Karen and Tom traveled to Montegrotto, Italy where Tom joined Marie Jose Blom and Anna Maria Vitale in leading a 4-day retreat for teachers. Organized by Fisicamente, the retreat attracted a motivated group of international Pilates professionals who came from all over Europe (and one from the US!). Workshop themes included breath, centering, functional anatomy, SmartCore and Yoga / Pilates combo. Set in the thermal hot spring region outside of Venice, we fully enjoyed the therapeutic mineral pools too! Thanks to our wonderful hosts Anna Maria Vitale, Fabrizio Rozza , and Daniela Vitali, and to our interpreters!
