FOUNDER & CREATOR, SHARI OF SOLE DREAM HOLIDAYS

“Travel has brought me so much joy over the years. It is a never-ending journey filled with friendship, discovery, excitement and love. There is always something new to learn and I can’t wait to see where the next adventure takes me and who will be coming along for the ride!“

I created SOLE DREAM HOLIDAYS in 2013 with an idea to combine travel in beautiful locations with mindful movment, culture and discovery.
I wanted something more than the typical wellness or yoga retreat and decided to include African safaris, exciting once-in-a-lifetime adventures and luxury wellness experiences for everyone. From single women travelers to couples to families, there is always something extraordinary for anyone wanting a curated, original and dreamy escape.

YOGA/FITNESS BIO
Shari discovered the unlimited and positive effects of a consistent yoga practice over 20 years ago in San Francisco, California. Her journey included numerous disciplines, but it wasn’t until Ashtanga that she found her true yoga passion and was certified in 2010 in Florence, Italy (her other passion!). She now enjoys teaching a combo of vigorous, playful and challenging vinyasa flow class, pilates core, barre and restorative. She hopes through her teaching she can inspire others with the grace and love that she has found.
Shari has been leading retreats and holidays for over 11 years in amazing locations from Greece to Israel, Jordan to Morocco, Botswana to Namibia and all over her adopted and gorgeous country, Italy. Join me in my home of Florence, Italy for private groups and lessons.

MY TALENTED, DEDICATED & GIFTED TEAM

SOLE DREAM HOLIDAYS - VALUES

I have found that Values-alignment is an important part of having a positive collective experience for all of my guests on every retreat and holiday.

I am honest.
I will let a guest know if I believe a retreat is not the right fit. I would rather have a satisfied and happy guest more than anything.
I do what I say I will do. And if I make an error, I will absolutely own my mistakes.

I am reliable.
I reply to all emails and quickly. I am a problem solver and work hard to build your trust.
I take pride in my work and am always looking to improve and bring more value to my retreats and holidays.

I believe.
I believe Black Lives Matter.
I believe in equality. My retreats are always open to everyone, regardless of gender, race, sexual orientation or religion.
I believe in science. By this, I mean science based on a shared set of provable facts and objective reality.
