Waking up early with Pranayama and introduction to basic techniques, yoga practice and we will sail to Panarea, once we arrive we will have a nice swim and lunch in one of its coves, then explore the main village, characterised by cobbled streets and white houses, where you can stop for an ice cream or a coffee. We will position ourselves at cala Junco where we will wait for the sunset and greet the sun.

Towards evening we will all have an aperitif together and whoever wants can spend the rest of the evening on the island.

In the morning Pranayama and activating practice, then we discover Stromboli with a walk combining adventure and natural beauty. We begin our afternoon by exploring the charming village of Stromboli, with its white houses and alleyways, where we can stroll together and purchase island handicrafts. We continue our adventure with a visit to Strombolicchio beach, an idyllic spot with crystal-clear waters and a spectacular view of the volcanic islet. If we have time, we venture to the famous Sciara del Fuoco to get a closer look at the breathtaking views and spectacular eruptions of the Stromboli volcano, a unique experience that only a few are privileged to experience.

In the evening, practice on the Hindu Pantheon figures and focused meditation.

Activating pranayama and warrior practice, then we sail to Salina. We start our day at Pollara with a nice swim and lunch on board, then head towards the centre of Salina with a walk through the characteristic villages of Lingua and Santa Marina, where we can admire the traditional colourful houses and quiet streets. In Lingua, we cannot miss the opportunity to taste the famous caper 'granita', a local delicacy that will help us discover an authentic side of the island.

For those who wish, it will be possible to take a walk to the crater of the Fossa delle Felci volcano, the highest point on the island, for a breathtaking panoramic view, before dinner meditation and guided relaxation.

We have a balancing lunch and set off to discover Filicudi, a wild and fascinating island where the unspoilt nature and authentic atmosphere will provide us with an unforgettable experience. Once we arrive, we immediately immerse ourselves in the beauty of the island with a visit to the village of Pecorini a Mare, a small fishing village that welcomes us with its rustic charm and traditions that are still alive. Here we can take a pleasant, meditative walk along the coast and afterwards stop at a local bar for an aperitif, enjoying the view of the crystal clear sea.

In the afternoon, we head to the Grotta del Bue Marino, one of Filicudi's most famous natural wonders. We will sail together to the cave, where we can admire the incredible rock formations and, weather permitting, dive into the turquoise waters for a snorkelling experience.

Before evening, dynamic practice and some meditation, then a meal of local specialities.

Pranayama and chakra practice, we sail to the island of Vulcano, a unique place in the heart of the Aeolian Islands. Our adventure begins with an excursion to the Gran Crater, where, once at the top, we are rewarded with a breathtaking view of the entire archipelago. After the ascent, we relax in the famous mud baths, soaking in the natural pools rich in beneficial minerals, followed by a bath in the sulphurous waters for a rejuvenating experience.

In the afternoon, we head to the Black Sands Beach, where we can relax on the characteristic volcanic sand and dive into the clear waters. If the sea still beckons, we explore the island's hidden caves and coves, such as the Horse Cave and the Pool of Venus. In the evening we practise Vinyasa, some relaxing Pranayama and Yoga Nidra.

Early in the morning we practise the elements of meditation, then we leave the boat in the morning, for those who want to can take the ferry back, otherwise we enjoy the rest of the day at a beach, one of the most recommended is the White Beach, or you can visit the centre, St Bartholomew's Cathedral and the Castle.

We say goodbye with an aperitif offered by the skipper.
