Nice to meet you!

  • Chiara Luna

    Ciao! My name is Chiara, I was born in the middle of the green heart of Italy; and I am a yoga instructor and retreat host in the charming town of Orvieto. My yoga journey began over a decade ago in India, where I was introduced to the transformative practice of Ashtanga yoga. From my first experience on the mat, I felt a profound connection not only to the physical discipline but also to the deeper mental and spiritual growth that yoga offers.

    Ashtanga, with its dynamic flow and structured sequences, taught me the importance of consistency, breath, and mindfulness. It’s a practice that challenges the body, centers the mind, and opens the heart. Over the years, I’ve woven elements of this practice into my teaching, creating a space where students of all levels can connect to their inner strength and presence.

    Hosting retreats in Orvieto allows me to merge my love for yoga with my passion for sharing Italy’s beauty, culture, and lifestyle. This retreats aren’t just about yoga; they are about immersing yourself in the rhythm of Italian life—enjoying authentic cuisine, discovering hidden gems, and experiencing Italy as a local. From wine tasting in the rolling hills of Umbria to cooking classes and mindful movement, my goal is to provide a balance of adventure, relaxation, and personal growth.

    I believe that yoga is more than just a practice—it’s a way of life, a journey of self-discovery, and a path to connection. Whether you’re stepping onto the mat for the first time or deepening an existing practice, “indulge in balance”retreats offers an opportunity to recharge, reset, and create lasting memories in one of the most beautiful regions in the world.

    I can’t wait to welcome you to this incredible experience!

    My yoga journey began 20 years ago, and it has been a transformative path of self-discovery ever since. I'm passionate about sharing this journey with others through my yoga retreats.

    In 2013, I completed my teacher training in India, immersing myself in the roots of yoga practice. My teaching style is also informed by years of study with Anusara instructors. This background has given me a strong emphasis on proper alignment, which I believe enhances both safety and the mind-body connection. However, my heart truly belongs to the dynamic and meditative practice of Ashtanga yoga.

    I'm also an avid traveler, and I've found that both yoga and exploration are powerful tools for self-discovery. I've combined these passions in my retreats, along with my experience and enthusiasm for holistic health, offering you the chance to deepen your yoga practice while experiencing new cultures and landscapes.

    When I travel, I find I learn as much about myself as I do about the places I'm visiting. I'm thrilled to create spaces where you can embark on this dual journey of inner and outer exploration.

    Our retreats are more than just yoga getaways—they're invitations to connect with yourself, with others, and with the world around us. Whether you're new to yoga or a seasoned practitioner, I strive to offer a unique opportunity for you to grow, learn, and find your own path to self-knowing.

    I look forward to connecting with you and sharing the transformative power of yoga and travel. Your journey awaits!
