Pilates & Wellness RetreatImagine Pilates every day in a beautiful, restful and luxurious location, hearing the waves crash and smelling the saltiness of the water. Come and feel your body become rejuvenated and your mind soothed on this getaway in Costa Rica with Coach Brooke Goodwin of Reforming Foundations! We'll work out, relax on the beach and enjoy the ultimate balanced vacation!
Fitness Mat Pilates is designed to bring your mind and body in harmony and feel each movement as it directly works a focused group of muscles. In this beautiful surrounding, your two mat Pilates classes a day will reform, rejuvenate and refresh your whole body and mind. Adventure: There are so many incredible things to see and do in Costa Rica, and on our retreat, we experience some of the highlights! We will have a surf lesson (all levels welcome) led by experts to help you stand up and feel the wind in your hair. And then on our last full day together, we'll celebrate with a memorable catamaran sail along the ocean with snorkeling, open bar and possible whale sightings! Relaxation: Taking time to relax and recharge is a top priority on this retreat. In between workouts and activities (which are all totally optional!), you'll have plenty of time to lay on the beach, go tanning by the pool or take advantage of the complimentary bikes and kayaks at the resort. Also, SUP rentals and pampering spa services are available for an additional fee. |

The evening is yours to relax, perhaps with a cocktail around the bonfire?

"My wife and I joined Brooke’s retreat to Costa Rica in 2018 and found it to be a great mix of fitness, exploration, vacation, and socializing.

We had a blast!!" - John & Annette
