About this Retreat
Your Guides
My name is Arianna Montanari and I have created mielestrega and Yoga Synergy Sweden in 2020, when I felt I wanted to do more for this planet. I have been studying Yoga Synergy with Simon Borg-Olivier since 2019 and that was a wake-up call from my grind life, pushing through my body's resources and energy. I now live a much more balanced life, really listening and understanding my body and emotional patterns much better (always work in progress!).
I live in Stockholm since 2013, I am Italian, I am a beekeeper and I have my own line of natural body products mielestrega.
I also run a yoga studio in central Stockholm and have my own podcast "The Synergy Podcast".
Details of this retreat
Escape to the rolling hills of Tuscany for a retreat designed to slow you down, awaken your creativity, and reconnect you with your body and the BEAUTY that is within you and around you. Through daily Yoga Synergy practice, hands-on creative workshops, and mindful moments in nature, Root & Flow invites to move, create, and simply be.
Each morning, we will flow through a Yoga Synergy session designed to awaken the body and quiet the mind. Later, we'll gather to create with our hands - journaling, making, drawing, planting or picking - letting our creativity unfold naturally.

A NOTE FROM ARIANNA
I created Root & Flow because I believe in the magic of slowing down. In a world that moves fast, this retreat is a space to breathe, & reconnect-with yourself, your body and the beauty around you. My goal is to guide you back to your creative essence. I can't wait to share this experience with you.
