«The retreat was fantastic. Location is gorgeous and easily reachable by public transportation. Katia was very open, I was not forced into doing anything and the routines were well paced. We were a small enough group that we got to really know each other over the two days. I was not familiar with Pilates as much as I thought I was and she patiently coached us through the routines. I feel “worked out” but not broken! We also had plenty of free time to see the area and I managed a bit of shopping in Thun. Highly recommend. I will be back.»
«Excellent retreat, Katia is wonderful and took into account our needs and was very welcoming. Hotel and view were breathtaking. Overall I highly recommend and plan on attending this retreat again.»
