Anchor to Embodiment: A Transformational Pilates Retreat

Anchor to Embodiment: A Transformational Pilates Retreat

May 15–17, 2026 | Elohee Retreat Center, North Georgia Mountains

Hosted by Amanda Curd & Leslie Clayton

Anchor to Embodiment is an intimate, three-day Pilates and movement retreat designed for women ready to step out of constant doing and return to a grounded sense of strength, clarity, and connection. Set among waterfalls, forest trails, and the restorative quiet of the North Georgia mountains, this retreat offers space to breathe, move with intention, and reconnect with yourself—without pressure, performance, or overwhelm.

Inspired by the power of stepping away from daily noise, this experience blends Pilates, OOV work, yoga, and breathwork with nourishing meals, nature immersion, and meaningful conversation. This is not about doing more “wellness.” It is about creating space—to rest, to reflect, to move, and to remember what thriving actually feels like in your body and your life.

Over the weekend, mornings begin with intentional movement to awaken strength and clarity. Workshops are inspired by the natural elements—earth, water, fire, air, and ether—offering practical tools for balance, resilience, and alignment in both body and mind. Evenings invite connection and release through fireside conversations and ceremonies, while unstructured time allows for forest walks, quiet reflection, or optional spa treatments.

Spaces are intentionally limited to 10 participants to keep the experience personal, supportive, and deeply restorative.
