North Fork Yoga Shala Retreats

Here at North Fork Yoga Shala, in Greenport, we are really proud of our expanding offering of several retreats both near and far as well as the variety of workshops and trainings that we hold both with our own instructors and talented guest instructors and facilitators.

Our retreats, currently led pre-dominantly by Claire Copersino, our Founder and Director, span the globe, and range from a few wonderful days within driving or public transport distance to further afield in Mexico, Costa Rica, various locations in Europe, northern Africa and several in the planning stage that will be further afield.  It is often the case that once someone has joined one retreat, they catch the bug, so to speak, and attend another .. and another .. and another.  Don’t say you weren’t warned J

It is truly magical to watch new connections form on our retreats, new yoga-family bonds be created and very much a family vibe set in within the first 24 hours amongst our small, intimate groups wherever we may be calling home on our retreats.  These connections then grow once back home and you now know that person who was once just a face across the studio.   As a result the community and family feel of the studio just continues to deepen and expand and sweeps everyone who walks through our doors up into the glow.

Claire Copersino Yoga Retreats, trainings, and workshops are curated based upon suggestions from you as well as initiatives from our team of instructors and we always welcome your thoughts, ideas and feedback.

Salinara, Marsala, Sicily, Italy

May 1, 2027 @ 3:00 pm - May 8, 2027 @ 10:00 am

| $2200

Sicily is the largest island in the Mediterranean, located off the southern tip of Italy’s boot and is known for ancient ruins, distinctive cuisine and dramatic coastlines. On the unspoiled west coast of Sicily, just 500 metres from the Mediterranean Sea and close to Marsala old town, is Salinara Farm & Retreat Centre. Salinara is immersed in nature, along the Mediterranean Sea, surrounded by salt pans, olive groves and vineyards. The 18th century farmhouse has been welcoming groups for 20 years and features one of a kind comfortable accommodations, all with en-suite bathrooms and beautiful views over the vineyards and/or Mediterranean Sea. The large Yoga Shala is stocked with yoga props, mats, and bolsters so no need to BYO unless you want to. Salinaras chef serves up fresh, delicious farm-to-table meals, and there are 18 bicycles available to explore the seacoast bicycle path to work up your appetite.

 

Yumi & Adriano opened the doors of Salinara to welcome groups in 2009 after an extensive renovation of the 1790 farmhouse. Salinara is surrounded by farms, vineyards and alongside the Mediterranean Sea, which is home to one of the largest natural marine reserves in Europe. The property is oozing with natural charm and extraordinary beauty inviting guests to truly unwind, relax and regenerate through contact with the surrounding landscape while participating in daily yoga classes with Claire. Yumi’s passion for food and wine means Salinara is committed to providing the highest quality fresh food which comes mostly from their organic garden and surrounding farms. They are focused on a short supply chain and local products, not least their own extra virgin olive oil pressed from their own olive trees, their own wine as well as wines from vineyards close by (wine available for purchase on site).

Salinara is a one hour drive from Palermo International Airport, and just a 15 minute drive from Trapani airport. Some of the most significant archaeological sites in Europe are close by, including Marsala, Trapani, Lecce, Erice and the Egadi Islands. As always, I will organize several day trips, excursions and a cooking class (!) which you are free to join or not as you wish and last but certainly not least massages can be organized for those that choose.

 

 

Yoga classes will be held daily in the fully-stocked Yoga Shala every morning and several afternoons during our week and most importantly accessible to everyone. There is no one-size fits all in life or in Yoga – and so modifications are a must, scaling it up or down, as your body, mind and spirit guide you. Claire is an expert at creating an inclusive setting where all feel welcome and able to participate and receive benefit from their practice. Spouses/partners/friends who do not practice yoga are most welcome – you can join classes as much or a little as you choose – this is your trip to Sicily to make exactly as you choose.

 

Accommodations are unique and spacious, have a private entrance and are enhanced by natural lime-washed walls, handmade Majolica tiling as well as the modern conveniences of air-conditioning, kitchen or kitchenette and high-speed internet. There are 3 classic (most cost effective) rooms, 3 deluxe rooms, 3 junior suites and 2 suites available on a first-come, first-served basis.
