and Vinyasa flow.

This 'fusion' style is the perfect blend of light and shade, one flow will have you generating heat and building lean muscle and the next will have you blissing out in a slow, opening restorative sequence.

    “I love watching the profound effect yoga has on my students, a transformation takes place from the moment they step on to the mat to when their eyes open after Savasana. Yoga has been invaluable in my life as a mum of two young children and also in my previous corporate job. Whatever your situation, yoga can help you navigate the roller coaster that is life. It is my pleasure to share this gift with you.”
