WE'VE FOUND OUR PARADiSE.
Now We Want to Share It with You.
After personally exploring the breathtaking Long Bay Beach Resort, we knew we'd found the perfect home for our first Reset Retreat.
Nestled along one of Tortola's most beautiful beaches, this incredible destination offers the perfect backdrop for an intimate experience that balances movement, adventure, relaxation, and the freedom to simply BE.
We're thoughtfully creating an experience that celebrates everything we believe makes life richer: moving well, living fully, exploring the world, and making time for ourselves.
And we can't wait to share it with you.
Move. Explore. Restore. Repeat. (Or don't!)
Every day brings opportunities to move, explore, and reconnect with yourself.
From Classical Pilates and yoga to energizing circuit workouts, NIA, and scenic hikes, we're envisioning a variety of movement experiences throughout the retreat.
Whether you love an invigorating workout, a mindful movement practice, or simply stretching your legs while taking in the scenery, there will be opportunities to find what feels right for you.
And the best part? You get to choose.
Join us for a morning Pilates session. Explore something new. Enjoy a workout that gets your heart pumping. Or skip it all and spend the morning listening to the waves.
There are no expectations to participate in everything. Move when you want. Rest when you need. Explore when adventure calls. Because this is YOUR reset.
Sailing
across turquoise waters as the sun begins to set.
Snorkeling
among vibrant marine life in crystal-clear Caribbean waters.
Discovering
the breathtaking rock formations and hidden pools of The Baths on Virgin Gorda.
Exploring
scenic island trails and soaking in panoramic views.
Sharing
incredible meals, laughter, and memorable experiences with new and old friends.
Adventure is part of the experience. But so is the freedom to slow down.
The Art of Doing Nothing.
Sometimes the most meaningful part of getting away is having absolutely nothing you need to do.
Sink your toes into the sand. Enjoy a restorative spa treatment. Find a quiet spot with a book. Take a leisurely swim. Or simply watch the waves roll in.
We're intentionally creating space for rest, relaxation, and spontaneous moments.
Because restoration isn't something you squeeze into your schedule.
It's something you give yourself permission to experience.
A RETREAT THAT FEELS LIKE YOU.
Some days you might want to do it all. Other days, you might want to do absolutely nothing. And that's exactly the point. The BVI Reset Retreat isn't about following a rigid schedule or checking activities off a list. It's about creating opportunities to move, explore, connect, and recharge — while giving you the freedom to experience the retreat in a way that feels right for you.
Whether you're traveling solo, with a friend, or with a partner, we want you to feel welcome, comfortable, and inspired. Come as you are. Leave feeling recharged.
YOUR HOSTS
Christi & Michelle
As the women behind Pilates in Paradise, we've spent years helping people move better, feel stronger, and live more fully. But we also believe that living well goes far beyond what happens inside the Pilates studio.
It's about adventure. Connection. Self-care. New experiences. And knowing when to slow down.
We created the BVI Reset Retreat to bring all of those things together in one extraordinary destination.
And as Pilates in Paradise celebrates 25 years in June 2027, we're especially excited to begin this next chapter by sharing something we love with the people who make our community so special
We can't wait to welcome you to paradise!
With love, Christi & Michelle
