Yoga retreat and Chiusi


    The Siliana Alta ("high hill") is the name of the villa that Julian and Amanda have restored on the border of Tuscany and Umbria.  They worked very hard to provide a comfortable, beautiful place for their art students to enjoy the art classes they offer.  Enter Erin Lewis, a friend who is an extraordinary yoga instructor and they teamed up to provide yoga retreats like no other.  Maria and I enjoyed an incredible week of camaraderie, excellent vegetarian meals, day trips to Florence, Siena, Cortona, Citta  Della Pieve and our favorite Panicale.  I've already showed you some photos of Panicale and the gorgeous sunsets from the house looking into Tuscany, but I haven't shown you the best photo of all....every night before dessert, Erin would put on appropriate music and "planking" would ensue.  The test would be who could endure it the longest.

As the week progressed, they managed to work themselves up to almost 4 minutes.  I gave up after the first night!
