Find Your Breath, Strength, and Self at the Pilates & Breathwork Retreat in Kos, Greece

Imagine waking up to the sound of the Aegean breeze rustling through your tent and starting your day with Pilates overlooking the shimmering waters of Kos, Greece. The Pilates & Breathwork Retreat, running from September 6 – 13, 2025, offers a transformative experience designed to reconnect your mind, body, and spirit through mindful movement, breathing techniques, and serene adventures.

This isn’t just a retreat; it’s a journey of self-discovery and wellness, led by Gilly Gwilliams, founder of Evexia. Inspired by her personal evolution and passion for holistic health, Evexia represents the Greek concept of wellness, nurturing guests in both body and mind through carefully curated activities.

Wellness in Every Breath and Movement

Daily Pilates and Breathwork for the Body and Soul

At the heart of this retreat are daily Pilates sessions that include mat work, aqua Pilates, and props to engage your entire body. These sessions are designed for all levels, so whether you’re a seasoned practitioner or a curious beginner, you’ll find movements that build strength, flexibility, and alignment.

Complementing the Pilates practice are guided breathwork sessions, where you’ll explore the power of breathing to enhance relaxation, reduce stress, and connect more deeply with yourself. Breathwork becomes a meditative journey, allowing you to let go of tension and feel fully present.

An Immersive Retreat at Evexia Kos

Evexia, meaning "wellness" in Greek, is more than just a retreat center—it is a manifestation of Gilly’s dream and personal journey toward holistic health. With years of experience as a personal trainer and a deep connection to nature, Gilly created Evexia to offer guests a chance to explore, learn, and grow through a variety of wellness practices. The retreat not only focuses on fitness but also emphasizes the importance of connecting with others and the healing power of nature.
