Lift & Lengthen Retreat

Puglia, Italy

Slow down. Move with intention. Reconnect with yourself.
October 13–18th 2026 5 nights Nardò, Salento All levels welcome

Join Lora on a yoga retreat in Nardò, Salento, where the sea, sunshine, and slow living create the perfect space to unwind.

Escape to beautiful Puglia for five days of yoga, nourishing food, breathtaking surroundings, and meaningful connection.

This retreat isn't about perfecting poses or being 'good at yoga.' It's about creating space to breathe, move, rest and simply be present.

Whether you are completely new to yoga or have been practising for years, you'll be welcomed exactly as you are.

Come home feeling stronger, calmer and more connected — to yourself and to others.

Why this retreat?

Life moves fast.

We spend so much time giving to work, family and everyone around us that we often forget to care for ourselves.

This retreat is an invitation to pause.

To wake up slowly.
To move your body with awareness.
To eat incredible local food.
To explore the beauty of Southern Italy.
To laugh, connect and create memories.

You will leave feeling refreshed, inspired and equipped with practices you can continue long after returning home.

About Me

Hi, I'm Lora and I believe movement is one of the simplest ways to return to the present moment.

At the peak of my nursing career, I worked with children with complex heart conditions and travelled internationally to support their recovery after heart surgery. It was deeply meaningful work, but it also led me to seek more balance, presence and connection.

I found yoga in 2012 and was drawn to the combination of breath and movement, a practice that helped me slow down and reconnect through the demands of work, marriage and motherhood.

After a ski accident in 2021, movement became something even deeper. Yoga supported my recovery and opened the door to meditation, strength training and a new appreciation for what the body is capable of.

I'm not a strength coach — I simply love movement in all its forms and using it to support the sports and adventures I enjoy.

Today, as a yoga teacher and life & wellbeing coach, I help people feel calmer, stronger and more present through movement, breath and mindful practices.

I believe our potential doesn't diminish with age, we get to define how we move through life.
