Navakaraṇa Retreat
Nitrodi Thermal Relais · Ischia, one of the oldest SPA in the world
Set within the serene hills of Ischia, Nitrodi Thermal Relais welcomes an intimate Navakaraṇa retreat designed for deep regeneration, presence, and inner alignment.
Navakaraṇa Vinyasa is a powerful, rhythmic, and meditative yoga practice rooted in ancient Indian tradition.
Through precise sequencing, breath control, rhythm and sound, the practice becomes a transformative ritual that refines awareness, awakens energy, and cultivates deep awareness of the body.
Guided by Daniela Vecchione, the retreat offers a focused exploration of Navakaraṇa fundamentals: refined alignment, ujjayi prāṇāyāma, and breath-led movement synchronized with rhythm.
Each sequence is marked by a percussion instrument that defines the tempo of every action.
Stillness is held with the mantra so’ham — “so” on the inhalation, “ham” on the exhalation — allowing meditation and movement to merge into one continuous flow.
At the heart of the experience are the Nitrodi thermal waters, flowing naturally at 28°C and revered since Roman times for their purifying and regenerative qualities. Rich in minerals, the waters support skin health, digestion, and internal balance, offering healing through immersion and direct intake.
The thermal area features cascading showers, private jacuzzis, and panoramic terraces immersed in Mediterranean nature. Herbal infusions and detoxifying tonics, prepared with Nitrodi spring water and local healing plants, are offered throughout the day.
Cuisine at Menippo’s Table, inspired by Greco-Roman tradition, is light, nourishing, and intentional — designed to support clarity, vitality, and balance.
Accommodation is provided within Nitrodi Thermal Relais, in fully equipped apartments surrounded by nature and with direct access to the thermal waters. Apartments are shared to encourage connection and community, with a maximum of two guests per room in single beds.
This retreat is designed for small groups seeking a refined, contemplative space to slow down, reconnect with the elements, and integrate movement, nature, and stillness.
