Hosted at Octant Vila Monte in Portugal’s Algarve, Sophia Stangl’s intimate retreat combines reformer and mat Pilates with immersive wellbeing rituals and creative workshops. Two daily reformer sessions are interwoven with somatic practices, creating space to build strength while inviting a deeper sense of ease in the body. Beyond the studio, the programme unfolds through workshops in soap making, nervous system regulation, and a cacao ceremony, alongside time to enjoy the surrounding beaches or simply unwind within the hotel’s tranquil grounds. A unique blend of movement, creativity, and meaningful ritual, the retreat offers an opportunity to reconnect and return home feeling energised and restored.
