This retreat is a welcoming space for everyone, though it is particularly focused on women! Whether you’re new to Pilates or a seasoned practitioner, we invite you to join us for a restorative and enriching experience. Our classes will be mat-based, so while you don’t need to be able to kneel or get up from the mat with ease, we recommend that participants are comfortable with basic movements. Come as you are and feel supported as we move, connect, and reset together in a nurturing and inclusive environment.
