Join Chloe Baio & Janet Gooding for a week of sparking joy under the Tuscan Sun!
Nothing says JOY more than summer in Italy! Guided by Chloe & Janet, this retreat embodies all things LA DOLCE VITA. We will spend our days immersed in meaningful movement, nature, Italian culture, and great company. We couldn’t think of a better recipe for joy!
We’ll be staying at the most chic, restored 13th-century villa and farm, nestled inside an evergreen forest and overlooking the rolling Tuscan Hills. Run by the sweetest family who has been running retreats for decades, you will embrace Italy’s oldest traditions. Think pasta making, wandering through medieval towns, wine tasting, and maybe an afternoon spritz or gelato when you’re not lounging by the pool. This is your ultimate escape to restore balance, where yoga meets culture and history.
Together, we will unwind, reconnect, and “retreat” ourselves. We love yoga, we love to travel, and we love creating the kind of joy that only happens on a retreat!
Your Teachers & Hosts
Chloe & Janet are yogis, teachers, and lovers of life.
You’ll be going on retreat with Chloe & Janet, both leos, which means you are going to have the time of your life! The peak of summer in Italy is their dream retreat. These two are dedicated teachers, forever students, and truly embody what it means to have a practice rooted in joy.
Chloe is a Yoga & Pilates teacher and the founder of The Space in Bath. She treats joy as the method, not just the result. Her classes are rooted in Katonah Yoga® Vinyasa and her contemporary dance background. Her teaching of Yoga is a deep exploration of body, movement + breath, with classes that are musically-driven, creative and playful. You’re in for a treat!
Janet is a mama, teacher, and co-founder of Nectar. She has been teaching internationally for over a decade and aims to lead classes that are inclusive, inventive and inspiring. Her classes are challenging yet accessible and grounded yet imaginative. With a love for music, each class is wrapped in an uplifting soundtrack, with a dabble of mantra, and always embodied in love. You will leave Janet’s classes feeling a new inner strength and inspired to slow down.
Besides being dedicated teachers, these two just love to have FUN! They are down to earth humans who are simply the best travel companions. They believe the best escape is all about balance on and off the mat. Expect to be fully immersed in the practice, nourished with a spice of adventure and a side of Aperol spritz!
We can’t wait to hang out with you!
The Destination
Our restored estate is located in Tuscany, Italy, a quintessential destination, overlooking the rolling Tuscan Hills.
Ebbio Estate is within easy reach of nearby cities, including Siena (10km) and Florence (45km), and a short walk from Monteriggioni, in the heart of the region of Tuscany, renowned for its picturesque landscapes and heritage. We love our daily walks here!
Our villa is stunning and has been so beautifully curated by the family that owns it. With a spacious indoor yoga shala, outdoor patio, a stunning pool, and uniquely designed rooms with earthly colours and windows to enjoy the views. There are plenty of zen spaces to relax and unwind, whether it’s sunbathing, reading or stargazing, you will feel completely at ease.
The magical location offers seclusion and wanderlust, surrounded by rolling hills and provides a true sanctuary in which to escape the pressures of busy life and explore the sights and sounds of this beautiful country.
The villa dedicates itself to the organic cultivation of olive trees, vineyards, fruit, vegetables and herbs, which are used to prepare farm-to-table meals daily. You will be nourished beyond belief!
The Organic Farm
Just like yoga, a good meal nourishes all the senses and brings people together.
Tuscany and food, that's a love story of its own, and we would never come to Italy without doing it justice. We are foodies at heart, and our retreats pour as much love into the meals as the practices. Which is exactly why Ebbio feels like it was made for us.
This is how we eat: organic, communal meals, on an outdoor patio, Tuscan hills as far as the eye can see, and served with wine made onsite. This is dining as it was always meant to be. Ebbio's philosophy is simple: food is medicine. Everything on your plate is certified organic, vegetarian, and grown almost entirely on-site, because the farm is right outside your door. We’ll even do a sweet little farm tour! The chefs use family recipes and cook with the seasons, letting the land lead the way, weaving together Mediterranean classics with vibrant new creations that are as nourishing as they are delicious.
We believe a retreat is only as good as the food and Ebbio does it like no other. Please let us know on your booking form if you have any allergies or dietaries.
Find Balance
Some spaces just feel different the moment you step inside them.
Ebbio has been a home for healing since it was restored in the 1980s, and that energy lives in every corner of this place, including the shala. You'll feel connected to tradition, to the practice, and to something hard to put into words. This space holds the kind of energy that accumulates over time where people have shown up, again and again, to slow down, practice, and do the work.
The space is drenched in hardwood floors, earthy tones, and a modern-rustic feel that invites you to go deeper, to settle in, to actually arrive. The natural surroundings pour in from every angle, making the boundary between practice and landscape beautifully blurred. Inside and outside, all at once.
This is where the magic of our practices will unfold.
Yoga Styles
Dynamic Yoga Flow
Chloe and Janet both teach dynamic yoga practices grounded in intelligent sequencing and modern wisdom to uplift the spirit. You can expect strong, alignment-based vinyasa practices drenched in joy. Our morning practices will be challenging and awakening, yet accessible for all levels.
Pilates
Chloe & Janet both teach Pilates, because variety is the spice of life! Similar to yoga, Pilates is a movement modality with the aim of developing precision and awareness in the body and mind. Expect to find stability, feel the burn and enjoy the process with great tunes!
Yin Yoga & Restorative
Our afternoon practices are an opportunity for reflection and stillness. We will share a mix of yin yoga, restorative, pranayama, and meditation. In yin & restorative, postures are typically lower to the ground and are held for longer periods to bring stillness and restoration to the body and mind. We believe in the balance, ease, and wholeness that these slower practices bring to students. We guide you into a state of rest and digest and facilitate deep relaxation.
Outdoor & Foodie Adventures
This retreat will be a cultural immersion in everything the area has to offer. We have planned some very special experiences that embody all things Tuscany! You'll start with a tour of the farm foraging for produce in the onsite organic vegetable garden, followed by a cooking lesson with Ebbio’s chef on making pasta and the local favourite, cantuccini. And maybe Tiramisu!
We love a day trip and our retreats offer the perfect opportunity to explore the local area. During the retreat, we will visit the historic city of Siena, where you can wander the cobblestone streets, go shopping and of course have a Gelato or Spritz!
We understand the importance of rest and exploration, so our retreats always ensure plenty of free time to relax and explore at your own pace. You can be a sun lizard by the pool, walk to the local town of Monteregioni, or read your book and nap! Tuscany is renowned for its rich culture and history, with nearby villages and vineyards. Every evening, we will unwind in the tranquillity of nature, playing cards, having a vino or simply watching the sunset.
