Your host - Aviv (Primavera / Spring) Hendler
16 years living between Italy & the French Riviera · 100+ retreats curated since 2020 · Featured in Muddy Stilettos
My name is Aviv Hendler — I'm a Yoga and Tantra teacher, and the founder of Primavera Yoga Retreats.
For the past 16 years, I have lived between Italy and the French Riviera, places that deeply inspire my work and way of life. My retreats are a reflection of my love for movement, consciousness, beauty, connection, and the Mediterranean art of living. I share yoga, Tantra, Human Design, and a refined, embodied approach to wellbeing rooted in both depth and pleasure.
Before fully dedicating myself to the wellness path, I studied Architecture in Florence and Milan, an experience that shaped my eye for aesthetics, space, and harmony — elements that are still very present in the way I curate my retreats today.
I began practicing yoga in 2000. I was fortunate that my Pilates teacher introduced me to yoga at a time when it was still relatively unknown, and from the very first practice, I felt a deep connection to it. What started as curiosity quickly became a lifelong journey.
After completing my degree, I followed my heart to India, where I completed my 200-hour Yoga Teacher Training with Vijay Amar. My training included Vinyasa, Ashtanga, Hatha, Yin, anti-aging yoga, and meditation. During my time in India, I also studied Ayurveda and Ayurvedic nutrition, which continue to influence my teaching and lifestyle.
I believe practice is a space to quiet the mind, listen inward, and cultivate inner joy. From this place of presence, we reconnect with our truth and naturally begin to shine — with softness, clarity, and love.
Alongside classical yoga, I created a unique practice called Yoga Art, which blends yoga with body painting on canvas. This experience invites creative expression through the body, helping participants reconnect with their inner child and sense of play. It is joyful, liberating, and deeply nourishing.
I teach private yoga sessions and collaborate with retreats around the world. Since 2020, I have been curating my own retreats across Italy and Monaco, weaving together yoga, Tantra, Ayurveda, Human Design, and beautiful, carefully chosen locations and hotels. To date, I have curated over 100 retreats, each designed as an intimate, soulful, and transformative experience.
My work is ultimately about connection — to the body, to others, and to life itself. Beyond yoga, I also teach Tantra, guiding people into deeper presence, sensitivity, and authentic connection.
In 2023, my retreats were recognized by Muddy Stilettos as one of the best yoga retreats to explore, an honor that I received with deep gratitude.

ITALIAN SUMMER RETREAT
YOU DESERVE TO FEEL GOOD.
SINGLES RETREATS
Are you still single? Are you tired of using tinder? I met so many beautiful single guys and women during my retreats that really searching for love.
So, my new idea is to create retreats for only singles where they can meet like-minded people and share these experiences of tantra, yoga, qigong, cooking classes and visiting new places in the world and yes maybe even to find love in the retreat or after, cause the Retreat will change something in them- we will work on communication skills, heart chakra, eating with our eyes closed getting in touch with our senses and more interesting exercises. It happened already to a few of my clients, and hopefully, it will happen also to you.
PRIVATE RETREATS \ CUSTOMIZE YOUR EXPERIENCE
Contact us for a private group booking - from reunions, corporate team-building, or just a special occasion! You can choose the location and we will take care for the rest - and join us for a balanced and enriching adventure.
