A PIlates Retreat with Katie Dale and Vanessa Bullard
Pilates, sculpt, beach, repeat...
Come with us to Tulum for our first ever Pilates retreat. Each day will blend fun, creative, and sweaty pilates and sculpt workouts with nourishing meals and clear blue waters. Between workouts you’ll be encouraged to soak up the sun on the beach, explore the magic of ancient Mayan culture, or partake in an adventure. This retreat is equal parts movement, adventure, relaxation, and joy—expect to leave feeling stronger, refreshed, inspired, and glowing long after the tan fades.

AMAN:PEACE / SALA:WATERS
Our retreat will be hosted at Amansala- an eco-chic resort in Tulum, Mexico. Amansala is named in Sanskrit after Tulum's peaceful, crystal-clear waters. It offers laid-back, bohemian-chic vibes, surrounded by white sandy beaches, lush jungle, hidden cenotes, and local culture. It’s the perfect beachfront location for our fitness getaway.
All of our workouts will take place in one of their beautiful shalas. Each one is equipped with mats, blocks, straps and weights.
