In Sardinia, among the expanses of the Sardinian maquis, it is very easy to come across thyme plants.

Known since antiquity as a symbol of strength and courage, thyme hides numerous beneficial properties in its leaves.

Its essential oil is used to alleviate nausea, stomach pains, but also coughs and sore throats. It is an excellent anti-decongestant!

But its qualities do not end there. In fact, it is a formidable ally against free radicals and skin ageing. It is no coincidence that at the Villa Antonina holistic centre, thyme is one of the protagonists of our natural treatments.

A firefly seen by day looks like a common insect. A firefly seen at night looks like a beautiful star in the firmament.

This small wonder of nature inspires us to always believe in our own qualities to bring out the best in us.

Tittibhasana (firefly posture) is certainly not one of the easiest postures. However, it will allow you to challenge your body and mind by discovering their hidden potential.

This asana requires you to balance opposing forces: on the one hand you need a good amount of strength to support yourself on your hands and on the other hand you need to relax by bending forward suspended in the air.

Concentration is a fundamental aspect of Tittibhasana, as is the desire to push yourself beyond certain limits. Only in this way, just like a firefly, can you reach a new light.

Close your eyes and open your mind. Practising yoga is like standing in front of a mirror, where you can observe yourself for who you are without being distracted by the hubbub of everyday life.

Only by understanding your essence can you plan journeys to new horizons of life.

Gabriele Severini certainly needs no introduction. Here at Villa Antonina, he is now one of the family: ever since he chose Sardinia as his new home, he has often and gladly honoured us with his presence. And we are delighted to host his fantastic retreats!

So, could a new event with Gabriele Severini be missing in this 2023 that has just begun?

Of course not! The appointment with the master of 'Yoga of Breath' is set for 4 to 11 June 2023. Find out all the info and costs in the new article on our blog [link in story].

There are several reasons to spend a holiday at Villa Antonina. One above all is the beauty of the unspoilt nature that surrounds this little slice of paradise.

Have you ever seen a sunset like this? The fiery red light bewitches the eyes to warm the soul: there, where indescribable emotions are born.

The first series of Ashtanga yoga, also called Yoga Chikitsa, is considered a true therapy that serves to bring balance to the body and mind. 🧘🏽‍♀️

The asanas that characterise it are accessible to regular practitioners and can be an excellent starting point for improving one's practice.

Yoga Chikitsa consists of 75 asanas that can be completed in a maximum of two hours and is based on a series of positions that alternate so that the whole body works in a coherent manner.

The first series includes:

- sun salutations A
- sun salutations B
- standing postures
- seated postures
- closing positions

Although these are basic positions, it is always best not to improvise and to rely on an experienced master, such as our Laruga Glaser, who will soon return with an exciting new retreat at Villa Antonina. 🙏

Don't miss the upcoming events:

👉 Susanna Finocchi, 14-21 May 2023
👉 Gabriele Severini, 4-11 June 2023
👉 Laruga Glaser and David Friedriksson, 1-15 July 2023

In Yoga philosophy, Trikonasana, also called the 'triangle position', represents the three forces of nature: tamas (inertia), rajas (action) and sattva (harmony).

At the same time, it refers to the three dimensions that every human tries to achieve during their life journey: being, consciousness and bliss.

How best to realise this asana?

- Reach down and grab the big toe of your front foot
- The feet are closer together
- Keep the back foot at 90 degrees to the front foot

The next retreats to be held at Villa Antonina will be your chance to discover all the secrets of Ashtanga. Don't miss the upcoming events:

👉 Susanna Finocchi, 14-21 May 2023
👉 Gabriele Severini, 4-11 June 2023
