Benvenute/i al “Food & Yoga”, ecco il programma del weekend che si terrà in Toscana, dal 21 al 23 Marzo (2025)…

(Click here for the Program in English)

Gli eventi “Food & Yoga” sono degli incontri in cui si parla e si prepara assieme buon cibo di qualità, ma soprattutto lo si mangia in versione plant based.

Lo yoga si interseca con la cucina in una pratica sinergica che tende al ben-essere.
Stomaco, mente, movimento sono gli aspetti che fondano una vita sana: una volta per tutte!

COSA FAREMO

Cuciniamo assieme, pratichiamo yoga, passeggiamo nella natura, parliamo di cibo buono e che fa bene, ci rilassiamo davanti al caminetto! L’idea è quella di unire cibo, yoga e relax in un connubio perfetto e in una cornice idilliaca. 

DOVE

Villa Giusterna è un tipico casale nella bellissima campagna toscana: siamo a Bucine, in provincia di Arezzo.

“Il cibo plant based è cruelty free per sua natura, lo yoga è consapevolezza di sé e non performance” 

FOOD: Ai fornelli Simona Scarone

Personal Vegan Chef, con un passato da musicista! 

Dopo aver ideato, fondato e diretto il ristorante vegano “La Capra Campa”, ora si occupa di cucina per ritiri yoga, divulgazione e insegnamento di cucina naturale a base vegetale: corsi di cucina, show-cooking, percorsi-benessere. 

La sua idea di cucina plant based: adattare i classici della cucina italiana per chi, per motivi di salute o etici, voglia comunque godersi momenti speciali senza rinunciare alla prelibatezza.

YOGA: Al tappetino Silvia Maria Croce

Inizia a praticare yoga intorno al 2009, spinta da un profondo desiderio di equilibrare corpo e mente e dalla curiosità di esplorare nuove dimensioni del benessere.

Dopo anni di pratica e approfondimenti, il desiderio di condividere la sua esperienza e di approfondire ulteriormente la disciplina cresce in modo esponenziale, spingendola a intraprendere una formazione più completa.

Si considera un’eterna studentessa, consapevole che l’apprendimento e la crescita personale siano un percorso continuo. Apprezza particolarmente ciò che lo yoga le ha permesso di scoprire di sé stessa, sia attraverso pratiche dinamiche e stimolanti, sia attraverso quelle più lente e meditative.

Here’s the PROGRAM in English

Food & Yoga in Tuscany – March 21st to 23rd, 2025

The “Food & Yoga” events are gatherings where we talk about, prep and cook together, and, most importantly, eat good quality food: all plant-based.

Yoga intertwines with cooking in a synergistic practice that promotes well-being (like two peas in a pod). It’s all about finding balance: in your stomach, in your mind, and in your movements. These three things are the building blocks of a truly healthy life!

WHAT WE’LL DO

We’ll cook together, practice yoga, walk in nature, talk about ‘good’ food that’s ‘good’ for you, and relax by the fireplace! The idea is to combine food, yoga, and relaxation in a perfect blend, all in a lovely, idyllic setting.

WHERE

Villa Giusterna is a typical farmhouse in the beautiful Tuscan countryside: we’re in Bucine, in the province of Arezzo.

“Plant-based food is cruelty-free by nature, yoga is self-awareness and not performance.”

FOOD: THE CHEF

Simona Scarone, Personal Vegan Chef, with a professional classical music past!

After conceiving, founding, and directing her vegan restaurant “La Capra Campa,” the Chef is now dedicated to cooking for yoga retreats, where she sharing her love for natural plant-based food by teaching all about it in a variety of ways, including cooking classes, show-cooking, and wellness pathways.

Her core idea of plant-based cuisine is adapting Italian classics for those who, for health or ethical reasons, still want to enjoy special moments without sacrificing deliciousness.

YOGA: THE TEACHER

On the mat is Silvia Maria Croce.

She started practicing yoga around 2009, driven by a deep desire to balance body and mind, led by the curiosity of exploring new dimensions of well-being.

After years of practice and study, she felt a deep desire to share her experience and explore the discipline even more. This desire led her to undertake a more complete training.

She sees herself as a lifelong learner, always open to new ideas and experiences, and well aware that learning and personal growth are a continuous journey.

She particularly appreciates what yoga has allowed her to discover about herself, both through dynamic and stimulating practices, as well as through slower and more meditative ones.
