After experiencing over 30 unforgettable retreats on the stunning island of Ischia, I found myself so captivated by its unique charm that I made it my permanent home. This May, I invite you to join me for La Dolce Vita Retreat, where you'll indulge in the island’s rejuvenating hot springs, savor exquisite local cuisine, and enjoy fine wines. Our accommodations, at one of the island's best hotels, offer breathtaking views of the iconic Castello Aragonese, a private beach, pools, and hot springs—truly the perfect place to relax and embrace the beauty of life.

During our time together, we'll explore the island's hidden gems, indulge in shopping, and visit its most picturesque villages. Our itinerary will also include enriching activities such as yoga, meditation, many gifts, and cherished memories. Come, be a part of this unforgettable experience as we embrace the beauty and serenity of Ischia & Capri.

Where do we stay?

Our home for this retreat will be an iconic hotel nestled in a tranquil bay, surrounded by rocky outcrops and private beaches, offering breathtaking views of the famous Castello Aragonese. Guests can unwind in the pools and thermal baths, immersing themselves in the island’s natural beauty.

Your host - Aviv (Primavera / Spring) Hendler

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 us 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 Architecture 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. 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.
