RETURN is a three-night, four day Pilates and Wellness retreat held in the lush hinterland of Byron Bay, hosted by Nicky Kiel and Tia Eddy at the breathtaking BlueGreen Sanctuary.

 

Designed as a gentle reset for the nervous system, RETURN invites you to slow down, reconnect with your body, and return to a steadier rhythm through intentional movement, nourishment, and rest. Each day includes morning reformer Pilates sessions and evening mat pilates classes.

 

All workouts will be guided by Nicky and Tia, whose share a similar teaching philosophy, honouring strength, alignment and breath. All pilates classes can be tailored to suit all levels of pilates experience and will be modified for any injuries present.

 

Each evening will wind down with a stretch, and a sound bath meditation with Nicky.

 

Guests will stay in premium accommodation set amongst the sanctuary’s rolling landscape, with multiple swimming pools, infrared sauna, ice baths, a fire pit and meditation teepee, and open communal spaces designed for outdoor walks, stillness and connection.

 

All meals and snacks are included and thoughtfully prepared using seasonal, farm-to-table produce, cooked on-site by Simon Favorito, from ‘Your Conscious Kitchen’. Food is a central part of RETURN -  grounding, nourishing, and supportive of energy, digestion, and hormonal balance. The retreat also includes a ninety minute interactive cooking demonstration with Simon, include tasting and sensory awakening, and offering practical inspiration and simple techniques to carry home.

 

Guests will experience a guided breath work journey with Rory Warnock, author of 'Unlock Your Breath'. This session will help you go a little deeper into the world of conscious breathing, designed to regulate your nervous system, release stored tension, and support restorative sleep.

 

Optional remedial and lymphatic massages are available for those seeking additional physical support during the retreat from a massage specialist with a focus on women's physiology, reproductive and digestive restoration. Massage bookings will be offered to attendees closer to the retreat.

 

From arrival to departure, every detail will be intentionally considered. Curated welcome gifts on arrival including swimwear from C.DESIGN to take home and wear throughout the retreat, Rorys new book ‘Unlock Your Breath’ as well as products from some of our favourite wellness brands.

 

At its core, RETURN is about creating space for genuine connection, moments of strong, mindful movement, but also stillness and solitude. RETURN has been designed to leave you feeling grounded and resourced with practices that will support you well beyond the retreat itself.
