3. Creating the Life You Want
Trevi (yoga balancing everyday life and nature)
Creating the life you want includes finding a balance between the faster-paced everyday life and the absolute tranquility of nature that is essential for living well. Trei is the perfect town to find balance because it is a very small medieval hamlet surrounded by nature: you can stroll around town or walk among the olive groves. Yoga classes take place either poolside, in nature, or indoors in a medieval cantina. Breakfast included.
