LATE SUMMER
PUGLIA RETREAT
Sept 17-22 2027
 

Retreating at a Traditional Puglian Borgo overlooking the sea...

 

 

 

Wake to birdsong among olive groves, wildflowers and wild herbs, with the Adriatic shimmering in the distance.

​Welcome to Puglia in late summer: when the sea is still warm, the countryside glows in the afternoon light, and the busiest holiday crowds have started to disappear.

 

Immersed in the Apulian countryside, this tradtional Puglian Borgo thoughtfully renovated with contemporary touches & relaxed bohemian interiors, outdoor spaces and rooftop areas made for long conversations and golden-hour daydreaming.

​

This is an intimate retreat, limited to 8 guests.  With the crowds gone, we’ll explore the region at a gentler pace: the turquoise coast between Monopoli and Ostuni, and the Valle d’Itria right on our doorstep, with its white trulli villages, baroque old towns and lively weekly markets.

                                    Mike's Method

​

It’s an educational and embodied week designed to help you understand your body better and move with more intelligence.

 

​Rather than simply flowing from one pose to the next, we'll explore how your joints and spine are designed to move, how everyday habits influence the way you feel, and how to develop strength, mobility and control without unnecessary tension.

​

My workshop-style sessions build progressively throughout the week. We'll begin with grounding and awareness, then explore strength, mobility, coordination and fluidity, allowing time to integrate what you've learned.

​

My approach blends functional movement with yoga principles & breathwork science 

Functional movement means working with how your joints  and spine are designed to move and recognising the habitual patterns that often lead to tension or discomfort.
