WHAT PARTICIPANTS ARE SAYING:“This retreat gave me everything I was hoping for - a deepening of my practice, a letting go, and a discovery of my natural rhythm. We had the space and time to absorb what we were learning and also to really relax if we so chose. Importantly, the format of being able to work out at will and witness others being taught let us do more as we desired in a way that felt very organic and non-judgmental.”
- Danielle W.
“Lori and Katie created an open and welcoming atmosphere, where I felt supported and guided. It created the foundation for learning and development. Likewise, the other participants were so supportive, warm and encouraging.”

An Incredible Community
“I truly enjoyed the different perspectives and teaching styles. Both my lessons with Lori and Katie were informative and insightful. Learning about finding my "inner square" has added an interesting perspective to consider with my body and those of my clients. I also discovered so many different ways to approach the work as it relates to my body!”
Lisa S.
“I loved all the workshops and teachings, especially my lesson with Katie. She was so great at looking at my body and listening to what I am trying to accomplish for myself. The food, location, and excursions were top notch as well.”

“Lori and Katie did an incredible job of handling diverse personalities. Everyone really led by example in terms of being open, curious, and not needing to have the answers. It was highly collaborative. I appreciated how the workshops were more focused on the thought process and critical thinking necessary to really work with the system of Pilates. It was valuable to experience Lori's way of teaching anatomy, focusing on a specific area but then also integrating it globally.”
