Rhonda is thrilled to be sharing yoga with you in Tuscany!
She is inspired by her students and continues to find the awe and beauty of yoga with a beginner's mind...always endeavoring to "keep her cup empty" and be receptive to what is happening in each moment. Her classes are an eclectic mix of styles and influences, usually with a focus on alignment, ease of mind, curiosity, breath awareness, and yoga philosophy.
Rhonda is an Ayurvedic Health Consultant and loves to share the ancient teachings of this elegant "Science of Life" based on the five elements.
She is delighted to share yoga with others to further ignite the vast joy and wonder of this beautiful art form.

Mike and Gloria would love to share this fantastic overseas trip with you! Experience Italy's philosophy of dolce vita— savoring the beauty of the world and celebrating life's abundant joys.
We find these destinations chosen by "True Nature Travels" to be REALLY special for their great accommodations, careful planning and attention to detail. The Tuscany retreat is their most popular! "True Nature Travels" is owned by yogis and they have been organizing trips for over 21 years. They find GREAT activities, seamlessly planned, and even provide transportation from the Florence airport and back again.
Yoga is a rewarding part of the trip, but mainly we will be enjoying good company and exploring Tuscany.

Buon viaggio
Mark Twain said the best learning opportunity is to travel, and he wasn't joking. Many things we take for granted are flipped upside down in other countries. At first it seems weird and a little crazy and then you see, well, their way works, too!

A Get-Away Location...
Do you desire a real vacation away from it all? Come and join us! Need a change of routine and scenery? Well, here you go? Don't want the trouble of planning a trip. Let us do it for you. Do you have some Italian heritage? Come with us and awaken your inner Italian.
| | | | | We do leave our reclusive villa and do some sight seeing! Volterra is a beautiful walled mountain-top town that we will be visiting on one of our excursions. It's history goes as far back as the 8th cent. BC, and it has structures from the Etruscans, Romans and the medieval era. | | Enjoy Nature: explore the trails, hiking in scenes of green, passing productive vineyards, rest in the shade and hear unfamiliar bird songs. | | Beautiful Landscapes and architecture | | We are in a remote area of Tuscany, 15 miles from the nearest village, but we do have excursions to two cities: Volterra and Siena. | | Siena was an important city in medieval Europe, and its historic centre is a Unesco World Heritage site which contains several buildings from the 13th and 14th centuries. The University of Siena was founded in 1240 and is still enrolling and graduating students! The city also has the oldest bank in the world, the Monte dei Paschi, which has been operating continuously since 1472. | | Why Pick True Nature Travels | | |

Costa Rica filled up 6 months ahead, so NOW is the time to consider this. Sign up before June 15 for $300 off. You might picture busy cities and crowded streets, but our vacation villa is 15 miles from the nearest village. It is a remote location with beautiful hiking trails, wonderful accommodations and the transport to and from the Florence airport is included. If you want to spend time in Florence, plan to go early or stay late. This trip includes excursions to visit the Medieval towns of Siena and beautiful Volterra, but not Florence.
