Join Moon Body creatress, Miriam Ropschitz, for the retreat of a lifetime: a haven of peace and beauty in the Puglian countryside where your days are filled with healing yoga, organic food, sunshine & feminine wisdom. Voted one of the World's Best Yoga Retreats, La Rosa dei 4 Venti is a stunning environment where everything is taken care of for you. Every second of every day is for you; your yoga practice, your health, your pleasure... the nourishment of your feminine energy.
In this harmonious environment, you are called to remember yourself as a woman: to come back home to your deepest essence, reawaken the sensuality and pleasure of your body, still your mind and rest in the sacred wisdom that is yours by birthright. As the stunning Puglian countryside around us erupts in its fullest bloom, so do we. This is a unique opportunity to combine deep healing work and ancient feminine wisdom in a retreat setting.
Our 7 days of practice lead us through the lands of the wild woman, creating space for you to release the pressures and conditioning of daily life to return to your embodied wholeness. La Rosa dei 4 Venti is a tranquil, rustic paradise far from the man-made stresses of daily life.
Cocooned among ancient trees, medicinal herbs and fragrant shrubs, you’ll discover the practices of the yogini: the woman dedicated to awakening.
These practices are designed to reawaken shakti, to activate your breath and guide you to remember your power in this world. Far more than a retreat, Bloom is an invitation to remember the wild woman within and rediscover ways to weave her wisdom and power into every day.
Living in a world designed for the masculine takes it toll on us. We find that we've been squeezing ourselves in to linear life – and the effects are tiredness, disconnection and a deep yearning for softness. Bloom creates this. Although there are structured morning and afternoon practice times and meal times, I've left plenty of free time and space for you to read by the pool, stroll in the gardens, relax in a hammock or enjoy an aromatherapy massage.
The feminine needs ample moments of softness, stillness and sensuality in order to recharge. At Bloom this understanding is built into every day. La Rosa dei Venti holds a very high frequency, which allows for deep healing work. Our daily practices are designed to lovingly open your body up, to increase connection with your breath and subtle energy in order for healing to happen. The natural environment and peace of the centre support these healing intentions and you'll find yourself effortlessly returning to that deep and sacred place within.
The practices shared through Bloom Miriam teaches in all her programmes and courses: Women's Yoga, Energy Work, Breath work, Tantric embodiment, sound healing and so much more! Our time together includes two women's workshops: Moon Magic and The Sacred Root. These are practices that you can take home with you and are guaranteed to bring more feminine fullness to your life.

Morning is a dynamic women's yoga practice, followed by a gentle restorative practice in the afternoon.
Experience two of Moon Body's signature workshops: Moon Magick and the Jade Root (Beginners jade egg workshop.)
Every day begins with Moon Body's signature yoga practice. This is classical Vinyasa Yoga with menstrual cycle awareness. These morning classes vary depending on where you are in your cycle. By practising in harmony with our menstrual cycle, we begin to understand our cyclical nature in an embodied way and let go of the habit of pushing our bodies when we’re tired, which creates stress and tension. Instead of hyper-focus on alignment, we tune into how our body feels. These classes are sensual, deep and a lot of fun!
Every day begins with meditation. Learning how creating a balance between still, silent practices and dynamic movement practices is one effective way of harmonising the balance between our inner-masculine and feminine energy. Breathwork will be an important part of our morning practice. Many of our bodily and mental tensions can be dissolved by therapeutic application of pranayama.
Our afternoon sessions are a more gentle exploration of yogic and tantric practices. Each afternoon will be a complement to the morning practice. We’ll explore Yoga Nidra, YIN Yoga, Healing Sound. Qigung and more. These sessions will not be physically demanding and instead be healing, relaxing, meditative and restorative.
During the retreat Miriam will share two of Moon Body's signature workshops: Moon Magick & the Jade Root. Moon Magick is all about women's connection to the moon and their menstrual cycle. The Jade Root is an introduction to how the jade egg practice works to reconnect women to the sensual power of their lower body. (In this introductory workshop the jade egg will not be used internally!)
