La Dolce Vita Retreat: Pilates, Presence & Purpose in Tuscany and Sardinia

“Physical fitness is the first requisite of happiness.” — Joseph Pilates

This retreat is more than a getaway—it’s a conscious choice to prioritise your wellbeing, joy, and growth. By expressing your interest now, you’re setting a powerful intention for yourself: to move, breathe, and reconnect in one of the world’s most beautiful settings.

Why this retreat matters:

  • ✨ It’s a chance to re-energise your body and spirit through mindful movement and expert-led Pilates sessions.

  • 💛 It’s an invitation to immerse yourself in the rich culture, flavours, and landscapes of Tuscany and Sardinia.

  • 🌊 It’s a moment to reconnect with nature, simplicity, and the joy of living fully.

  • 🤝 It’s about sharing space with like-minded souls, forming connections that uplift and inspire.

  • 💛 It’s a celebration of self-love, freedom, and the kind of memories that nourish your heart long after you return.

You’ll be guided by me, Tanya, and my dear friend Juke—an experienced physiotherapist and Pilates instructor whose gentle wisdom will beautifully complement our journey.

By expressing your interest now, you’re not just reserving a spot—you’re creating space for transformation. It helps us plan with care and intention, ensuring every detail supports your desired outcomes. And together, we’ll look forward to a truly rewarding experience in September 2026.

Let’s make this dream a reality—one breath, one movement, one magical moment at a time.
