A Pilates & wellness retreat · Thai Islands
Pilates in Paradise
February 24–28, 2027 · Karon Beach, Phuket, Thailand.
The retreat
Unwind, strengthen, connect
Embark on the ultimate Pilates retreat experience, set amidst the breathtaking beauty of the Emerald Islands of Thailand. This exclusive getaway is designed for relaxation, adventure, and a chance to connect with a like-minded community.
Surrounded by turquoise waters and powdery white sand, deepen your practice and rejuvenate your mind, body, and spirit: a welcoming, holistic approach to well-being and an unforgettable retreat.
Your practice
Learn, connect & relax
Mornings begin gently. Before the heat settles in, you’ll roll out your mat as the sun lifts over the Andaman Sea, an unhurried hour of slow, deliberate movement to wake the body and quiet the mind. Breakfast follows at your own pace, with the whole group around you and the whole day still ahead.
The heart of the retreat is the practice itself. Across two dedicated days of workshops you’ll go further than a normal class allows: refining technique, exploring new work, and learning from instructors who finally have the time and space to really teach. Whether you’re finding your footing for the first time or you’ve taught for years, each session meets you where you are and moves you forward. As the light softens, sunset Pilates brings the day full circle.
But a retreat is more than the hours on the mat. It’s the long lunches and easy conversation, the swims between practice, the quiet stretch of afternoon that’s yours to do nothing with, and the friendships that form when like-minded people share the same shoreline for a few days. You’ll leave stronger in your practice, and lighter, too, in a way that’s harder to put into words.
Who’s this for?
From first-timers to master trainers

Expert-led workshops
Learn from the best
Guided by world class Power Pilates Master Instructors, the same experts who certify teachers globally, these immersive workshops dive deep into the heart of movement, wellness and the Pilates method. You’ll refine your technique, transform the way you move, and discover lifelong recovery and wellness practices to keep you strong.
Past retreats have featured favorites like a breath-guided practice and an advanced-mat deep dive, taught hands-on in small groups so the learning actually sticks. This year’s topics and presenters are announced closer to the event, and certified attendees earn up to 6 CECs.

The fine print
Cancellation policy
We plan and book the venue months ahead, so this policy is firm. Please read it before you register.
- Deposits are non-refundable. Whether you pay the deposit only or in full, your room deposit ($600 shared, $850 private) is non-refundable and serves as the cancellation fee.
- Before January 15, 2027 (40+ days out): cancel and you’ll be refunded everything you have paid beyond the deposit.
- On or after January 15, 2027: payments are non-refundable, but 50% of what you have paid can be applied as credit toward a future Power Pilates retreat within 12 months.
- Once the retreat has begun: no refunds or adjustments are possible, including for late arrival, early departure, or missed sessions.
Because the retreat involves upfront planning and venue bookings, we adhere to this policy strictly and cannot make exceptions. We highly recommend purchasing independent travel insurance to protect your trip.
