Beautifully renewed ancient ticinese house in the charming village of Novaggio in Malcantone/Ticino. I first visited Casa Corvo in May 2016.
(7)

It was meant to be: a family friend told us his family was selling it just at the moment I was looking for a space to create my own yoga/retreat/holiday rentals space. The house had not been put on sale so far and the contact happened per pure chance, or as I would say, because it had to be that way! (thanks Universe!)

The day my parents and I visited the house we instantly fell in love with it.

Two months later we are signing the first papers and in the beginning of July, after moving out belongings of three generations, I move into the old house. The last major renovation had taken place in the Seventies. The house was charming even like that, but clearly it needed some work. Slowly it became clear to my family and I that the house needed a TOTAL makeover. It was a hard decision: it was tempting to leave everything the way it was to preserve the patina, the shine and the old charm. We start gathering ideas and thinking of solutions. That's were one of my best friends steps in, Alessandra is a talented interior designer and she has helped me so much taking the right decisions. We decided to build a Yoga Room on the ground floor, needed to take down walls that were almost one meter wide for that! Another decision was to make additional space under the roof for a beautiful attic and take down other walls on the second floor. The house has four levels, ground floor, first, second and attic. The first floor would become a Holiday Rental Flat, that can be used also during Yoga Retreats and Immersion. The second floor and attic would become my home. On the ground floor, we "saw" a spacious room that could be used for Yoga and other actives as well as Art exhibitions and small gatherings. It requires a certain amount of creativity and vision to see things that are not yet there. Besides Alessandra, I have to thank my father who even being more than 70 years old never lacks vision! Works begun in October 2016. The executive architect promised us that by Christmas everything would be done. I hoped he was telling us a realistic date, but knew that it was impossible. I lived in the house, moving from one floor to the other, until end of November, then dust and noise made it impossible. I spent months travelling and living at my parents and finally, in March 2017 I could move into my part of the house, second floor and attic.

EXPRESS YOURSELF 🔥
Voice & Movement unlocked with Leela&Lampa

a very special short retreat ⚡️

17-19 november - spaces are limited!

What would it be to move and speak freely? Over the course of three days we explore ways to express freely through body and voice. A truly transformative immersion!

It is the most natural thing in the whole world, to move, dance, sing and express oneself. As kids, all of us connect to music and rhythm. But somewhere down the line, we start to forget and lock up the treasure that was once so available to us. Especially in the Swiss / Northern European culture. So this is your golden ticket to unlock the inherent treasure box and re-discover your voice and body!

There won’t be anything to do or achieve, promised. Nothing to get, nothing to perform. It won’t be about forms or melodies, it’s all about the raw power of unlocked movement and voice. A power that will serve you tremendously in everyday life.

Curated with expertise and love by Leela Sutter (movement & meditation) and Dom Lampa (voice). Both masters in their field of practise, we go about our work with utmost gentleness and joy.

At Casa Corvo we put a lot of effort into serving and offering local, organic and seasonal products ☀️❤️

Chef Mike does a lot of research to serve food that corresponds to the season and does not contain exotic ingredients that had to travel all around the world. We for example don’t serve banana 🍌 and if we do serve exotic fruits it’s only the fried ones from Gebana.

Unseren magischen Garten 🪴 🌳🌿🍃 (Bild 1+2von 19.9.23, Bild 3 August)

Wir haben einen grossen Garten, der mit Rücksicht auf die lokale Flora und Fauna bewirtschaftet wird. Wir mähen nur in einigen Bereichen das Gras und lassen in den übrigen Zonen Blumen und Wildpflanzen wachsen.

Wir haben Blumenbeete mit vielen mehrjährigen Blumen, die von April bis Oktober blühen. Wenn du Casa Corvo im Rahmen einer Gruppenfreizeit besuchst, wirst du sicherlich die Gelegenheit haben, unseren schönen Garten live zu erleben.

