This Tuscany retreat is open to anyone interested in psychophysical learning with the three disciplines: Alexander Technique, Breath-Centered Yoga, and Ayurveda. This is a unique opportunity to work with highly skilled teachers in a community setting. All with decades of experience, the faculty is an ensemble of teachers who are long-term friends.
We aim to create an intensive learning experience. There will be group sessions as well as individual lessons. Related studies will offer optional classes such as Movement Skills, Freeing the Natural Voice, Performance Anxiety (stage fright), How Best to Work at Your Computer, Walking, and more…
This year marks our 46th Annual Retreat (all starting in 1979 in Ojai, California), which has proven to be an excellent introduction to anyone new to this work. People studying will find the support they need to clarify and deepen their work. Participants considering becoming teachers of the Alexander Technique, or Yoga will benefit from working with teachers from several training courses and teaching traditions.
So, bring your love for learning, your curiosity for creating more health and wellness in your life, and your spirit of adventure to Villa Ducci July 1-6, 2024, overlooking the beautiful walled city of San Gimignano.
