The Feeling
Movement in the morning. A swim before lunch. A boat day you will still be talking about in the group chat.
Then great food, a sunset drink and a table you do not want to leave.
That is our kind of balance. Come with a friend, or come on your own. There is a place for you here.
Come solo. Bring a friend. Leave with your people.
Meet Your Hosts
Shona Manderson · Pilates & Yoga Host
A Pilates and yoga teacher who has experienced plenty of retreats herself, Shona knows how much the right balance of movement, downtime and good company matters. She’ll lead all movement classes throughout SOLSTICE, from morning Pilates to yoga and stretching, bringing her love of both practices to our week on Kea. Whether you’re a regular or trying something new, there’s space to move at your own pace.
