Welcome to Tuscany in Flow – A Retreat for Body, Culture & Belonging
Join us for 7 days and 6 nights in the heart of Tuscany, where movement meets meaning and every breath invites transformation. This is more than a Pilates retreat — it’s a celebration of Italian culture, connection, and the art of living well.
As Joseph Pilates said, “Contrology develops the body uniformly, corrects wrong postures, restores physical vitality, invigorates the mind, and elevates the spirit.” This retreat is your invitation to experience exactly that — surrounded by rolling hills, ancient villages, and the warmth of a like-minded community.
Each day blends energizing Pilates sessions with slow Tuscan mornings, nourishing meals, and cultural immersion. And for those who wish to continue the journey, you can follow Tuscany with a 6-day retreat in Sardinia, embracing the Mediterranean magic in a coastal paradise.

🤍 It’s about gathering with kindred spirits, sharing laughter, stories, and movement in a space that feels safe, supportive, and soul-nourishing.
🌸 It’s a celebration of self-care, cultural richness, and the kind of memories that linger long after the retreat ends.
You’ll be guided by me, Tanya, and my dear friend Juke—an experienced physiotherapist and Pilates instructor whose gentle wisdom brings depth and balance to our journey.
