Mission:
Yoga, Calisthenics, Sunshine, Mountains, Lakes

 

Mission is the only movement centre in London with its own dedicated retreat space, nestled in a majestic mountain overlooking the stunning Lake Lugano on the Italian and Swiss border. The secluded and striking property sits on five woodland acres and boasts dramatic views over Lake Lugano, a swimming pool, sauna, lush gardens, and scads of space to relax and soak in the sun, or nap in shady patios. The 10-bedroom main villa and 2-bedroom second house, decorated in classic Italian style with marbled walls, long communal tables, and quiet balconies.

 

Come spend a lazy week in the sunshine, practising yoga or calisthenics with your favourite Mission teacher on purpose-built platforms overlooking the lake. Explore the mountains and waterfalls on energetic hikes, swim in the clear, cool waters, and nosh on authentic Italian food with friends both old and new. Sunbathe with the group, or find a secluded balcony to read a book by yourself.

Imi Wiseman & Alan Ellman: RocketBeats on the Italian Lakes
August 2nd - 9th, 2025

Join Alan Ellman and Imi WIseman for a week of RocketBeat’s fun in the Italian Lakes.

 

Each morning we will embark on a 2 hour practice, one of our signature directions of travel each day – Up, Down, Forwards and Backwards, going all directions on the last day, a classic RBBBQ. You’ll get the full on RB effect as Imi and Alan alternate between teaching and assisting.

 

Each afternoon will consist of a workshop, where you’ll get time to break everything down and work on some of the strength and flexibility required for some of the more challenging poses included in RB practices.

 

And on top of that, there’s lots of time to chill and enjoy a few tunes.

 

Perfect for people who have tried some RB and want more.
