Tuscany Italy 2027
Sept 4th - 11th, 2027
Picture in your mind the breathtaking beauty of Tuscany—the gentle rolling hills blanketed with vineyards and olive groves, ancient stone buildings standing proudly amidst cypress trees, and the aroma of fresh Italian cuisine drifting through the warm air. Here, every sunrise paints the landscape in golden hues, and every sunset invites you to slow down and savour the moment. Tuscany is a place where history, nature, and culinary delights come together, creating the perfect backdrop for a transformative yoga retreat.
Now, imagine sharing this experience with a circle of women—each of us gathering to move, rest, and reconnect with ourselves and each other. Join Joey and me as we guide you through seven days of nourishment, laughter, and discovery in the heart of Tuscany. This retreat is designed for women who long for a pause from daily life, a space to breathe deeply, and a chance to rediscover their inner strength and serenity. Together, we’ll create memories, foster new friendships, and embrace the unique journey that unfolds for each of us.
The Rhythm of our Days
This retreat is an invitiation to slow down and step away from the pace of everyday life. Set amid the rolling hills and timeless beauty of the Tuscan countryside, each day unfolds at an unhurried, intentional pace – offering a true pause from the outside world.
Our time together is thoughtfully curated to balance guided experiences with ample space to simply be. There is room for mindful movement and deep rest, quiet reflection and shared connection – allowing each day to unfold naturally.
Mornings arrive softly in Tuscany – light spilling over the hills, We begin each day with a gentle yoga, moving and breathing together as the countryside awakens around us. Breakfast unfolds slowly, mid morning workshops invite thoughtful reflection, and lunches stretch long into the afternoon, all prepared by our local chef.
The afternoons belong to you; sun-warmed hours in the Tuscan sun by the pool, wandering cobblestone streets in nearby villages, quite walks through the hills, or simply rest with a good book and class of wine.
Evenings bring us back together around the table, sharing food, warm conversation, laughter and connection. As night falls, we wind down with a soothing meditation, allowing the day to setlle before retreating into rest beneth a sky full of stars.

Joey Henderson
Joey Henderson stepped into her first yoga class in 2005, seeking a sense of peace and balance while working in a demanding role as a women’s caseworker at a Shelter for abused women and children. Though the work was meaningful, the emotional toll began to affect her well-being. Yoga quickly became a refuge, a place to reconnect, reset, and begin healing from the inside out. As her personal practice deepened, so did her curiosity about the "why" behind the sense of calm and clarity she felt after each class. That curiosity evolved into passion, leading Joey to complete her RYT 200 in 2011 with Sheree Nicholson. Just a few months later, with the encouragement of family and friends, she became the proud owner of the studio that helped spark her transformation, reopening its doors in January 2012. Now an experienced RYT 500 and Reiki Master, Joey has guided hundreds of students through yoga classes, retreats, and teacher trainings. She’s known for creating warm, welcoming, and non-judgmental spaces that encourage deep rest, self-discovery, and genuine connection. Joey believes yoga is for every body, adaptable, inclusive, and transformative in its many forms. Whether you're new to the mat or deepening your journey, she’s here to help you find your breath, your center, and your way home to yourself.
