elisa magni

founder

Elisa started this company with a mission to transform lives by sharing the Italian mentality of il dolce far niente.

the sweetness of doing nothing is about staying present, it is a commitment to staying so deeply planted in enjoying the current moments that we allow ourselves to be transformed.

Elisa's passion for helping others feel nourished, fulfilled and high on life while following the principles of Italian living is what has inspired her business. Rooted in holistic health, staying present and enjoying life's moments, Yogando Retreats is determined to share their story for more retreats around the world with top wellness leaders.
