​Once you have registered for the trip, here are some considerations on how to customize your vacation.

Take note of the exact Yoga Retreat dates (April 23 to 26, 2026).  Feel free to build your own European vacation around this date.  You can arrive earlier in Europe (UK, France, other cities in Italy, etc.) and then make your way to Rome.  First day of class is April 23, 2026 so make sure you arrive at the appropriate time.  Alternatively, you can stay after the retreat and visit other places.


Share your expenses on the accommodations.  This could be a great way to dramatically bring down your costs.  Vacation with your friends or family during your free time but commit to the yoga retreat for the practice and the dinners.  If you are coming with another person who is not participating in the retreat, I have formulated a food package to include your companion so they get to experience the food adventure and not be left out on their own.  If you are coming solo, I may be able to team you up with another person to share the accommodations.


In Rome, we will be practicing at Zem Yoga Studio in the late afternoon.  Note the red pin on the map.  A few of the restaurants will be at Trastevere and Testaccio further South from the studio.  I highly recommend to choose your accommodations in those areas because you may want to freshen up or rest after class before coming out again for dinner.  You may have a one to two hour break before dinner.

Google Maps and Google Translate will be very useful.  Make sure you have the apps on your phone.  The buses and trams are very convenient for traveling and Google Maps provides very detailed traveling instructions.

It is a good idea to have some Euros on hand for small expenses like tipping, change for the bathrooms, etc.

If you enjoy museums, make sure you purchase your tickets for entry a few weeks in advance. Some museums get booked up a month in advance.  If you like tours, make sure to book those in advance too.

Search for YouTube videos on things to do and places to visit.  I found them very helpful as preparation on how to get around and where to go.
