SOLD OUT
12-18 October 2024
Surrounded in nature, beautiful secluded villa with stunning panoramic sea views and infinity pool
This retreat is about you …. A chance to Press pause …step away from daily life, cleanse… refresh
Fuel for your mind and body, to feel inspired, cherished, renewed, balanced, free
Leaving the retreat with an invigorated sense of well-being, euphoria, a heart filled with desire, passion, physical strength, calm and a magnet to greatness and success
You start each day on retreat with meditation, breathwork and a sea swim (optional). Followed by a powerful and balancing Pilates practise, at dusk you’ll wind down with restorative Yoga/ Pilates. We’ll take adventures together to explore the beautiful coves, mountains, local villages and you’ll have ample time to get lost in a book, journal, switch off
I’ve been going to the area of Ambolo on the Costa Blanca since I was young, so this is extremely special to be sharing such a magical place with you all, so close to my heart
WHO IS THIS RETREAT FOR?
Anyone with a love of movement and the sea, nature and being generally active. If you rarely have time to invest in self-care to nourish your body with flexibility, strength and calm this will be the perfect break to disconnect and recharge. This is also the ideal retreat for couples, as it gives a little bit of everything.
With regards to the level of Pilates required, I take all levels of Pilates on my retreats as long as you have done a little bit of Pilates before. Total beginners are welcome, BUT it is best you have been to a couple of group classes before. There is SO much more to the Pilates practice, especially when we are immersed in a retreat environment. Classes will be a mix of challenging and restorative. If you’re also interested in breathwork and meditation you’ll also be guided through this practice everyday, so get ready to feel the feels and have the most nourishing and transformational time. And feel Alive and completely whole.
