This was more than a vacation. Spending a week with Aliya and others at La Rosa was truly inspiring. I thought I wanted a getaway from city life and found I needed the nourishment provided and created by Aliya. Come for what you think you want and stay for what you need. Simply amazing. - Sara

I attended my first ever retreat with Aliya in Puglia and it was more than I could have hoped for. Wonderful place with a true heart, fantastic teacher who inspired me to no end and a wonderful bunch of people to share an extraordinary experience with. Aliya provides the most approachable yoga that includes strength, playfulness, challenge and engagement. The style is varied and over the week always contained a connected concept to build skills. It’s exceptional. - Sue

This yoga retreat with Aliya was magnificent. From Aliya’s gifted teaching, clear instructions, compassionate inclusion of all levels, a sense of play and open-heartedness to the exquisite setting, I was deeply nourished in body, mind and spirit. Aliya’s values were sweetly complemented by the integrity and care provided by the incredible staff at La Rosa. What a rich week of deep self-care and replenishment. - Deb

Aliya made yoga fun and being in Italy with amazing women was empowering and nurturing for my soul. I feel rejuvenated and connected. - Nicole

Une retraite de yoga á La Rosa dei 4 Venti avec Aliya est un cadeau qu’on devrait s’offrir. On en ressort énergisé, physiquement et mentalement. L’endroit est fabuleux et l’enseignement adapté pour tous. - Renée

The perfect balance of yoga, food, fun & new friends. An absolutely superb week. I am so happy to do another retreat with you! I love your yoga teaching style and feel like a new person. - Dorothy

I loved the variety of both the meditation and the yoga sessions. It never got boring! Aliya read the different energy levels in the group and worked well with that. Highly recommend this retreat. - Kim

A thank you just does not seem an adequate phrase for what i feel just now, but in the absence of anything else it will have to do. I had no expectations (very unlike me) of what the week would entail, but to say I was blown away would be an understatement. I found the classes challenging but loved them anyway and achieved things I had previously not been able to do. I feel as though my body and soul have been nurtured and nourished in equal measure. Thank you, thank you, thank you. -Gillian
