13-18 November 2024, Iceland
Kotus Wellness Retreat in Iceland offers an unparalleled escape into the serene embrace of nature, where guests can immerse themselves in natural hot springs that seamlessly merge into the ocean, framed by majestic mountains and striking black beaches.
This retreat promises a truly authentic experience, with opportunities to savour the renowned Icelandic seafood soup and engage in personalised and group BuffBones® sessions and CranioSacral Therapy treatments hosted by Gaby Lewis. The beautifully designed facilities showcase world-class art, ensuring that every detail contributes to a holistic sense of well-being. Guests can also benefit from specialised float therapy, which targets the musculoskeletal system through light massage and gentle stretches, promoting joint health and alleviating spinal tension. The retreat's Aurora Lounge provides a perfect vantage point for witnessing the breathtaking Aurora Borealis, while guided walks through the stunning Icelandic landscape further enrich the experience.
Maldives Retreat
Soneva Jani
The indulgent escape offered by the sparkling turquoise lagoon of Soneva Jani proved irresistible for rejuvenating the Mind/Body on this once-in-a-lifetime Pilates retreat.
Throughout the retreat, participants had the opportunity to enjoy numerous sessions with Reformer, Cadillac, and ladder barrel Pilates equipment, as well as Pilates Matwork. They also took part in Yoga sessions, Jungle Gym sessions, and guided marine biologist hikes to observe turtles, providing a diverse and enriching experience that maximised the potential of this incredible resort. Additionally, guests toured the vegetable gardens and eco centre.
To complement their physical activities during the stay, guests selected from a menu of healthy and nutritious meals designed to fuel their activities and cleanse their bodies. The package included a doctor's consultation, body scrub, and full-body massage in the spa, along with a singing bowl session and full access to the gym.
Pilates & Polar Bears
Svalbard
There are few places on Earth as serene and untamed as Svalbard; once you depart Longyearbyen, you enter a realm of ice and wildlife. In the pristine air, you'll find me, Gaby Lewis, joining you on this unforgettable journey.
As a former ballet dancer turned leading Pilates therapist in London, I am thrilled to guide you through this expedition into the icy wilderness. Each day, I'll lead sessions on deck or indoors if the weather requires, offering a variety of techniques and therapies from my toolbox to the 12 guests aboard the MV Polarfront.
With a team of two expedition guides onboard, you'll embark on daily landings, exploring the polar bear habitat and capturing incredible sightings. It promises to be an unforgettable adventure.
