Reformer Pilates
Strengthen, lengthen, and restore with ocean-view Reformer Pilates sessions using specialised reformer machines. Designed for all level - from complete beginners to experienced practitioners; classes focus on core stability, functional movement, and full-body strength. Throughout the week, you'll experience a variety of sessions targeting the core, glutes, upper body, and lower body.
Diverse yoga practices
Experience a rich variety of yoga styles throughout the week. Mornings begin with uplifting Vinyasa, Traditional Hatha, Ashtanga-inspired practices, meditation, and pranayama to awaken the body and mind.

Afternoons transition into slower, more restorative experiences, including Slow Flow, Yin Yoga, and Yoga Restore, using props and mindful stillness to encourage deep relaxation and nervous system recovery.

You'll also discover the playful freedom of Aerial Yoga, where suspended hammocks create space for spinal decompression, improved mobility, and a unique sense of lightness in our open-air shalas.
