Ground, Balance & Reset With A Virtual Retreat
As many of you know, I have been offering long weekend retreats for a few years now. They are a time to put your daily life aside to reflect, focus on wellness, and take a step back from everyday life. With the current restrictions, I invite you to a unique time of reflection, self-care, and the connection some of us are craving more than ever.
This virtual retreat will be split up into 4 segments throughout the day where we connect for activities, and not all of them will include staring at your device! I will provide guidance to maintain a retreat like setting and vibration in your home when we are not together on Zoom. Although there is time in between segments, I suggest setting aside the entire day for yourself and not plan anything else. Give yourself this gift!
See below for descriptions of each segment- it's not all about Pilates. I am especially excited for the luxury of our evening segment- an ambient music electric guitar sound bath by Gabriel Flores. If you have not experienced sound like this you are in for a treat. Using this type of music as a restorative relaxation technique is one of my favorite self-care activities. Recently, research has shown that 432htz possesses actual healing properties and promotes calm of the mind and body. It is also easier on the ears and which promotes clarity. 432htz is now being used as a form of healing as it releases serotonin and endorphins which in turn keeps blood pressure and heart rate stable. Experiencing this will be a wonderful way to end our time together.
Segment 1: Meditation and group introduction, Pilates/Yoga movement class
Segment 2: Solo walk with activity to share later, or Socially Distant group movement meet-up. This will depend on the state of the world on May 23rd, which could change up to the day of. TBA.
Segment 3: Cooking with The Louie’s. You will receive a porch drop-off the day before with some of the ingredients for the evening meal we will prepare and eat together. Tony will be making an appearance to share his expertise in the kitchen that comes from working in his family restaurant for 25+ years.
Segment 4: Ambient music electric guitar sound bath featuring Gabriel Flores. We will all create our own luscious space to rest while listening to vibrations and tones in 432 htz, the sound that promotes mindfulness and grounding. Put your ear buds in and close your eyes while lying in savasana. Or create a ‘floor bed’ with pillows, blankets and other comfy items of your choosing. You can lay on your sofa or your bed. Finally, we will open our eyes and connect one last time before saying goodnight.

My Virtual Studio has moved into a new space!
We have begun renovating Studio 400 so it will be ready to open for private lessons and small groups once the Stay At Home order is lifted. I have moved into my office in the meantime and am filming my virtual classes here!
