A great performance class as only Michael Frederick can teach.
We had a fun day off, taking in the sun by the pool and exploring San Gimignano. The artist Ai Weiwei had an exhibit using Legos. It was very interesting, loved all the stools.
There were morning classes with Yoga, afternoon classes in the Alexander Technique and Ayurveda, and some Vespa adventures...
Reflections from Our Retreat
A retreat is a period of seclusion dedicated to rest, reflection, and rejuvenation. It allows individuals or groups to withdraw from their usual environment and routine, focusing on personal growth, spirituality, relaxation, or specific objectives.
We just finished our retreat at the beautiful Villa Ducci in San Gimignano, Italy. We interwove the Alexander Technique, Breath-Centered Yoga, and the concepts of Ayurveda to create a more balanced lifestyle. To embark on such a journey, one must have the desire to learn, grow, and do the inner work necessary to travel to an unknown place.
Everyone who attended brought their unique gifts and a willingness to learn, change, and grow. It is always a joy to watch everyone's inner light shine a little brighter as the retreat comes to a close and they continue on their journeys.
Thank you, Ms. Azzurra, and all the excellent staff for making our Retreat participant's stay enjoyable!

Spent a couple days in Florence. Michelangelo was a master in taking away the unnecessary marble and finding the beauty that was within…That is what are retreats help you to do. How are you letting go of all the unnecessary tension in your body/mind that keep you stuck? It’s all about the inner work!
Off to the Villa Ducci to teach!
Awareness is key to making healthy changes in your life. Start simple and do your best. Let go of self-criticism and judgment. You got this!
