Details
9-13th September 2026 Puglia is a place shaped by stone, sun, and sea. Ancient olive trees line the horizon, whitewashed towns rise from the landscape, and the air feels both grounding and expansive. It’s a setting that holds a quiet power -one that leaves space for you to arrive, notice, and just be. Travel to Puglia with Tanja for a 4-night yoga retreat that offers renewal in every sense. Grounded daily practice, nourishing surroundings, and a change of rhythm open the way to reset and recharge. THE VENUE Masseria Specula is an eco-yoga, wellness & art retreat centre nestled in the countryside of Puglia, Italy. It's situated on 20 hectares of private land, just a fifteen-minute walk from the Ionian Sea for a relaxing swim. The venue blends centuries-old architecture with thoughtful touches: restored historic masseria style, terraced gardens, both indoor and outdoor dining & event spaces, and plenty of private nooks surrounded by olive groves and nature. The kitchen is run by local women who use recipes passed down through generations, sourcing seasonal produce from nearby fields. Meals here are both an homage to Puglian tradition and a delicious kind of ritual. The Masseria also takes sustainability seriously, from solar power and land conservation to planting trees and avoiding single-use plastic, so your stay feels restorative for you and respectful to the land. TANJA MICKWITZ Tanja is a Soul Guide and Mentor, Astrologer and Tarot Reader, Storyteller and Celebrant, Yoga Teacher Trainer, and Journey Dance facilitator. She has nearly 20 years of experience teaching and holding space for transformative practices. Known for her authentic voice and loving presence, Tanja holds a sacred container for welcoming ourselves into wholeness. Tanja says, “It is my absolute favourite thing to lead retreats! I love being on a journey through practice and shared experience together, I feel it opens up such a beautiful space for both togetherness and inner growth.”
