About the event
Imagine practicing beneath frescoed ceilings, inside timeless Baroque villas, surrounded by the lush landscapes of Lunigiana.
Over three days, Palazzo Dosi Magnavacca and Villa Dosi Delfini provide an unforgettable setting for handstand and Pilates sessions.
Choose either discipline or enjoy both for the complete retreat experience.
This weekend is about so much more than classes. Discover a land of castles, historic villages, and nature. Taste local specialties like testaroli, torta d’erbi, and Pontremoli’s famous amor pastries, and enjoy an escape from the everyday.
Training in places like these is rare. Experiencing them together is even more special.
