This peaceful haven offers a unique experience where humanity and nature walk hand in hand, in perfect harmony. Here, you are invited to reconnect with yourself and the world around you, leaving behind the stresses of contemporary life.

A Journey Within and Beyond

At Casin’Anand, the simple act of removing your shoes upon entering symbolizes leaving behind the “dust” of the outside world and embracing the nurturing environment that welcomes you. 

This small gesture marks the beginning of a journey into self-discovery, aided by the philosophy of Kundalini yoga. 

The oasis of peace at Casin’Anand invites you to explore your inner depths while also reaching out to the world with joy and positivity. 

This unique place aims to transform your stay into an unforgettable experience of well-being, serenity, and personal fulfillment.

A Timeless Sanctuary

Casin’Anand aspires to be more than just a retreat—it seeks to become the “House of Balance,” an example of a harmonious and conscious way of life. 

Anand, meaning “joy” in Sanskrit, perfectly encapsulates the essence of this sanctuary. 

Here, joy is found in existing, in being, in loving oneself, and in self-expression. 

Every detail of the space is carefully curated to reflect this philosophy. The ten rooms, apartment, and suite at Casin’Anand are inspired by the owners’ travels across various countries and continents, each telling a unique story through its design.

Spaces Designed for Well-being

The retreat offers a dedicated environment for well-being, allowing guests to immerse themselves in activities aimed at nurturing both mind and body. 

The yoga room, designed for classes and workshops, provides a serene space to cultivate inner balance. In addition, there is a seminar room ideal for corporate events, allowing for customized experiences that align with the spirit of the Casina.

The rooftop lounge offers stunning panoramic views and a cozy bar, creating a perfect setting for unwinding after a day of inner work.

The wellness area is another highlight, where guests can indulge in relaxation and rejuvenating treatments. 

A Historic Haven Embracing Artistic Inspiration

Originally a country house, Casin’Anand has evolved into an enchanting oasis amidst lush greenery. The term “casina” refers to the distinctive pink-hued palazzos of Salento, historically used for wine production, akin to the French châteaux. 

Today, Casin’Anand invites you to reconnect with yourself, others, and the Universe in a space where time and place blend harmoniously.

Casin’Anand also serves as a hub for artistic expression, hosting workshops led by local artisans. These workshops are designed to inspire creativity in an inviting and stimulating environment. 

Artists seeking a unique space to engage their students in unforgettable creative journeys will find Casin’Anand’s beauty and atmosphere a year-round source of inspiration.

The Spirit of Casin’Anand

After a lifetime of global travels, Tarandev, the heart and soul behind Casin’Anand, chose to create a safe and special place dedicated to yoga and meditation. 

While the retreat now has deep roots, the spirit of travel remains alive within its walls, expressed through thoughts, emotions, sensations, and details. 

The ultimate goal is to guide guests on the most beautiful journey of all: the journey of spiritual growth.

At Casin’Anand, you will discover a new dimension of peace, harmony, and connection with your inner self. By learning to listen, know, and love ourselves, the ancient technology of Kundalini yoga, with its expert coordination of postures, breathing, meditation, concentration, sound, and relaxation, helps maintain a balanced circulatory, immune, and nervous system, allowing us to meet the challenges of the modern world with a strong and radiant spirit.
