Strengthen the body, restore balance, and experience the rhythm of Italian countryside living in the rolling hills of Le Marche. Days begin with energizing Pilates, Yoga, and mobility sessions overlooking the landscape, followed by relaxed afternoons by the pool, wandering through olive groves and hill towns, or joining curated experiences that explore the region’s culture and cuisine.
Evenings unfold around the table with beautiful, shared meals, where conversation, connection, and the quiet magic of rural Italy linger long after sunset.
Meet your Host
Paola Langella
Founder of SHAPES Studio
Pilates • Yoga • ELDOA
Paola Langella is an internationally recognized movement expert and founder of SHAPES Studio, a global wellness platform known for its refined, integrative approach to Pilates, Yoga, and functional movement.
With over a decade of experience, Paola blends classical Pilates with Yoga, meditation, and ELDOA—an advanced method developed by osteopath Dr. Guy Voyer—to support alignment, decompress the spine, and promote long-term structural health.
Paola’s work is centered on building strength, enhancing mobility, and cultivating deep body awareness through precise, intentional movement.
During her 16 years in London, Paola worked with an international clientele, including professional dancers from the Royal Opera Ballet, and collaborated with leading boutique studios such as Bodyism. Her work has been recognized by Tatler and trusted by global wellness brands, including Soho House.
Now based between Italy and London, Paola leads private sessions, global online programming, and curated retreat experiences—guiding clients toward strength, balance, and a more connected relationship with their bodies.
Throughout the retreat week, Paola will guide the movement experience through her thoughtful, detail-oriented teaching style—bringing together strength, mobility, and deep structural awareness.
Her approach is both precise and intuitive, designed to help you move with greater ease, improve posture, and build a stronger, more balanced body.
“Attending Paola’s retreat was one of the most rejuvenating and soul-nourishing experiences of my life. Every moment felt like a gentle return to myself. I left feeling lighter, stronger, and more connected — both in body and spirit.”
— Stacey, USA
