Reviews

Santorini Love What an amazing week it was in Santorini, Greece with Sky Pilates and Yoga. I can’t say enough wonderful things about this retreat. It was absolutely perfect. I feel completely rejuvenated and relaxed.

Alex did a great job with mixing up the classes as well as adding in optional excursions and a little R&R by the pool.

I definitely will be back again! You don’t want to miss this fun group of loving, caring and motivating people. Alex, Frauke and Ashley have truly touched me and inspired me in many ways!

Until next time see you all again soon!
