Move, Relax & Unwind under the Tuscan Sun
Our retreat location
Join me, Elizabeth Andrews, on an amazing week of movement, relaxation and connection that you definitely don't want to miss.
The movement retreat takes place in Tuscany, Italy. You’ll stay in a traditional Tuscan villa set on a private estate hidden in the picturesque Tuscan hills, near the medieval walled city of Lucca, surrounded by the Pizzorne mountains. Our estate includes a swimming pool, yoga studio, beautiful gardens, olive groves and a beautiful orchard.
Our professional chef team will provide healthy and wholesome dishes, 3 times a day, created from locally sourced ingredients.
About the Movement Practices
We will have 2 movement practices a day, except mid week, excursion day, the morning one where we will practice drills to enhance our movement patterns then incorporate them in a flow.
We will "workshop" specific movement patterns and or exercises such as how to load the wrists so that the tissue can strengthen and your bodyweight classes will be more enjoyable as well as becoming stronger. We will deep dive into the feet, how to connect better from the ground up and how to strengthen and mobilize them, so that your day to day becomes sturdier, be it walking down the beach or hiking in the mountains. We will address hip movement and practice ways to create better mobility and range of motion, strengthening the tissues around the joint to build resilience. And we will address the most important component of movement- the mind and how that alone can make or break how you show up in a class and in life.
The end of day will be a practice to help us un do the do from the day. A night cap if you will.
We will also have journals to document moments of joy and "a-ha's" we experience each day.
This is a retreat you will not want to miss!