Der Platz ist auch gross genug, um Yoga und Meditation im Grünen zu praktizieren 🧘🏻‍♀️🌸

Es hat noch ein Paar mögliche Zeitfenster um die Casa Corvo Wohnung als Holiday Home zu buchen, oder noch 2-3 Plätze in den nächsten Yoga Retreats 🙏🏻🧘🏻‍♀️

NEW LIGHT ON YOGA RETREAT WITH DANIEL SIMPSON AND MICHELA MONTALBETTI
3-7 JULY 2024

> Send us a DM to get your discount code 👩🏼‍💻

STUDY
PRACTICE
INTEGRATE
“Now the light which shines above this heaven, above all, above everything, in the highest worlds beyond which there are no higher, verily, that is the same as this light which is here within the person.”
— Chandogya Upanishad 3.13.7 (trans. Radhakrishnan)

Join Daniel Simpson and Michela Montalbetti in the southern Swiss Alps for a summer immersion in practice and study.

Drawing on a range of transformative teachings – including those described in Daniel’s book, The Truth of Yoga – we’ll explore how to integrate traditional wisdom with modern priorities.

Together, we’ll inquire into yoga philosophy in practical ways that relate it directly to everyday life. We’ll also consider how yoga evolved, and what makes it authentic when so much keeps changing.

Above all, we’ll identify themes that connect today’s methods with earlier approaches, and embody them in practice that goes beyond postures – including seated meditation and pranayama.

This is a great opportunity to deepen your knowledge with two experienced teachers and a diverse community. Come and get inspired in a beautiful setting and go home recharged!

Silent Yoga retreat 🧘🏻‍♀️
20-24 SEPTEMBER mit
Monika Scherer .all.lila.here

➡️ es hat noch Platz

Gemeinsam den Tessiner Herbst erleben, bewegen, atmen, zusammen sein. 🧡💙

Wir verbringen drei Tage des Retreats schweigend. Nachdem wir uns am ersten Abend einfinden, schalten wir am Donnerstag, Freitag und Samstag das Telefon aus. Ganz im Hier und Jetzt auftauchen und mit allen Sinnen Sein. Neben der Yoga Praxis, dem Atmen, dem Sitzen gehen wir am ersten Tag zusammen und dann jede*r für sich am Nachmittag auf Wanderschaft durch den Wald, vorbei an Bächen, vielleicht zu einem kalten Bad beim Wasserfall. In dieser Zeit kann man sich auch eine wunderbare Massage bei Pascale gönnen, die ich wirklich sehr empfehlen kann. Den letzten Abend begehen wir mit sinnlicher Musik und am Sonntag brechen wir das Schweigen mit einem kleinen Ritual.

Michela und Mike haben zusammen einen inspirierenden Ort mit südlichem Flair geschaffen. Es gibt genügend Raum sich zurückzuziehen, im Garten beispielsweise den Blick durch die Gegend schweifen zu lassen, sich auf der Loggia in die Hängematt zu legen oder im Innenhof die Schwalben zu beobachten, die den Nachwuchs umsorgen. Die Zimmer sind mit Sinn für Ästhetik gestaltet und werden jeweils zu zweit oder dritt geteilt. Die Yoga Shala ist komplett ausgerüstet mit Matten, Blöcken und Bolstern, so dass wir gar nichts mitnehmen müssen für die Praxis. Der Raum in diesen alten Gemäuern strahlt eine Stille aus, die uns in unserer Praxis unterstützt und fokussiert.

SIMPLICITY is not easy.

In our houses we are committed to create as much comfort as required, and as little decoration as needed.

One of our most important guidelines is to keep things as simple as possible to allow SPACE.

Each of our guests will find her little corner to unwind, to relax and to just BE.

Groups coming to Casa Corvo can expect a welcoming environment where they can create their own experience. We are not a hotel with numbered rooms, we are a home 🏠 providing a grounding, caring and safe environment. Of course there are some rules, we don’t allow smoking for example. But for the rest, you can leave your door open, your book 📕 in the hammock, and jacket in the garden. Come and feel home.

You find all events open for booking here
