In the HEART
of TUSCANY –
between PISA
and FLORENCE
Be transported on this 4-night retreat to the picturesque landscapes of Tuscany for a journey of replenishment, creativity, and wander during this magical summer retreat. Join cousins, Souljourn Yoga Foundation founder, Jordan Ashley and sound and breathwork practitioner, Allison Bagg, as they guide you through morning and evening movement and sound journeys focused on ritual and restoration. Our mornings will culminate with an energizing yoga flow (led by Jordan) inspired on the elements, while Allison will create evening soundscapes filled with guided meditations, alchemy crystal singing bowls and other meditative instruments. Included in the tuition to this retreat is a 285€ donation to Souljourn Yoga’s On the Ground Yoga Teacher Training Program (currently in Rwanda and Morocco), which empowers local women to teach yoga so that it can be accessible to everyone and anyone and adapted to serve global communities.
Alongside this nourishing retreat, we offer an array of additional activities and experiences. These include immersive workshops in the Villa Lena flower garden and the artists’ studios, 2x daily yoga and sound sessions, farm-to-table dining experiences, and even a hands-on Tuscan pasta-making workshop. All of these activities take place in the enchanting setting of Villa Lena, where guests can enjoy luxurious accommodations with views of the charming pink villa, take a dip in the heated pool, explore the mystical woodlands, and explore the artists’ studios for a delightful aperitivo.
All set within the grounds of Villa Lena, 500 hectares of wild Tuscan nature.
Villa Lena creates its own unique universe, blending rich cultural heritage with contemporary vibrancy, offering an exceptional setting for an immersive, hands-on experience. Amidst striped parasols and wild fennel, discover tranquil hideaways where you can unwind, savor Villa Lena’s rosé during the artist aperitivo, or lose yourself in a captivating book by the pool.
Our guests will find resplendent rooms with magnificent views of the picturesque Tuscan hills. The program provides abundant opportunities for exploration and personal reflection, allowing you to fully enjoy Villa Lena’s amenities, including a heated pool and a peaceful yoga studio.
Prices begin at €2,149.00 per person, encompassing a four-night stay with full board and all planned activities. Any additional beverages and extras will be conveniently billed to your room.

While embracing New York City’s fast-paced yoga culture, Jordan Ashley (MA Human Rights and PhD candidate) recognized a need for a more service-based practice; a need for experiences which give perspective to the self through selflessness.Drawing on her experience of travel and of being a full-time yoga teacher, she created Souljourn Yoga Foundation in 2016 as an avenue for the practitioner who wants more than a yoga retreat. She anchored it in the desire to expand equal education across the globe. Feeling extremely blessed to be given the opportunity for education and to have a voice in society, she felt it was imperative to raise both awareness and funds for young women who are denied such essential human rights. Jordan is an activist, writer, yoga teacher, and Tedx speaker whose work has been featured by Forbes, the Los Angeles Times, Marie Claire UK, and more.
