Embrace change with Pilates expert Yuyu as the seasons flow from autumn to winter. The retreat begins with a gentle yet invigorating Pilates class focused on proper alignment, breathing, and stability. Explore the relationship between Ayurveda and the seasons, then nourish your body with a seasonally-inspired lunch. Following lunch is a restorative practice marrying yoga postures and Pilates principles, rounded out with a Reiki session.

Yuyu found Pilates and yoga over 20 years ago after a spinal injury left her in need of rehabilitation and strengthening. Her connection to these practices deepened when she saw beyond the physical benefits, experiencing overall growth and wellbeing. It wasn’t until her first daughter was born that she decided to pivot from advertising to movement and teaching. Yuyu's background ranges from comprehensive Pilates training on all apparatuses, Rehabilitative Pilates and Physical Therapy, Pre/Post-Natal coaching, Myofascial Release, yoga, and TRX. Her teaching style can be described as authentic, rhythmic, challenging, and fun, with a focus on proper alignment. Yuyu currently teaches and resides in Marin county with her family.
