In June, 18 women travelled to the go-to destination, Byron Bay, for our State of Salt Pilates retreat with the effortlessly chic ALO yoga instructor, Bianca Wise. Set at the stunning SOMA, the retreat combined quality classes, farm to table meals, lymphatic drainage, gut health workshops and holistic wellness for a modern sanctuary experience.
A Perfect Day in Paradise
Each day was specifically curated to rejuvenate both body and mind, striking the perfect balance between activities and relaxation:
- Morning Tea and Tonics: We began off each day with calming tea and bespoke tonics, setting a peaceful tone for the day ahead.
- Pilates with a View: Guided by Bianca Wise, our invigorating Pilates sessions aligned perfectly with the serene hinterland views.
- Gourmet Wellness: Breakfast was a delightful fusion of family style banquet, paired with an insightful discussion on lymphatic drainage—true luxury is knowing and caring for your body.
- Holistic Insights: Our healthy hormones workshop delivered invaluable knowledge, empowering our guests to enhance their overall well-being.
- Lunch: Lunch was a culinary delight, featuring fresh, locally-sourced ingredients that nourished and satisfied.
- Afternoon Bliss: Our guests luxuriated in free time, indulging in sauna sessions and refreshing ice baths for ultimate relaxation and self-care.
- Chic Snacks Always: A 3pm snack, made with love by our favourite chefs, Burbury Wholefoods, kept energy levels high, perfectly timed for the late afternoon.
- Sunset Stretch: We transitioned into the evening with a gentle Pilates stretch in the geodesic dome, preparing our bodies for the night.
- Evenings: Dinner was an indulgent affair, featuring gourmet farm to table dishes and decadent desserts that delighted the senses.
- Intimate Conversations: Fireside chats offered a cozy and intimate space for connection, reflection, and sharing personal wellness journeys.
Our retreat was more than just a getaway—it was a curated experience of ocean side luxury, wellness, and meaningful connections. As we reflect on our time at SOMA, we eagerly anticipate our next State of Salt retreat, promising more unforgettable moments by the sea. Stay tuned for what’s next.
