About La Bella Vita Retreat

La Bella Vita Yoga & belly dance retreat is designed to remind you that you already occupy the seat of your own power. Through the teachings of yoga we will discover our true nature, along with the connection we share with everyone and everything. Daniel Salerno will lead you down this auspicious path of union with the source.

We will be staying in the southern heel of Italy located in the province of Vieste. Accommodation is provided at the RESIDENZA COLLINA DEI PINI, a beautiful hotel on the coast of Italy. In this peaceful space we will enjoy the transformative teachings of yoga and experience the freedom of self-expression through dance.

About Daniel

DAILY YOGA

We will be teaching a Hatha Yoga,
with specific Anusara influence.
We will practice Asana,
Pranayama breathing,
meditation,
proper alignment,
and intensive study of the Yamas,
Niyamas and Partner Yoga.

Build a yoga practice that flows with Grace and says YES to the whole magical spectrum of life. This yoga series, with specific Anusara influence, will be taught in 5 parts; Asana (physical postures), Pranayama (breathing exercises), Dhyana (Meditation or unbroken mental focus), scriptural study of the yamas/niyamas (Social and Personal ethics), and partner yoga (a practice of connection with others). These 5 parts are meant to spark a realization of our true nature, which we so easily forget as individual beings. Join us down this path of uniting mind, body, and spirit.

Blessings!

Adelaide Marcus : Belly Dance & Partner Yoga Instructor

About Adelaide

BELLY DANCE SERIES

Inner Discovery through Outer Movement
Awakening your Serpent Spine in the exploration of the chakras

This series taught by Adelaide concentrates on combining Belly Dance with the practice of inner discovery. Each class will concentrate on the chakras along the spine, from root to crown. Adelaide teaches how moving and spiraling in harmony with these psycho-spiritual energy centers will assist in unlocking the coiled snake that lies at the base of our spine referred to as “Kundalini.” In the yogic philosophy of ancient India, “Kundalini” represents untapped potential energy, that when unlocked will take you on a journey of sensory awakening. Adelaide shares a mixture of spoken knowledge, visualizations, and movement, in the exploration of dance as a type of meditative practice in motion. Students will discover breakthroughs in their technique, as the series aims to make you a more fluid, grounded, and expressive dancer, while helping you move through the inner and outer obstacles to living your highest potential.
