La shala nel bosco
Casale Pundarika is an old rural property transformed into a residential retreat centre for yoga, meditation and related disciplines, offering slow and rejuvenating holiday experiences with the surrounding nature as the real protagonist.
A few decades ago, a family of the Tibetan Buddhist faith, looking for a location for spiritual retreats, found the perfect place for meditation here by virtue of the location, the special quality of silence of the surroundings and the purity of the air.
Surrounded by a beautiful Mediterranean forest and located in a place that has something magical about it, Casale Pundarika is a couple of kilometres from the village of Riparbella, in the maritime hills not far from the Etruscan coast.
A landscape of woods, olive groves, vineyards and a skilfully worked countryside reflecting Riparbella’s peasant origins will be the setting for our retreat. From the hills of the village, the view opens up to the sea, with the island of Elba and Capraia silhouetted on the horizon

Alice Preti
I am Alice and I am a certified Hatha Yoga, YinYoga and AcroYoga teacher.
I like climbing, cycling, I love the sea, getting lost in the woods, wild holidays in a van, simple things, fresh fruit and sunny days! I have always been passionate about sport and movement, and for several years now I have been curating activities related to Yoga, Acroyoga and other disciplines focused on the search for psychophysical well-being and interpersonal connection.
My passion for yoga began several years ago.
I started attending the very first classes because I was driven by a desire for inner research and a desire to get involved in order to approach a period of great change with a different perspective.
With the intense individual practice comes the desire to share the magic and benefits of yoga with others, and so I began attending various training courses and participating in retreats and in-depth seminars. When I practice and teach I like to take great care of the technical/anatomical aspect of the practice, without neglecting the perceptive aspect of the work we do on the mat.
Even behind the ‘simplest’ asana there is a world to discover that tells us so much about ourselves.
Through a strong listening to the body and the continuous search for cleanliness, control and presence in the movement we can achieve a deep knowledge and connection with ourselves.
Our body is our wonderful temple and should therefore be respected and kept in good health, both physical and mental.
