New Year Wellness Escape: Pilates, Yoga & Breathwork in Bali

Soulful Reset is built around the Five Elements, with each day dedicated to a theme. You'll explore these through Pilates and yoga-inspired movement, breathwork, meditation, restorative practices, and reflection. The program is designed to build as the week progresses, from grounding and release to reflection and renewal, giving you a sense of purpose and progression rather than a random schedule of activities.

Each morning begins with an embodied flow combining Vinyasa and Pilates, followed by breathwork. Afternoons are more flexible, offering activities like Balinese ceremonies, a cooking class, massages, or time to relax by the pool or explore Ubud. Evenings are for winding down with restorative yoga, sound, and meditation. This balance of activity and rest means you never feel rushed, but there's always something meaningful to do.

Lexie Palasciano leads the retreat. She's a lead educator for Polestar Pilates in NYC and a certified yoga instructor, breathwork facilitator, and Reiki practitioner. Her teaching focuses on mindful movement and somatic awareness, making the practices accessible to everyone. She's joined by a small, friendly team that supports the logistics, so you can focus on your own experience.

The location is a big part of the appeal. Solana is an eco-luxury sanctuary set in the jungle, with river views and traditional architecture. You're close enough to Ubud for cultural excursions, but far enough to feel secluded. The retreat includes many extras like unlimited sauna and cold plunge, two massages, and a traditional cooking class, which add to the sense of being well taken care of.
