Pilates in Paradise

Pilates & Wellness Retreat    •    April 21 - 26, 2019    •     Price starting at $1,300

Join master Pilates & Yoga instructor Niedra Gabriel at Villas Espavel in Sámara, Costa Rica for a Pilates wellness retreat.

Step out of your routine and immerse yourself in a daily practice of movement in nature. This four-day retreat will include 4 hours of daily instruction in our beautiful open-air yoga space. Niedra will use the principles of Pilates, fascia release and yoga to help you restore natural grace and alignment in your body.

This is an all levels retreat focused on implementing Pilates and other healthy lifestyle practices into your daily rhythm. Each day you will have ample time to enjoy the beach, swim in the pool, connect with old and new friends and relax in a hammock while birds flit by and howler monkeys scamper through the trees overhead. The goal of the retreat is for you to return home empowered, refreshed, full of laughter and ready to weave what you have learned into your life. Come rediscover your innate energy and vitality.
