But a wellness retreat takes this idea to a whole new level, offering unique experiences focused on health, wellness, healing, and self-discovery that typical vacations just don’t provide. Plus, rather than the traditional vacation, a wellness retreat offers the opportunity to feel rejuvenated and refreshed after your vacation.

6 Reasons Why Going On Vacation Is Good For Your Health

March 26, 2019/ Margot Rutigliano

Going on vacation always seems like the solution to many problems. We dream of taking a trip. Often times though, we tell ourselves that we just don’t have enough time to go on vacation. There is too much to do at home or at work. Yet, many of us are consistently stressed out, frustrated by long hours or life’s craziness.

8 Reasons To Go On A Fitness Vacation

March 25, 2019/ Margot Rutigliano

One of the reasons I created Vita Vie Retreat, over 12 years ago, was so that I could build an environment where people could truly focus on themselves. I had been doing personal training and nutrition coaching for about 6 years and one of my biggest complaints was that my clients couldn’t focus on themselves. We would be in the middle of a training session and a client would reach to answer a phone call or a text (and way back in the day, it was a pager). It just seemed like we were treading water rather than swimming through the waves.

So one day I was on a plane and I read an article about a big health spa, a place to escape and get away and get fit and healthy. And while this appealed to me, I also wanted to create an environment where I would still work with clients rather than just owning an operation and shuffling people in and out. Training and coaching are my passion and actually participating in that work is really important to me. So, I decided to create a small version of the health spa so I could accomplish my goals – to form a fitness vacation where people could get away and focus on themselves as well as be able to do the coaching. And here we are in 2018 with Vita Vie Retreat!

March 16, 2019/ Margot Rutigliano

Vacation traditionally means blowing off your normal routine.

This has become what vacation is about; an escape from our normal reality. With a few simple steps, your vacation can be much more balanced and healthy, yet still leave you feeling that vacation vibe.
