You crave adventure.

This isn't just a Pilates trip; it's an adventure-packed vacation in Mexico. We'll snorkel with majestic whale sharks, the largest fish in the ocean, for a once-in-a-lifetime thrill. At the resort, grab kayaks or paddleboards for more exploration, blending excitement with the serene beauty of Tulum's coast.

You want to advance your Pilates practice.

Hitting a plateau in your practice? Sometimes, a fresh perspective or prop is all it takes to breakthrough. Whether conquering the teaser, deepening your splits, or strengthening your powerhouse, this retreat provides the tools and guidance to progress in classical Pilates, helping you achieve new levels of strength and flexibility.

You’re feeling burnt out.

Overwhelmed by daily grind? This is your cue to recharge. Escape the routine with a balanced blend of activity and downtime, nature immersion, and resort comforts. Return refreshed, inspired, and ready to tackle life with renewed energy—ideal for anyone seeking a mental health boost through a Pilates wellness retreat.

You want to become a Pilates teacher.

If teaching Pilates is your goal, start as a dedicated student. The best instructors have a solid foundation, and this retreat builds that with intensive mat work. You'll gain depth in classical techniques, setting you up for success in teacher training and a fulfilling career in wellness.

You want to make new friends.

Connect with like-minded souls who share your love for Pilates. With group classes and shared adventures, expect laughter, bonds, and new friendships. We'll all leave with cherished memories and contacts, fostering a supportive community that extends beyond the retreat.

You want to strengthen your Pilates practice on the equipment.

A robust mat foundation enhances everything else. Translate your skills to the reformer, chair, tower, barrel, and more, building overall strength that carries over seamlessly. This retreat emphasizes classical principles that amplify your equipment-based sessions back home.

You want to be pampered.

Indulge in luxury: Airport transfers included, a welcoming sound bowl ceremony, beachfront accommodations on the Mayan Riviera, a one-hour massage, customized in-house meals for your dietary needs, and plenty of free time for relaxation or local exploration between classes. This is self-care at its finest in a tropical paradise.

You’re curious about classical Pilates.

Explored contemporary styles but intrigued by the originals? I've trained in both (my first 500-hour certification was contemporary), but classical Pilates delivers consistent results through its beautiful, systematic approach. Progress comes from repetition, and you'll experience the method's purity firsthand.
