Testimonials
"This entire week has been very grounding, cathartic and connective--connective in my Pilates practice, the retreat community, and deepening into another culture. I am feeling really excited to bring some of the new connections that I found in my movement practice back to the States and the classes that I teach. I also hope to bring back a sense of ease, magic, and whimsy. This entire experience has been absolutely incredible from top to bottom."
"I have really enjoyed swimming three times a day. That was a treat. I loved the e-biking tour and getting to see the region that way; the scenery is absolutely stunning. During the truffle hunting tour, it was great getting to see locals in action. This entire week was reminder to slow down."
"I am feeling a new sense of confidence that I didn't have coming into the week. The truffle tour followed by the home-cooked meal was incredible because it was so authentic to Piemonte; I felt really immersed in the local culture and what that family has been doing for generations. Connecting with the folks who came here has been such an amazing community building experience."
"All of us wish we could stay another week or so. We did so much during the week but it went by crazy fast--and yet we had plenty of time for rest too. It's great to watch how relationships develop between everyone here. We have been able to be silly and play while also having these profound cultural experiences. All while doing Pilates, which we all love. It was fantastic doing Pilates every day and having the facilities available to us at all times. It was such a treat."
Let's Break it Down
The Location
We will be staying at a villa in Italian Wine Country which has a fully-equipped Pilates Studio on premises.
We will be 1.75 hours from Milan (from which transportation will be available on both ends of the retreat).
The villa has four dual-occupancy suites for retreat participants, as well as a pool, hot tub, and scenic outdoor space.
The property is surrounded by vineyards that have produced world class wines for generations.
The villa structure was rebuilt from a traditional Piemontese farmhouse in 2008, The lounge, bar, dining room, bicycle room, kitchen and pilates studio were added in 2017.
