Aerial Yoga & Pilates Alignment Retreat in Umbria, Italy

Each morning starts with a three-hour training block that mixes Pilates machines and aerial hammocks. The instructors, TK Paauwe-Roberts and Aurora, keep the groups small (between 5 and 12 people) so they can adjust every exercise to your level. If you're more adventurous, there's also aerial sling work. Halfway through the session, there's a short snack break before the training continues.

Alongside the physical work, you'll spend an hour each day on the Happiness Course, a guided program with a workbook designed to help you reflect and grow. The retreat also includes a welcome heart-opening ceremony, a closing cacao ceremony led by Simone Heitinga, and excursions to a local winery, restaurants, and famous Umbrian towns and thermal baths.

The setting is Oasi Sorgente, a property perched on a south-facing hill with panoramic views, an organic garden, and walking trails through olive groves and forests. Meals are homemade, vegetarian, and farm-to-table, with most produce grown on site or sourced from local sustainable partners. The retreat is open to all levels, from beginners to advanced, and there's the option to book private Pilates lessons or a massage.
