Move differently. Rest deeply.

Get curious about your body.

pilates & Yoga • 8-11 September 2027

Join Blue Spaces Wellbeing and our guest teacher Mariana, from Mariana Movement Pilates, for three nights of movement, sea, good food and space to slow down.

We've named this retreat TIDAL.

It brings together Pilates, GYROKINESIS® and gentle restorative yoga, with practices that evolve across our time together and take their cues from the rhythms of the sea — strength and precision alongside spirals, flow, softness and rest.

This isn't about doing more. It's about having the time and space to move, explore, rest, and experience your body a little differently.

Wake up to the sea. Move in the morning, then fill the rest of the day however you like — swim, a leisurely brunch, read by the pool, walk to the beach, watch the sun go down. For a few days, there's nowhere else you need to be.

Small group • plenty of free time • everything optional

Sunset over the ocean with a small island in the distance, ocean-view umbrellas, and lounge chairs on a wooden deck.
Bedroom with beige bedspread, glass sliding door with white curtains, patio chairs, and ocean view.
Luxury outdoor terrace with pool, lounge chairs, large thatched umbrella, potted plants, overlooking a scenic coastal landscape with water and hills.
Wooden stairs leading down to a rocky beach with clear blue water, trees on the left side, and a rock formation in the water on the right side.

TIDAL is more than Pilates in the morning and yoga at night. The practices will evolve across our time together, moving from the strength and precision of Pilates towards the spiralling, fluid movement of GYROKINESIS®, before slowing down with gentle, restorative yoga in the evenings.

No experience of GYROKINESIS® is needed. Just come curious, explore something new and enjoy moving your body without needing to achieve anything.

Movement to explore. Space to enjoy it.

No guilt. No packed schedule. Just movement, rest and a few days by the sea.

Modern house with white walls, stone accents, and glass balconies. Outdoor patio area with lounge chairs, umbrellas, and a swimming pool. Hills in the background, clear sky.

Your home in Zakynthos

For four days, we'll have two beautiful private villas in the north of Zakynthos entirely to ourselves.

Think white stone, big skies, infinity pools, outdoor terraces and stunning views out to the Ionian Sea.

We'll practise outside overlooking the water, eat together on the terrace and make the most of September days that still feel very much like summer.

There are plenty of places to be together, and plenty of corners to disappear to when you want some time to yourself.

Morning coffee with a sea view.

A swim between sessions.

A book by the pool.

Dinner outside as the sun goes down.

It really is a beautiful place to spend a few days.

Who This Is For

You don't need to be experienced at Pilates, Gyrokinesis or yoga. Or have been on a retreat before.

You might come because:

  • Life has been busy and you'd really like a few days away from it

  • You love movement but rarely have time to practise as much as you'd like

  • You're curious about Pilates, Gyrokinesis or want the space to deepen an existing practice

  • You want a holiday that feels restorative rather than exhausting

  • You'd like some time by the sea, with good food and your days largely taken care of

  • You fancy travelling somewhere beautiful but don't necessarily want to do it alone

  • You simply saw Greece, Pilates, Yoga and September in the same sentence and thought yes

That's enough of a reason.

    “A weekend spent with kind, generous hearts, bodies stretched with practice, mind cleared with early morning dips and oh so delicious food to nourish body and soul. Just perfect, already looking forward to the next one x”

  • Person diving upside down into water, with legs and feet visible above the surface.

    "Many attendees were regulars who know a good thing when they experience it. All levels are catered for in the yoga sessions and Laura is an amazing teacher who puts everyone at ease and brings humour and wisdom to her teaching. I feel that I left the retreat with a stronger yoga practice. The peace and ease of the whole retreat is worth turning up for. "

    Sarah

  • Person diving underwater with legs above the surface of a body of water.

    "The retreat was all round stunning! Having the space and time to relax and eat alongside movement practice was everything I needed. The sense of being held was felt throughout with lots of group bonding during and outside of activities. Would highly recommend to a friend"

    This retreat was exactly what I didn’t realize I needed. From the moment I arrived, everything felt intentional — the atmosphere, the yoga practices, the community, and the balance between activity and rest.

    What stood out most was how grounded and welcoming the experience felt. It wasn’t about perfection or performance; it was about reconnecting with yourself, slowing down, and being present. The instructors created such a supportive space for all levels, and every session left me feeling stronger, calmer, and more centered.

Previous Retreat Reviews

“My initial hesitancy was immediately forgotten from the minute I arrived.

Beautiful venue, delicious healthy food, peaceful comfortable room, positive, supportive advice if needed, yoga, movement, swimming...but most of all...delightful, funny, inspirational people. Deep friendships were formed and will no doubt endure. Recommend fully.”

The setting itself was beautiful and peaceful, making it easy to fully unplug from daily stress and settle into the rhythm of the retreat. I also loved the sense of connection that naturally developed among the group — meaningful conversations, shared meals, and genuine kindness throughout the experience.

I left feeling physically refreshed, mentally clear, and deeply grateful for the experience. If you’re looking for a retreat that combines wellness, authenticity, and community in a truly memorable way, I would absolutely recommend this one.”

  • Mariana Movement Pilates

    Her approach brings together precision and creativity, with a particular interest in helping people explore movement with greater awareness, curiosity and freedom. Alongside Pilates, Mariana works with GYROKINESIS® and GYROTONIC®, bringing more fluid, circular and spiralling movement into her teaching.

    On TIDAL, Mariana will lead our morning practices, beginning with the foundations of Pilates and gradually introducing the flowing qualities of GYROKINESIS® as the retreat unfolds.

    Experienced, creative and deeply interested in how bodies move, Mariana's approach is less about performing movement perfectly and more about discovering what becomes possible when we really pay attention to it.

    If there's something you've been thinking through, work, business, a decision, a change or just a general what on earth am I doing next?, you can use the time to talk it through.

    Or you can completely ignore the coaching and go for another swim.

    Both are encouraged.

    Nikita is a Coach and entrepreneur. Her strengths lie in thoroughly understanding what it takes to successfully lead a business on an international level. She understands the challenges professional women face in a competitive corporate world. Her passion lies in helping women to lead happier and healthier professional and as such personal lives.
