Pilates & Yoga Retreat by the Sea with Ulrike Vincent
Jun08 - Jun12 2026
Salt Air • Soft Sunsets • Strength & Deep Rest
Essence of the Retreat
Flow & Stillness is a gentle invitation to arrive, breathe and feel held by the sea.
This retreat blends energizing Flow Yoga and Pilates with deeply restorative Yin Yoga and Yoga Nidra — creating a harmonious rhythm between activation and surrender. Mornings awaken the body with fluid movement and conscious breath. Evenings soften into quietness, allowing tension to dissolve.
Surrounded by Mediterranean light, warm stone, sea breeze and the endless horizon of the Adriatic, the retreat naturally integrates elements of thalassotherapy — the subtle healing power of salt air, sunlight and the sound of waves. Sometimes the most profound reset happens simply by sitting by the sea and letting nature do its work.
Daily Structure
Each morning begins with an uplifting Flow Yoga or Pilates session. Through mindful sequences and steady breath, you build strength, stability and inner clarity.
The spacious hours in between are designed for pure ease. Sunbathe on the terrace overlooking the sea. Listen to the waves. Read on the jetty. Take a slow swim in crystal-clear water. Walk barefoot along the shore. Close your eyes and feel the warmth of the sun on your skin.
These quiet moments of sea-inspired restoration form a gentle, natural thalassotherapy — supporting circulation, breathing and deep nervous system relaxation.
In the evenings, the energy softens. Yin Yoga and Yoga Nidra invite you into deep rest, helping the body unwind and the mind settle into stillness.

Location & Atmosphere
The retreat takes place in a peaceful coastal village in Croatia, near Split. Olive trees, pine forests and the turquoise Adriatic create a calm and authentic setting.

Here, time feels softer. Slower. More spacious.
