Vibrant Life: A yoga retreat to Sardinia!

with Julie Dohrman and Peter Goodman :: Sept. 13th - 20th, 2025

Soft Heart, Sharp Mind, Vibrant Body: Sardinia!

SEPTEMBER 13th – 20th, 2025

Julie and Peter team up again, this time to Soul Valley, on the southern coast of Sardinia, Italy

Sardinia is the second largest island in the Mediterranean sea and has been called “the place that belongs to nowhere” with its endless unspoiled beaches, exquisite turquoise sea, and interesting and mysterious history. Julie and Peter create exceptional yoga retreats focusing on deepening practice and gathering amazing people together, with plenty time for relaxation and daring adventure. Join them on their 5th retreat!

EARLY REGISTRATION IS OPEN!

THE RETREAT

The tranquil atmosphere of Soul Valley offers perfect conditions for a complete recharge, with the sea facing pool, cleansing saunas, nearby white sandy beaches, and clear starry nights. Located in the south of the island, Soul Valley runs on solar power with incredible accommodations fully immersed in nature and is committed to preserving the natural beauty of the land. You’ll feel both at home and on vacation at the same time.

Meals are chef made and farm fresh, vegetarian, and all included on this retreat. Enjoy two meals a day and an afternoon snack or vitamin shot.


Soul Valley offers a large pool with an incredible view, lounge beds and deck chairs, and a full service Spa complete with turkish bath, Finnish and infrared sauna, and therapy room for massages. Soul Valley also has plenty of walking and nearby hiking trails and a secret meditation spot.


THE YOGA

The yoga hall is fully equipped with mats and props for two daily classes.

Your yoga classes will be geared toward exploring and growing your practice through the lens of cultivating a soft heart, sharp mind, and vibrant body – inspired by Sardinia being one of only a few Blue Zone’s, where vibrant living is built into every day. Morning practices with Julie will be upbeat and energizing to prepare for your day. Evening classes will include meditation, more low-key practice, and nourishing restoratives with Peter.

Julie and Peter are long time friends sharing a background as certified Anusara yoga teachers. You can expect to get expert attention to detail, intelligent sequencing, thoughtful themes, all in a lively communal atmosphere.

Our retreats are always all levels. Anyone is welcome regardless of previous yoga experience, and you do not need to be athletic, flexible, or injury free. All classes are progressive, and curated to the group.

Soul Valley is a Conscious Boutique Hotel, boasting luxurious but sustainable rooms decorated with heart, soul, and all natural materials.

Rooms are shared and can be configured with a king bed, or two separate beds. Solo travelers who prefer a private space can enjoy a supersized bed.

Cagliari, Sardinia’s capital

ABOUT SARDINIA

Sardinia is uniquely sophisticated with its own language and culture and embodies the very essence of Mediterranean life. There are numerous historical and archaeological sites to see in the region, with the famous mysterious stone dwellings called Nuraghi scattered throughout the island.

Sardinia is also one of the five designated “Blue Zones” where locals create lifestyles that blend with their surroundings to facilitate more vibrant health, integration with nature, and community connection. Our 7 day retreat will focus on the practice of yoga to create a more vibrant and healthy life, in body, heart, and mind.

Soul Valley is just a few km from the azure Mediterranean Sea and glorious white sandy beaches.  There’s plenty to do and see!  You can visit the many famous archaeological sites, natural parks, or explore the ancient city of Cagliari, the capital of Sardinia with its Italian shops, museums and restaurants.

PLANNING YOUR RETREAT AND GETTING THERE

Most frequent daily flights to Sardinia are from Milan. Fly to Cagliari International Airport in Sardinia’s capital, which is about 45 minutes drive to Soul Valley, near the village of Torre delle Stelle.

While on retreat, you’ll have the option between classes to explore medieval towns, ancient sites, and nearby beaches. Midweek, you’ll have a full day free after morning practice.

Soul Valley is an alcohol free and non smoking boutique hotel with nearby towns offer great restaurants. Check in is 3pm, check out is 10am.

We recommend renting a car to get to and from the airport, and enjoy exploring Sardinia. We also highly recommend purchasing travelers insurance for extra piece of mind!
