Beyond the Leaning Tower
Yoga in Pisa

Home to one of the world's most iconic landmarks, Pisa offers far more than its famous tilting bell tower.
Pisa is a city of profound history and unexpected beauty. While millions come to photograph the Leaning Tower, those who linger discover a vibrant university town with medieval streets, stunning Romanesque architecture, and a relaxed Tuscan atmosphere.
The Piazza dei Miracoli (Square of Miracles) is a UNESCO World Heritage Site housing not just the tower, but also the magnificent Cathedral, Baptistery, and Monumental Cemetery, collectively one of medieval Europe's most important religious centres.
Beyond the famous square, explore Piazza dei Cavalieri, the historic centre of power, or stroll along the Arno River at sunset, passing the exquisite Gothic gem Chiesa di Santa Maria della Spina. The city's botanical garden, one of the oldest in Europe, offers a peaceful retreat.
Pisa makes an ideal base for yoga during your Tuscan stay: close to the airport, yet surrounded by countryside, with easy access to the coast and the hills.
Practising yoga here
Pisa is where I'm based, so it's the easiest place to practise with me. I teach yoga in Pisa and the surrounding countryside: on your villa terrace or hotel garden, outdoors in the hills, or in my own studio overlooking the Pisan hills, a calm alternative to a busy city yoga centre. Sessions range from a sunrise practice to a restorative class after a day of sightseeing.
Many visitors choose private one-to-one yoga classes which I shape around your level and what you need that day, ideal whether you've never tried yoga or practise daily at home. Celebrating with friends? The yoga and wine experience pairs a group practice with a sommelier-led Tuscan tasting at a winery or other licensed venue. Tell me where you're staying and I'll match you to one nearby.
Food & Wine
Don't miss cecina, a thin chickpea flatbread that's a Pisan specialty. Pair local wines with fresh seafood from the nearby coast, or explore the trattorias around Piazza delle Vettovaglie.
