Inside we can find a spacious room, finely decorated with wonderful period frescoes; if needed it will be used for our Yoga and Meditative activities.
Yes, because when the weather allows us, we prefer to be outdoors: there is no shortage of space here, we have a wonderful cloister and a lush garden all around the structure. Alternatively, comfortable gazebos especially set up can be used for practicing Yoga sheltering us from the summer rain, without having to give up contact with mother nature. The ancient church, now deconsecrated, is available for various activities.
Inside you can find the magic of history, through a blissful silence that only the atmosphere of ancient times can help us to re- live. A fantastic opportunity for Yoga and group meditation, without neglecting the possibility of guaranteeing truly intimate and personal moments.

Stress can play a part in problems such as high blood pressure, headaches, heart problems, skin problems, diabetes, breathing problems, depression, and anxiety, to name a few. Why deal with all of these illnesses when we offer a solution?
Yoga can bring joy to your soul and give yourself a unique sense of lightness.
You will learn meditation techniques, breathing exercises, asanas & postures. By having experience on our yoga retreats in Italy, whenever you need to access the “yoga calm”, you can then go on to practice on your own.
During our yoga retreats, there will be two traditional Hatha yoga classes daily. The morning class is usually stronger and moves at a quicker pace with an emphasis on building strength. The afternoon class is normally a slower, restorative practice
It is becoming very difficult to find time to feel relaxed and not prioritizing self-care in our confused lifestyles. Yoga gives you a unique sense of lightness by removing you from your monotonous daily routine, brings joy to your soul, and transport you to the calm environs of beach life along the shores of the Adriatic Sea & Monastery life at San Girolamo, Frontino.

Its beaches extend for about 7 km and here you can relax with peace of mind, knowing that you are in a safe place.

The venue used during this yoga teacher training is located around 20 meters from the beach, not so far from Rimini Malatesta old town and the famous small Country; “San Marino Republic” . It is located within the 2/3 stars Hotel Yoga City , Hotel Arno and Hotel Silvia, in Misano Adriatico Beach, that was a Roman settlement since the 3rd century AD, when a Gens Mesia received lands in the area and gave their name to the place. In 997 AD the Pieve di Sant’Erasmo, one of the most ancient churches in the province, was built, and from 1295 to 1528 Misano was a dominion of the Malatesta, who built a castle whose tower and entrance are still extant. After 1528 it became part of the Church State until 1861, when it was included in the kingdom of Italy.
In 1862 the name was changed to Villa Vittoria then in 1935 became Misano Adriatico. Traditionally for long centuries an agricultural center, in the 1930’s underwent a growing tourist development along the coast, as well as offering access to nearby medieval villages.
