In October ESCAPE TO SHAPE takes you on a magical journey through Sicily. Each session is limited to a maximum of 20 guests, so that each person receives the attention & quality of service they deserve. Sicily's deep rooted history dates back to 735 BC. Home to the ancient ruins of Syracuse, the charming cobblestone streets of breathtaking Taormina and the highest active volcano in all of Europe, Mount Etna, whose magnetic energy will inspire daily Vinyasa yoga classes, hikes and Sunset body sculpting. Join us and experience the magnificent charm of this unique Island, which writers such as Homer, Goethe and D.H. Lawrence have illuminated throughout the ages; a combination of sea, countryside, Greek and Roman ruins, charming cobblestone streets and breathtaking natural beauty. Along with the cultural and natural wonders of the region, guests will enjoy relaxing massages and facials using volcanic products and savor the culinary delights that Sicily has become famous for, while learning to make these recipes at home, with a healthy ESCAPE TO SHAPE twist.
