This Fall ESCAPE TO SHAPE takes you on a magical journey through Sicily. Each session is limited to a maximum of 24 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.
