Join Meredith Wadsworth & Katherine Bristow for early autumn in the Italian countryside.
We'll spend 5 nights at Ebbio, a 12th-century restored farmhouse nestled on a 7-hectare organic farm between Siena and Florence. Expect a variety of daily yoga, robust vegetarian Tuscan cuisine with produce sourced from Ebbio’s organic farm, time to adventure and explore the nature of the region, visit nearby Siena and Monteriggioni, and ample time to rest, read, relax. For those who wish to deepen their practice, unwind, and have new experiences while spending time with friends.
Anyone and everyone is welcome, regardless of yoga experience. Community, practice, self-care and joy are at the heart of this retreat and we can’t wait to share it with you!
This will be an intimate retreat capped at 14 guests.

Meet your hosts
Meredith Wadsworth [Boston] and Katherine Bristow [London] both trained with The Sacred Fig, and first connected at a retreat in Colorado run by a close mutual friend of theirs. Since then, a seeded idea has grown and bloomed into this very retreat.
Meredith has forged a sturdy path in Boston’s yoga community, teaching her own unique blend of vinyasa, Katonah, and functional movement. She teaches alongside her work as a ceramic artist.
Katherine currently teaches in London and is trained in vinyasa, yin, and yoga nidra, alongside her career as an actor.
