Join me in honoring the newness that spring brings!
Spring is a season of rejuvenation that gives us a deep sense of renewal and growth. It's a moment to shed the heavy darkness of the cold, move forward, and bask in the light. Let’s step into spring's beauty together with the wisdom winter gave us.
During this intimate and luxurious 3-day retreat for women, we will make space for the new by freeing ourselves of what has been weighing us down through Pilates and yoga while also nurturing the self.
Join Lia Masciulli, Pilates Master Trainer and Yoga Therapist, for a magical weekend focused on movement, creation, and nourishment. Together, we’ll take the teachings of the winter months and choose where and how you wish to bloom. During this weekend getaway, you’ll make room for fresh growth, deepen your practice, and return home rejuvenated and well rested with a deeper connection to your inner self, ready to begin again.

“I attended Lia's Rooted in Nature retreat in a state of stiffness, fatigue, and in desperate need of some R&R. Before the retreat, my exercise routine consisted of whatever I could 'squeeze' into my day; a quick 15-20 minutes on the bike or a run. During the first full day of movement, I felt truly 'great.' Lia made adjustments to accommodate comfortable shapes and poses for me. I genuinely felt at ease during savasana, perhaps for the first time in my yoga practice. I enjoyed holding poses and breathing into the 'sticky parts of my body,' as she would describe. I felt taller after the initial full day! It was wonderful to clear my mind for the first time in a while and just be present. The retreat is designed for anyone looking to restore their inner mind and body. I left feeling rested and relaxed. I am eagerly anticipating the next retreat!”

“I spent an amazing weekend with Lia at her “Rooted in Nature” retreat. I left feeling relaxed and rejuvenated and still felt that way a week later! Lia provided a relaxing space and skillfully moved us through some gentle yoga and Pilates movements that stretched and strengthened our bodies. Her guided meditations were also a highlight. Lia is a welcoming and calming presence. I would highly recommend Lia and will be signing up for her next retreat.”
– KELLY P
"Lia touched our hearts, from the initial welcome gift on arrival to meeting her on the mat. The care and precision were evident; Lia's instructions were so poignant, delivered with her even voice to guide us. She always synchronized movement with the breath, and subtle moves from the head down, resulting in a very thorough reset. Her retreat theme came together seamlessly from beginning to end. I wholeheartedly believe it took a year in the thoughtful planning process and I was thrilled to learn we were a small group. My home practice will benefit 100-fold from the guidance of the master guru Lia! Thank you!"
