Pilates: Back to Center

Back to Center

All Level ✺ 16- 21 February 2026 ✺
La Viñuela, Andalusia, Spain

Step into the new year by re-centering body and mind.

This 5-night Pilates retreat is designed to help you return to your center—the powerhouse of strength, alignment, and breath that supports every movement. Through a balance of Classical precision and Contemporary flow, each morning session will ground and energize you, reconnecting you with clarity and control.

Evenings invite restoration and integration. With slower-paced Pilates practices, fascia release, and mindful breathwork, you’ll release tension, improve mobility, and re-balance from the inside out.

Back to Center is more than a retreat—it’s a chance to pause, re-ground, and realign with yourself. You’ll leave feeling stronger, clearer, and centered, ready to carry this renewed balance into the year ahead.

The Magic Dark

Intermediate ✺ 25 February -2 March 2025 ✺ La Viñuela, Spain

The winter season draws us in to its cloak of darkness. Many of us may find ourselves wishing these months away, waiting for the light of spring and summer to return.

But winter has such richness within her darkness. In the magic dark of winter we not only have the opportunity to rest in natures natural ebb to the flow, we also have the time to tend to the stoke the fire of creative flow within us.

Now is the time for inspiration to be nourished, as we light candles, read poetry, listen to music and connect to the source within.

This special retreat will be dedicated to the Magic Dark of Winter. Each morning will start with Mediation, Chanting and Kriya practices. Followed by Asana and Pranayama. In the afternoons, we will meditate again, read poetry and discuss yogic philosophy and its modern application to our daily lives.

English Gentle All Level Dynamic Vinyasa Flow Februar La Viñuela, Spain Restorative Nidra Blog Spain Vera Bettiol

Finding Fluidity

All Level ✺ 20- 25 February 2025 ✺ La Viñuela, Spain

As we approach the end of winter, the cosmos beckons us into a realm of dreams and intuition, a dance of intuitiveness and creativity, sensitivity and fluidity, wisdom and imaginations, surrender and ease. It’s the beginning of the astrological Pisces Season!

In this season there is a sense of trust that we are somehow carried – like water – exactly where we need to go, even if we don’t yet know where that is. Pisces season feels like a slow breath out. It’s where we can sink into the unknown. It’s where we ride the waves as they come. It is where we lean into trust and surrender to the vastness of the universe.

During our week together we will tap into these energies and weave movement practice to nourish the whole of you and connecting with the power of fluidity – the ability to adapt, flow, and embrace change gracefully to help you reconnect with your inner self and rediscover your natural state of balance. A week where every moment is a chance to rediscover your inner peace and explore the limitless potential within you and to let the healing powers of yoga and nature wash over you, leaving you feeling refreshed and rejuvenated.

Each morning, we’ll flow through a dynamic, purposeful and fluid vinyasa practice. There will be daily guided meditations and breathwork. Afternoon classes will have lots of restorative elements including yin yoga and yoga nidra working on releasing areas of deep-rooted tension and resistance. Throughout the week into the daily classes, we’ll also explore yogic philosophy and some astrology teachings and its application in everyday life for an even more mindful and magical experience.

Gentle English Fleur van Hille All Level Vinyasa Flow Februar January La Viñuela, Spain Restorative Nidra

Reflect & Renew

All Level ✺ 27 January - 1 February 2024 ✺ La Viñuela, Spain

As the Earth experiences seasons, so do our bodies and minds. Spring brings new life and color, summer rains abundance, autumn calls us to shed our unnecessary layers, and winter turns us inward. How can we find a way to honor this phase that is so profoundly connected not only to life, but to who we are as well?

Winter is a time when both our bodies and the earth are slower, calmer, and more withdrawn. We burrow into piles of warm blankets, and we are called to rest more deeply. Winter is ruled by our intuition, so we will set our intentions for the year ahead. What are we ready to let go of? What are we ready to call in?

During this retreat, we will move our bodies in dynamic vinyasa morning classes that will get stagnant energy flowing again, leaving us feeling freer and lighter.

In the afternoons and evenings we will rest deeply to release even subtler layers of tension from the body and mind. Often these are a kind of holding on that we are not even aware of. When they are released, we find space, relief, and we feel an opening up.

These sessions will include yoga nidra, a guided meditation while you are laying down, restorative yoga, in which we restore the body to a state of complete relaxation, and singing mantras, to connect to our hearts.

The Spanish sun will bring light and uplifting energy. The mountains will offer us a broader view. And as we zoom out from our daily lives, we will give rise to new ideas, inspiration, and energy for the year ahead.

Gift yourself a week of quiet me-time surrounded by others looking for connection, inspiration, and shared laughter. Come to rest, reflect and get new energy for the year ahead.

Fleur van Hille

People often describe me as a warm and sunny person with an intuitive approach to teaching yoga. I like hearing this description because it shows that I’ve made a real connection with my students. And if there’s one thing about yoga that I love the most and which characterises my classes, workshops and retreats, it’s the feeling of being connected.

A retreat offers us the possibility of a truly profound experience of yoga. Surrounded by nature and among like-minded people from every corner of the world, a unique journey unfolds. Conversations open up, emotions are untapped, and discoveries are made…

In the quiet of each morning, we begin our yoga practice in stillness, taking time to anchor our awareness in the present moment through a guided breathing exercise, a meditation or visualisation. Then, drawing on the energy of the rising sun and the freshness of a brand-new day, I lead you through a vinyasa flow that is both gentle and energising.

During the dip in energy that tends to follow lunchtime, the sessions slow down, allowing for a deeper exploration of the techniques and practices encountered earlier in the day. There’s also plenty of time for sinking into a profound state of relaxation with restorative or yin yoga, or even yoga nidra (yogic sleep) – sometimes accompanied by mantras, music, or myths.
