This retreat is the perfect mix of:

❋ Joshua Tree National Park

Joshua Tree National Park is iconic for a reason.

You’ll experience:
🌵 surreal desert landscapes
🪨 massive boulder formations
🌞 epic hikes + photo-worthy views
🌙 stargazing that feels spiritual (even if you’re not spiritual)

❋ Expert Facilitation

Your retreat will be led by Melody and Nicole, co-owners of Pilates Collective, with a combined 37 years of Pilates experience. Expect movement sessions that feel energizing, empowering, and accessible—plus the kind of guidance that makes you feel supported, confident, and strong in your body. You’re in very good hands.
