Italy 2027 🇮🇹 SOLD OUT 🤍

And this one feels particularly special because every place has been booked in my alumni priority/retreat mailing list window.

So many of the women who joined me in Piemonte this year wanted to come back — which I think says everything about this very special place and the kind of retreats I want to create.

Small groups. Beautiful surroundings. Brilliant Pilates. Incredible food and w**e. And time to actually enjoy it all.

Piemonte, we’re coming back 🇮🇹

June 2027 — sold out.

Summer might be drawing to a close, but I’m already dreaming about next June… 🇮🇹

So excited to say I will be returning to Canelli, from 12–16 June 2027.

Four nights immersed in the Pilates method. Reformer, Tower and Chair ♥️. Beautiful food, local w**e, time to rest and those views that stop you in your tracks.

Booking is going out to my retreat alumni first, before opening to my mailing list on Wednesday 16 September.

If you’re not already on the mailing list and would like to receive the details, please send me a DM or join through the link in my bio.

This is a retreat straight from the heart - max 8 retreaters, not just a room with a view but an apartment with lounge area per room. Top of the range Merrithew fully equipped Pilates studio and time to truly relax.

If Piemonte is calling you too, join the Italy 2027 waitlist through the link in my bio.

Can you see yourself here? 🤍

A little glimpse of the beautiful new home for September’s Retreat Rituals

Every Retreat Rituals experience is intentionally small, allowing me to tailor each Reformer Pilates session to the people in front of me. Alongside movement, you’ll find nourishing food, beautiful surroundings, time to rest and the space to reconnect with yourself.

If you’re dreaming of joining a future retreat, I’d love to welcome you into the Retreat Rituals community.

Simply send me your email address by DM and I’ll add you to the Retreat Rituals mailing list, where you’ll receive priority access to new retreats, destinations and early booking opportunities before they’re released publicly. 🤍

When was the last time you gave yourself 4 days ?

Moving …

Resting…

Being looked after?

Still smiling from time spent with the most amazing group of women 🩶

There is something about teaching on retreat that I never take for granted.

In a studio at home you might see someone once or twice a week. On retreat, you get to witness a different kind of transformation.

Shoulders soften. Breathing slows. People arrive as strangers and leave as friends.

They begin to trust their bodies again.

And somehow, in amongst the movement, the sea, the conversations over breakfast and the quiet moments in between… something shifts.

It’s difficult to explain unless you’ve experienced it.

Teaching movement is one of the greatest privileges of my life, but teaching it in a place where people have given themselves permission to pause feels even more special.

Thank you, Reformer Pilates Algarve, for inviting me to teach. You are such an inspiration, and I feel very lucky to have been part of this beautiful week. 🩶

To everyone who shared it with us, thank you for your openness, your laughter and your trust. It really was something special, and I have a feeling our paths will cross again.

I’m already looking forward to welcoming my own September retreat guests at Granvila.

If you love Pilates and the idea of spending a few days immersed in movement, nourishing food, September sunshine and wonderful company, I’d love to welcome you.

✨ One place remains. DM me for the details.

A huge final thank you to Bessie ~ Yoga • Pilates • Clinical for choosing me for this retreat, crafted around 5 unique Gourmet Home Experiences. Until next time 🙏🏻

Si conclude così questo Wellness Retreat, con il cielo che ci ha salutato con un tramonto incredibile, con quelle sfumature rosa e oro che hanno reso il tutto ancora più magico✨

È stato un grande piacere essermi preso cura dei pasti del wellness retreat di Bessie ~ Yoga • Pilates • Clinical in Italia.

Questa è stata la cena di benvenuto, l'inizio di un'esperienza di 4 giorni ricca di risate, ricette gourmet, allenamento e good vibes.

Già nei primi minuti si era creata un'energia bellissima, complice anche la meravigliosa location Casale Dell'Acero Rosso, nella splendida cornice di Canelli.

It was a great pleasure to prepare the meals for Bessie Refalo's wellness retreat in Italy.

This was the welcome dinner, the start of a 4-day experience filled with laughter, gourmet recipes, workouts, and good vibes.

Right from the start, a wonderful energy took hold, thanks in part to the stunning location, Casale Dell’Acero Rosso, set in the beautiful surroundings of Canelli.

It’s 35 C and I’m dreaming of the ocean- the reality is I’m sat at my laptop replying to client messages and enquiries about upcoming retreats whilst dreaming of cooler places and sea breezes ☀️

Smiling at this photo from Italy 🇮🇹❤️

Not because of the Pilates.

Not because of the beautiful venue.

But because it captures something that’s difficult to put into words.

Watching a group of women arrive as strangers and leave with new friendships is one of the most rewarding parts of hosting retreats.

There is always plenty of movement, wonderful food and beautiful surroundings, but it’s often the laughter, conversations and connections that people remember most.

Portugal is next- my final retreat of the year will be at the beautiful Granvila.

A few days of sunshine, sea air, reformer Pilates, good food and good company as we squeeze the last drops of summer from September 2026
