Yoga for Professional Piano Tuners and Technicians

A Special Retreat Featuring Robert Callaghan, RPT

Step away from the workbench and into a space designed to restore the body behind the craft. Yoga for Piano Technicians is a unique retreat created for those whose days are spent tuning, voicing, regulating, lifting, listening, and caring for the soul of the instrument — often at the expense of their own well‑being.

Join us for an immersive experience blending mindful movement, therapeutic stretching, and practical body‑care strategies tailored specifically to the physical demands of piano work. This year’s retreat features special guest Robert Callaghan, RPT, whose decades of expertise bring rare insight into the posture patterns, repetitive motions, and ergonomic challenges piano technicians face every day.

Through guided yoga sessions, hands‑on self‑care techniques, and conversations with Robert about sustainable practice habits, you’ll learn how to reduce strain, improve mobility, and cultivate a more easeful relationship with your craft. Whether you’re a seasoned technician or new to the field, this retreat offers a chance to reconnect with your body, restore your energy, and return to your work with renewed clarity and comfort.

A retreat designed for the hands that restore harmony — and the people behind them.
