"Another outstanding retreat from Soulscape Shala.  Accommodation was clean, spacious, beautifully designed as well as functional for all our needs.  The gardens and outdoor space had the wow factor - from the variety of cacti, to the huge pool and outdoor decking area.  Chef Jenny kept all diets content with her use of local produce to portray the best elements of Greek cuisine.  Despite healthy appetites we were all sated at the end of every meal, somewhat jealous of Jenny's ability to make wholesome, simple ingredients utterly delicious.

Fiona's programme of Bikram and HIIT pilates mixed with yin yoga and vinyasa from guest teachers was perfect for those who really wanted to challenge their practice in a new location, those who wanted to come back to a more focused yoga and a gentle introduction to those new to yoga.  This is one of the hardest things to convey - Fiona's unique ability to push experienced yogis to new levels AND gently, compassionately encourage those finding yoga for the first time to connect their mind and body.

The location afforded lots to do from a five minute amble to a funky beach bar hang out to a 50min cab ride to quirky boutiques on the other side of Paros.

Above all, what makes a retreat experience with Soulscape Shala is the attention to detail that Fiona and Marc put into every area in their meticulous research.  Its like going on holiday with the most generous of hosts !"

Close your eyes in Fiona Allen’s Dynamic Pilates and you could believe you’re working out on the beach in Ibiza. Her incredible energy and soundtrack make this hardcore class fun. You don’t realise until you wake up the next morning with abs, that behind the charisma is the drive of a sergeant major and you’ve been pushed past the point of endurance with incredible results that you can feel and others can see. She’s incredible.

Testimonial......

I went to the Sri Lanka retreat with hopes of escaping London life, distressing and getting a bit of sunshine whilst doing my usual workouts. I got this and so much more....

Fiona is able to strike the perfect balance of supporting you whilst pushing you to your limits in order to create an experience that will challenge and nourish you in equal parts.

You can expect incredible food, beautiful scenery, luxury accommodation and the highest level of teaching in a fun yet high achieving environment.

By the end of the retreat I felt stronger and healthier both physically and mentally.

'Soulscape Shala is my new favourite happy place. Love Love Love. What an amazing sanctuary. I highly recommend the magic of this gorgeous fulfilling retreat. I feel totally refreshed and rejuvenated after returning from my lovely Sri Lankan Soulscape Shala retreat and I'm booking again for next year! Perfection was on every level, the fantastic Yoga and HIIT classes, the peace, the amazing people, the delicious healthy food and drinks, the fabulous excursions, the sun and laughter and last but not least the wonderful Tropical House the retreat was held in.

The whole atmosphere was pure bliss.

Thank you to the amazing Fiona Allen who is an incredible yoga teacher and a beautiful soul.
